Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa

Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Some really good points to start. The location of the hotel is super handy for Gloucester/Cheltenham/Cotswolds etc the car park is large and free. We didn’t find any issues with parking. The room we stayed in for a week was their basic double and it was large with a comfortable bed. The room was serviced each day. We opted not to have their breakfast but did eat once at the hotel. The service was pretty slow and the bar service was also slow. We had a treatment in the spa it was very average. Nothing you’d feel like you needed to complain about but also no something I would buy again. The facilities are small and the locker room needs a refresh. Overall found this to be a good base to explore the area."
