It could have been a great stay once the bad aroma is dealt with, had the unaddressed noice and violence been addressed
Pros:

The room size was awesome and good location

Cons:

The bathroom in particular has an unusual bad aroma. (Not sewage)
It was extremely noisy from a gathering down stairs. Altercations outside from pub guests went on for ages was not dealt with by staff in anyway. I was tempted to call the police myself as I was concerned with the level of aggression.

Budget hotel. Tiny room. You get what pay for.
Pros:

Great location in central Cheltenham not far from everything.

Cons:

My room was small and airless with only a Velux window that did not open. The ensuite facilities were tiny and difficult to use.

My second stay. Not a luxury boutique hotel but the price reflects that.
Pros:

Good location. Ask for the parking permit that they offer as parking nearby is expensive.

Cons:

A small room but a friendly pub very close to the centre.

Very convenient for a short stay.
Pros:

The location was within easy walking distance of the centre and although the inn did not have a car park, they provided an online parking permit which was helpful as was the proprietary.

Cons:

The bathroom and shower were a bit small but in fairness, en suite facilities had been squeezed into an old building.
The inn does not provide breakfast but we knew that when we booked.
