    Carpet was stained and decor tired but it is a budget hotel so accept I may have assumed it would have been better. Reception area and public areas where very poor

    The location as near to centre and the price.

    Good location, good staff but small scary old room.

    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.

    Very convenient and very good price. Friendly staff

    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.

    Not easy to get to as most of the area is oneway .. if you make a mistake then you got to go all the way round again , I had to stop on yellow line get out and ask the staff how to get to the car park .. should be something mention about to get to the car park

    Was ok for a night stay and close to my venue which was good .. but not easy to get to as most of the area is oneway .. if you make a mistake then you go all around again like I did several time
