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.
