Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Parking was external but not too far
Breakfast was ok not a lot of options nor any staff checking you paid
I found this disappointing as we could have not paid and walked straight into breakfast
Absolutely terrible experience. It was not two full beds. It was a bed and a sofa couch that was terrible. The pool was not on the property and the hours for kid swim were limited. We got back late, found dried blood and crumbs in the sofa bed. No one picked up downstairs. I told Expedia and the hotel denied it- but I took photos.

OK, but not as described!
Very good breakfast, and overall not bad but once again having specifically booked a twin room I was only offered a double; why can't you ever get this right? (My wife has a machine to help her breathing at night and a double is very difficult for us BOTH to sleep). The car parking is extra cost and NOT on site but just down the road, a lot to ask for people lugging suitcases etc. Also, we couldn't use the restaurant as there was a "function" on that night, and we were given no advanced notice of that. Lastly, there are two lifts but with one out of order all the time we were there it meant a long wait or the stairs; not impressive.

Good Hotel Shame About The Carpark
A decent enough hotel in central Cheltenham. Beware car parking charges in adjacent NCP as this adds about £10 per night to your stay. If staying for more than one night and you need to use your car during your stay then DO NOT pay for parking in advance via the NCP website as the ticket only allows one entry and one exit from the car park.
Basic hotel that was very comfortable for one night and had very lovely staff. My only complaint is that the room had a strange popping noise perhaps coming from the room next door or above. It was like the headboard MDF board was settling. Luckily I brought ear plugs and could eventually fall asleep.
Friendly and professional welcome and generally a good experience
But, I found blood stains on the carpet which had clearly been there for some time but no effort had been made to remove them.
It was too late to complain but very unpleasant and i belive the carpet shoukd have been replaced and the room put out of use.
Never seen that before
