Gloucester Hotel
Pros:

The hotel is very accessible and comfortable for the price range, and the staff were also very helpful and quick.

Cons:

The area during the evening and night became rather sketchy, with the building windows not isolating any noise.

For one night, the hotel was adequate but felt a bit run down, cramped and tired.
Pros:

Excellent location. Pleasant staff. Fan provided.

Cons:

Worn and tired. Felt dated. Very low bed caused difficulty. Sheets didn’t fit properly and pinged off. Room was cramped.

Ideal Location, but hotel needs improvement.
Pros:

The location of the Hotel is within the city centre so ease of getting to the hotel is perfect, Coach station nearby too. Short walking distance from Gloucester Train station.
The Room was very spacious and clean. Room had a microwave and a fridge which is extremely handy, nice big tv. Spacious shower unit too. Staff were very professional and polite. This hotel I would Recommend as its ideal for self catering needs and location within the city centre.

Cons:

First issue upon arrival was the fact the lift was not working. According to staff, the contract had expired for it and locating parts was difficult. I had to carry my suitcases up three flights of stairs. Would have been helpful if they communicated this before arrival or assisted in helping me with my bags or provide a room on ground level.

Second issue, after the second night of staying. I went out on my business on Sunday and returned to find that the room was not been serviced, Bin was still full, towels not replaced, toilets roll not replaced and no clean cutlery. in end had to collect toilet rolls from reception myself.

Third Issue, THE BED. Mattress is not comfortable, when laying on bed, felt like was laying on a lump of hardwood. spent most of the nights changing position, as prolonged laying would cause discomfort.

Zentral gelegen und für Preis-Leistung okay
Pros:

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral und die Zimmer sind sauber und gut ausgestattet: mit Wasserkocher, Mikrowelle und TV. 24h RezeptIon mit freundlichem Personal. Gute Lage nahe dem Zentrum und bezahlbaren Parkplatz in der Nähe

Cons:

Allerdings ging das Fenster nicht zu öffnen und es war super heiß und stickig. Das Personal war stets ansprechbar, sehr freundlich und lösungsorientiert. Wir hatten ein 4Bett-Zimmer gemietet, die Couch ging aber nicht aus zuklappen. Daraufhin erhielten wir ein 2. 2 Bett-Zimmer.

Reasonable price and good central location to city centre
Pros:

Very good location and reasonable price considering it was a very last minute booking. Staff member was extremely polite offered good customer service.

Cons:

Due to the location unfortunately not due to the hotel itself it was very loud at times with cars and motorbikes outside the property. The bed felt a little unstable and rocked when you moved in it which made it harder to settle but once I relaxed I slept fine.
