On check-in we were required to hand over our driving licence which they photocopied. When we questioned this we were told it was for health and safety reasons and if we didn’t allow them to do this we couldn’t stay. There is no reason to do this and I worry about identity fraud…. Rooms were run down and dirty with filthy carpet, torn shower mat and ripped mattress. Photos don’t match the rooms. Would not recommend.

Perfect and reasonably priced

My stay was with 2 sisters, we were given 3 single beds as requested. The room was spotless and perfect for our needs. If you desired there is a TV too. The hotel is a listed building and obviously old but fascinating . Parking available at the rear. Central to the city .

Centrally located, basic comfort

Overnight stay in Cheltenham to attend local Film Festival. Hotel centrally located with attentive staff. Stayed in Room 10 (suitable for one guest). Generously stocked tea and coffee. Kettle in great condition. Furniture overall had seen a lot of use. Bed comfortable. Small TV but serviceable. Did not use Wi-Fi. In relation to cost, it was good. Would stay again.

Poor standard Hotel

The hotel is in a good location with a good amount of free parking. The rear entrance to the property is in extremely poor condition, with no clear reception, you walk into a room that looks like an office. The room though clean and reasonably decorated has no locks in the windows and no safety lock on the door. Though the general state of repair is reasonable the whole building is not an acceptable standard for the cost

Booked for four nights and left after two! Rooms are nothing like the pictures. Serious neglect. Water heater broke on day two so was not able to shower and that was when we decided to just leave despite paying for two more nights. Bed was falling apart and like sleeping on the floor. Parking was down a narrow alley and limited to 7 vehicles.

Don't stay here.....

The hotel was the worst i have ever stayed in, its was non smoking but it stank of smoke in the corridor which drifted into our room and i mean a lot of smoke, we paid an extra £10 for late check out but the maid opened the door twice to clean the room. The room had no lock on the door, the bed was half made, I had to fix the mattress cover and make the bed sheet fit. Carpark had space for 6 cars but hotel had over 20 rooms, we ended up having to pay for parking.

A rather farcical hospitality.

I am 75 arriverd before check in and was generously allowed tyo leave my small case as I went to the cricket. I checked in at about 6.30pm and was given room 20 at the top of the house up about 3 flights. I did not announce my hidden disability but I am obviously a pensioner and would never have expected to be so far up and expected to walk up 4 steep steps without a bannister to a fire door room entrance that was very heavy. Staff could have allocated me alower room as they knew I would return. The toilet seat slipped about and didn't fiit, the batroom door handle was separating from the doot and someone scould have been locked in there and no-one would have heard them shout, and the bath mat was stained with paint and/or bleach. The room was cleaned properly and I would have liked more sachets of tea and coffee. Ther staff told me they complsin regularly about laintenance but it is rarely carried out. That room was a serious accident waiting to happen.

The staff were extremely helpful and the bathroom was clean. We paid an exorbitant amount for a room which was beyond shabby in a hotel which was in a worse condition than the room. There had been a problem with our booking and the staff were extremely helpful sorting our accommodation out, that was the highlight of the trip. The carpets in the corridors were filthy, with a number of stains of unknown origin. The room was small with peeling paint around the windows and a slightly cleaner carpet than the hallway. We go to a lot of hotels due to our work and this is not the worst place we have stayed at, it's the second worst.
