A number of Worcester hotels have been awarded top status in a national competition by the guests themselves.

10 hotels in the city have achieved Top Rated status in the LateRooms.com Simply the Guest Awards 2016- an accolade that requires hotels to receive a minimum review score of 80 percent posted on the website, by the guests that have stayed there throughout last year.

The Manor Coach House, Halfway House Inn, The Boot Inn, Henwick House, The Worcester Whitehouse Hotel, Diglis House Hotel, The Pear Tree Inn and Country Hotel, Bank House Hotel, Travelodge Worcester and Fownes Hotel all received the highest award.

Andrea Tarpey, of LateRooms.com, said: "The LateRooms.com Simply The Guest Awards have become a highlight of the travel and hotel calendar since they were launched four years ago.

"Because all reviews on the LateRooms.com site come only from customers who have genuinely booked and stayed at the property, Top Rated status is now a trusted benchmark amongst those looking for a hotel where they know they can be confident of a truly outstanding stay.

"To receive the honour of a Top Rated status in this year’s Simply The Guest Awards means that a hotel’s standards are at the very top of the league in all areas."

A number of hotels in Malvern also achieved Top Rated status.
