Cheap and cheerful. Great communication before the stay which was 5 star but the accommodation was what we paid for. It was clean and comfortable.

Clean comfortable room with good facilities (fridge,microwave)
Parking was very good. We DID NOT STAY there due to the fact it is a SHARED TOILETS! We booked alternative accommodation at great expense! I REPORTED THIS TO YOU ON SUNDAY 29th March. The room was misold due advertised for holiday use and it's only an over priced Doss house. NOT HAPPY AT ALL!
The bed was broken and needs replaced, the bedding was frayed.
The hotel loby door is pin controlled, but reality was you don't need the pin as the door just opens, making the whole property insecure
Everything is good ,included the room , the Space ,maybe the area is a bit far away the city center ,but in general ,it was good experience,despite the noisy sounds from the neighbors at the first night.
Clean linen and bathroom; handy cutlery, crockery and cleaning stuff, TV was in Polish but the 24 hr reception talked me through the settings and resolved it in a clear and friendly way. Bed and pillow more comfy than expected.

Good value stopover.
For the price, this was very good value. The kitchen was useful, with an oven and one set of crockery and cutlery (but no corkscrew). The walls were a bit knocked about and shabby, but didn't impact the stay in any way.
Very handy for the rail station, and a small parade of shops with takeaways and a Tesco Local for supplies.
Excellent self-contained unit 4min walk from Cheltenham Spa Rail Station. Self check-in is easy as Rooms Booked staff will send essential info such as the Entrance door & Unit door codes by 2pm via email or massage to facilitate the check-in process.
Room furniture, while considered old, are in functional condition. Shared bathrooms, however, are modern and clean.
Glad that there are a few eateries, a Domino Pizza outlet and a Tesco Express supermarket within close proximity to meet our needs. For such affordable price, what more could we ask for?
I arrived late at night, it was a bit of effort to find the exact place of my Room at the property site as there was no Counter Service late at night.
Driveway at the rear of the Property is very rough, definitely can be improved by Owner.

Pretty average accommodation. There was plenty of mould on the wall next to the bed. Other than that ok.
Everything shabby. From front of property inside hall and room. It looked like someone had been locked inside the room and dug out of the locked door Pictures given in advert misrepresented the whole place. I left on the first night and went somewhere safer.
