Csrdinal's hat...we will be back!
A very friendly and helpful welcome from Ted who helped with our bags and apologised for the kitchen being closed for the evening due to staff illness but we were able to order into the bar. Our en-suite room was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for an overnight stay. We sampled the excellent local beer and the continental breakfast hamper was both charming and beautifully presented with quality produce. Beautifully situated in the old streets of worcester and convenient for eateries, cathedral and main sopping area-all within easy walkiing distance. Thank you for making our first overnight in Worcester so relaxing.

Dog friendly hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. Delicious cooked breakfast for additional £5 per head. NCP car park entrance is not opposite Cardinal Hat and discount code does not work, however plenty of cheaper options nearby.
