I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were basic but clean and spacious, with a good shower and clean towels daily. However, there were some issues like shredded fabric on the bed base and a burnt-out plug socket. The location was convenient, right in the heart of Gloucester, but some parts felt in decline. The service was not the friendliest, though efficient, and the breakfast quality varied. The dining experience was hit or miss, and the lack of some essential items was noticeable.

The hotel was ideally located in the city center, making it convenient to explore. The rooms had a quirky charm but lacked the advertised period beams. They were kept clean but would benefit from an update. The staff provided helpful service, although the area manager was unapproachable. The breakfast was enjoyable and excellent value for money. The facilities were adequate, with room for improvement.

The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for exploring Gloucester, although it could use some upgrades. The service was friendly and accommodating, but the rooms may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. The dining experience was pleasant, and the hotel could do with some improvements to bring it up to a higher standard.

Rooms

The rooms from the central courtyard were cold and had old, stained carpets. They left an extra heater in the room, which helped but made the air dry and caused discomfort in the morning.

The hotel's rooms were exceptionally clean, which was a real plus point. However, they need a little TLC as they were not as expected - certainly not like the pictures. The bathroom was disgusting, with the shower full of mold, shower door handle hanging off, and shower control not working properly. Hardly any water flush on the toilet, the sink plug hanging off, dirty floor, carpet, and broken stool. Overall, every area of this hotel needed a good clean; it was extremely dirty. I was expecting an old building, but not a dirty one. I would never stay here again. The breakfast room was not appealing, and there was nothing good to say. The approach to the hotel was not appealing either, and everything was locked up by 10 pm; I had to use a side alley to get in. The staff kindly gave us a radiator when we found out the heating did not work.

The hotel's location was great and right in the center of the town, with easy access to shopping, docks, cathedral, and eating venues. However, there were some downsides like the lack of certain amenities like stirrers, toilet brush, and shower mat.

The dining experience was not up to standard, and the buffet breakfast was cold due to cold plates, with limited options. The quality of the food was disappointing for the price.

My stay at the hotel had its positives and negatives. The room, although spacious and comfortable, lacked a nice view and some privacy due to facing a yard where delivery activities were visible. The service was friendly, but there were some lapses in providing necessary information. The location was excellent for exploring Gloucester, but late-night noise could be heard. The dining experience had historical charm but was limited in availability. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
