Top Gloucester Hotel Reviews

Queens Hotel Cheltenham

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly and very helpful when we needed to change our room for my disabled wife."

De Vere Tortworth Court

8/10 Good

"Had to move room from courtyard. Main house suite was lovely"

Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for 3 nights while my husband was recuperating from being in hospital. The staff could not have been more helpful (especially as we had to make an amendment to our booking for medical reasons). The hotel was spotlessly clean as was our room. The bed was big and extremely comfortable, as were the pillows (quite rare in hotels from our experience). We ate in the restaurant on one evening and in the bar area on another and both times were very happy with the quality of food and service. Breakfast was plentiful, with lots of food and drink options. Use of the spa facilities were an added bonus."

Kings Head

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. , staff very helpful, breakfast very good, bar very busy on a Saturday,"

Aztec Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We were here for a party, the room was very nice and the food was very good. We had a drink and met friends in the bar before hand, there was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in there and the staff were helpful and friendly. We had a lovely breakfast and there was plenty of choice. We didn't use the spa but it looked busy and inviting."

The Thatch Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for two nights as a stop over whilst going homeward. Wanted to have a look around the area. Room was small but adequate. Clean with en-suite shower. Ate in the dining area of the pub both nights and enjoyed the food. Informal but friendly service by all, and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Recommend a walk to the canal and then the walk to Gloucester on the tow path. It’s well paved and flat and about three miles."

Mercure Gloucester Bowden Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an overnight stay and we found the staff very friendly and our privilege room was beautiful with a stunning view. We had dinner in a pod which was amazing. Thankyou to everyone for a lovely stay"
