8.2 is a fair relative score
Pros:

Great location and internal decoration

Cons:

The Bluetooth speaker in the room would periodically come on randomly (nothing to do with me) and at maximum volume, after several attempts over a number of hours to turn the volume to 0 and then switch it off (even this didn’t work) I had to completely unplug it!
Coffee and tea making facilities were sparse with just 2 caffeinated coffee pods for 2 guests over the course of our 24hr stay. Gin menu is extensive and there is something for everyone but sometimes the price shown on the menu isn’t what you are charged. I ordered a sloe gin (single) at £11 with a tonic (£3) along with a pint of Asahi beer at £7 but somehow was charged £25 (£5 extra) which I didn’t notice until after I checked my phone later.
Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Worth visiting
Pros:

The facilities are incredible - genuinely 10/10. The gin & juice bar has a great atmosphere even midweek. I'd visit Cheltenham again just for the hotel.

Cons:

Parking was good but tricky to find. Some people may find noise from the terrace a problem in the morning - for us it wasn't an issue.

Feel conned.
Pros:

The rooms are decorated nicely and comfy bed.

Cons:

Noise! Didn’t sleep due to various parties on site till early hours. Moved rooms the next night, only to have the same problem. Then woke up by loud building noises in the morning. Also staff were rude and unhelpful. No refund offered when I made a complaint through booking.com

Smart decor but my anxiety re the staircase marred the experience.
Pros:

Location great, bed extremely comfortable and decor very smart.

Cons:

The ac was impossible to adjust. My bathroom was down a very narrow spiral staircase which was not mentioned when I was taken to my room. I am 75 and fairly sparely but needed to be super careful going down to shower and loo.
TV only had NOW so although a very fancy tv made viewing very restrictive.
