Pros:

Clean nice hotel

Cons:

25 pounds for breakfast even if you only wanted continental. That very strong for an orange juice croissant and a coffee in anyone's book.
Oh and the lack of parking for a hotel of this size even the onsite parking would scare anyone to try and park a large car in it.

A Comfortable Stay in Leafy Cheltenham
Pros:

The hotel is very well located within walking distance of the town centre. It has a reasonably-priced car park. The staff were most helpful and when the air-conditioning was not working in my room, the deputy night manager (Miguel) moved me into another (better) room and even carried my case across to it.

Cons:

The air conditioning was not working in my original room and then the coffee machine was not working in the second one (but instant coffee and a kettle were provided).

Over priced & standards have dropped.
Pros:

Location nice.

Cons:

Unfortunately I’ve stayed before & in other Malmaisons - the staff weren’t in any rush, got our dinner requests wrong twice and the food was mediocre. “Malmaison” You s now off my go to list.

Will be back! Bar service needs to massively speed up (not the bar man’s fault)
Pros:

Beautiful old building (glad I did not have to stay in the modern bit out the back!!

Cons:

Interiors were totally out of character with such a lovely building (I expect they paid some fancy interiors “expert” a fortune though!)
