"Pillows were unsuitable and we had a stiff neck. Dinner was not to my taste"

"We stayed as a small family during the Easter holidays, mainly to use the pool and spa facilities, with the hotel’s proximity to Gloucester Docks (around 2.5 km) also a key reason for booking. Overall, the experience was mixed. On arrival, our room had issues—most notably the shower. The bath–shower mixer tap diverter didn’t work, and water pressure was extremely poor, to the point even a bath was just a trickle. At £120 midweek (without breakfast), this didn’t feel good overall value. That said, the sole reception staff member was excellent. After a couple of prompts, and while clearly managing the desk alone, he moved us to a suite around 9pm, resolving the issue before bedtime. He also explained the water system is quite old, which may account for the pressure. The pool and spa were clean and functional—the sauna and steam room were up to temperature, and the gym well equipped—but overall felt dated and didn’t match expectations set by the price and photos. We didn’t use the restaurant/bar on the evening or for breakfast- there were no evident menus beyond an A4 printout, and pricing felt high; it was empty whenever we walked past. More generally, the hotel doesn’t match the polished Expedia photos. It looked dated, and even after the room change, the amenities and bedding were below expectations, particularly compared to Premier Inn. In summary, excellent staff, but the property and value for money unfortunately fell short"

"No pets"

"TV didn't have signal and room could do with an update. Couldn't find anyone for breakfast but none of that mattered. We had a clean comfy bed in an amazing piece of history. Its great value for a room smack bang in the centre. This was my 3rd time and im still amazed that this hotel has retained so much of its architectural history particularly in the courtyard and Tudor landings. "

"Recently been to holiday inn found it good for my one night stay over there. Ample parking, good breakfast service. Overall enjoyed my stay. Thanks "

"Very clean, staff was exceptional!"

"Close to all shops, bars and restaurants. Free WiFi and friendly staff. The fridge, microwave and plates and cutlery were brilliant extras."

"Beautiful building, room immaculate but a bit tired in places."

"The hotel was in quite a good position for us to walk to the centre. Parking was good. The ensuite was too small, with no room to hang a bath towel. I was pleased to see a fridge in the bedroom but I was disappointed in the breakfast. The hot breakfast was nicely cooked, but I think it is unusual in English hotels not to be offered any fruit or yogurt, which I missed, particularly on the days we chose to have a continental breakfast."
