Best KPortal Reviews
We were lucky to be able to book the night to stay last minute. The hotel is in an old pub and the facilities are old fashioned. Our room was up stairs and the ever of the roof could be seen. The shower and toilet area was small but sufficient for our use. The room was clean and it had tea making facilities, tv and it suited us. Breakfast in the morning we had a choice of cereals, fruit juice and a very tasty English breakfast. We will definitely book in there again when we visit friends in Ledbury.
I stayed in the Royal Oak for 2 nights over the weekend for a friends 50th bash. Kate, the landlady was fantastic. She was very friendly, welcoming and honestly couldn't do enough for you to make sure you enjoyed your stay. Kates breakfasts were pretty good too :). The rooms were nice, clean and spacious and the whole hotel was welcoming and friendly. The downstairs bar was good fun too for a quick drink before we headed out. The Hotel is very old and has loads of history with it, as i think it was built in the 1500;s. The carpark is a bit tight, as originally the entrance to the carpark used to be for carriages, but once you get into the courtyard, there was enough space to park up. The Royal Oak was the perfect place for me and I honestly enjoyed my stay there. I would absolutley go back again.
We stayed at the Oak last week whilst our daughter played county cricket at the Downs Festival. On arrival we were greeted by Katie, who was polite and gracious and showed us to our room. It was clean and tidy, bath and sit down shower in the on suite, nice bed and TV worked nicely after she found the remote for us. The only complaint i have is Katie didnt cut the top of my boiled eggs for me, although after i pointed this out to her, she agreed she must do better. For the price, it's well worth a visit
We enjoyed our stay at the Royal Oak; the party consisted of my wife and I, another couple, and some friends. ||Julie and her husband are very welcoming. They have only been managing the business for a couple of weeks, so you can pretty much disregard all reviews prior to this one. I now understand the negative reviews to have been caused by the previous occupant/manager, not the present management team||Julie and her husband are on a journey to build the business and offer something for the local community and for visitors alike.||They couldn’t have been more helpful during our stay. There are a few snags we hit, but they were both straight onto them and couldn’t have been more accommodating.||There are a variety of rooms available to suit all budgets. I state this because I think for some prior reviews, the author has wanted to pay travel lodge prices, yet get a Savoy experience. The Royal Oak is on the correct price point, for what you get, IMHO||The bar is well stocked and the breakfast was very good with flexibility on timings.
We used this as a base for walking in the Malvern Hills as the prices in Malvern themselves are pretty high. The place feels tired and could do with a really good renovation and clean up. I know the building is steeped in history and my comments are not related to the age of the building. The staff are really helpful and nice. It served the purpose.
We stayed here for one night,despite being unable to park in the carpark we were lucky to find free parking opposite. Friendly check in, room cold on arrival but we were told for safety reasons the radiator wasn't left on so it took a while to heat up the room.A good supply of tea/coffee and milk sachets provided with packets of biscuits given too and very useful shower caps with sachets of shower/shampoo. Bed comfy, but maybe blankets left available for use would be useful as an extra cover for the bed. The cooked Breakfast was lovely (was included in our room price) and there was a toaster provided so you could make your own toast with a good selection of spreads including marmite ( not everyone likes jam on their toast!) the fresh coffee also very nice, would definitely make a return visit
Once you go to your room you understand why they ask for payment on arrival. The hotel’s definition of en-suite is a great exaggeration, there is a minuscule toilet room and a shower cubicle in the corner of the bedroom, with no tray for toiletries and no privacy. Plenty of towels. There is a musty smell in the room. The breakfast was very basic. At eighty pound a night I felt was overpriced, very poor value for money. Extremely disappointing.
This venerable property needs further sensitive and extensive upgrading: it had a time trip feel to it: not for the still extant wattle walls and timber framing but for the 1970s furnishing in our room, the shower that could only be turned on and off from outside the cubicle, the cracked sink or the noisily sprung matress. That said, my wife and I each had a good night's sleep! We did not use the bar or eat at the Royal Oak. We chose it on the basis of price and because we were unable to find beds in Malvern. £80 is not cheap for what we had, but there it is! I'm sure the (?new) owners will bring this hotel back to what it could and should be.
