This must be one of the best hotels and places to eat in Worcester, if not the best. I arrived for an overnight stay at about 6.40pm and was welcomed by Katie, who was very cheerful and instantly made me feel at home. My room was excellent, of a good size and was quiet, even though I had my window open. The bed was very comfortable and I had a good night's sleep. The evening meal was first class - I had the pate for starter and sirloin steak for my main course, which I asked to be cooked medium-rare, which it was, which was great because so many restaurants overcook steak. The breakfast was first class, with good quality ingredients (e.g. very fresh eggs, thick bacon and good quality sausages, tomatoes and mushrooms) cooked to perfection by Margi and excellent service. Debbie, the hostess, was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for her. I asked for the phone number of a local taxi firm, but Debbie phoned for a taxi for me herself, as she knew they would be busy later. This is an excellent place to stay and eat in Worcester. I shall definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Worcester. Thank you everyone at Ye Olde Talbot for an excellent experience.
