Holiday Inn Gloucester-Cheltenham by IHG

8/10 Good

"Surprised by the quality of the room and had a comfortable night's sleep. Air con was working well, TV was good, bathroom with a bath was bright and modern. Food and drinks are on the expensive side. Staff did a good job of welcoming us. Be warned, it does say on the listing, rooms on the 1st floor do not have lift access, so if you struggle with stairs worth making a deliberate accessibility request. We made this booking at the last minute, room was ready and in grand condition, with beds and sofabed made up fresh in no time at all."

Hatton Court

8/10 Good

"It was fine, no problems."

Holiday Inn Express Gloucester - South by IHG
