Pros:

The Holiday Inn Express Gloucester-South is a very good standard hotel. Despite being located close to the motorway, there is no noticeable traffic noise inside, which makes for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

A particular advantage is the neighbouring Bumble Bee pub. It has a pleasant atmosphere and serves excellent food, making it a convenient and enjoyable option for lunch or dinner.

Overall, a reliable hotel in a practical location, with the added benefit of a great pub right next door.

Cons:

The only slight disappointment was the breakfast. It was a typical English breakfast, which may suit many guests, but the continental selection was quite limited. Apart from the usual toast, there was no fresh bread, cheese, cold cuts, or fresh fruit available.

Pros:

Camera grande con ottimi letti, grandi, stile USA. asciugamani grandi. Kit di benvenuto con te, caffe` e latte. Possibilita` di reintegrare le dotazioni dalla hall

Cons:

Un po' trascurata la pulizia dei tavoli colazione, fatta alle 7 ma circa.
La colazione e` sufficiente ma lmolto imitata al solo gusto inglese

Ok for very short stop off on way to somewhere else.
Pros:

Not much. Was clean enough, shower etc was OK and breakfast was alright.

Cons:

Small double bed. Didn’t get bed arrangement we asked for. Quite expensive for what it is. Location is a bit rubbish - nothing around.
