    The room set up was very small , and unfortunately our room was subject to the sounds of other doors closing rather nosily during the night

    Location was ideal, think photos flsttered the actual room a bit though, but overall the hotel was adequate and the staff were very helpful indeed

    Too noisy, not enough soundproofing... the door to room 17 had a large gap at the bottom... this was unfortunate due to other residents lacking consideration when returning to the hotel at 3am or later...

    Good location and the bed was comfortable...

    It needs investment. The bed was soft but so ripped on the headboard it was embarrasing. This is 2024 they need to sort out the internet, please. You can only get wifi if you are practially in the office. No wifi in the rooms, that's just basic.

    The room was grotty. Dirty, sticky, smelly carpet. Bathroom was clean but smelt mouldy. Window was rotten and falling to bits. Rain came in down the chimney of a disused fireplace. Bed is a futon which is very uncomfortable and very low to get out. This room was none of the rooms advertised on booking

    The location is great. 2 min walk to town centre

    The bedroom was scary, the fireplace and cupboards looked horrid and just scared me in general. The bathroom door kept opening when we closed it so that didn't help. I had to pile our shoes in front of the door to make sure it doesn't open. Did not have a good sleep. Very small room also.

    The location of the property was great, as well as the staff who were really friendly. Property had parking too which was really useful. It was clean but the state of the fireplace, and furniture in the room was scary, I did not feel comfortable at all. The place needs updating and a lot of care.

    The room was so awfully hot and the fan made no difference. The window goes to the floor so peple in the street can see you in bed. Close the curtains and it would be even hotter. It was harsh.

    This might be standard practice, but the hotel had me sign some kind of document on arrival regarding damages. The rooms next to the entrance and also quite noisy. Finally, none of the taps in this hotel apparently provide clean drinking water as the tap in the bathroom states "no drinking water". Not even the reception could help with this.

    The room and bed were clean, the check in fast and the employee answered all the questions that were asked. The hotel was located in the center of the city and that was nice for visiting around, but perhaps not so great for traveling by train.

    The shower wasn't right, the room over-hot in summer, just a very small room for two. Long way from rail station but then so is most of Cheltenham.

    Didn't get breakfast. Location good for eating drinking buses and shopping. Room contained microwave and fridge, good for price.
