Very functional and clean

Very Clean and functional (basic accommodation) no bar or restaurant, a good base for the weekend while in the area. Easy walk into town where there are plenty of pubs and restaurants.

Reasonable place to stay

Only stayed one night, room was clean, spacious and beds comfortable and place was quite. It didn’t have a fridge in room or a lift to get to room, which meant I had to carry my suitcase up the stairs.

A good price

This hotel is excellent for the price. However access is totally automated and bar from the cleaner we never saw any staff. Room was comfortable and clean. We stayed here mainly as it was reasonably price and were aware that there wasn’t a lift. If you have serious disabilities this hotel would not be suitable as there are no ground floor rooms. Felt it was rather impersonal but at the price paid this was acceptable. Overall this hotel was good value for money

First impressions impression was it looks like a hostel as was the last impression. Room had no AC Andrea’s hot day, but could not open windows due to the noisy road. Windows need to be better.

Really great stay here and glad we booked this for our stay. We also made use of the small kitchen downstairs to use the microwave and this worked really well for our requirements that evening. Room was really clean and well put together- bed was super comfortable

A good choice for a visitit to Cirencester. 15 Minute walk to the town centre. Although no staff on site, the access was fairly straightforward and when I messaged witha query they replied immediately. The bedroom was nicely finished and the bed very comfortable. The en-suite shower rtoom was not finishedd to the same standard as the bedroom. Although clean, it was just a bit basic. The only other negative was the noise from the nearby main road.

The communal areas on arrival were very basic and smelt terrible, either from guests cooking in basic kitchen or a drain smell. The room was clean bedding was good. Facilities very basic with electric shower and again a drain smell. My parter stated she would not stay here on her own as she wouldn’t feel safe.

The place was clean and not too expensive, that’s about all I can recommend about it. Impersonal and stuck on the edges of town within an industrial estate, it wouldn’t be my first choice if I’m visiting Cirencester again.

Great value hotel

Booked this hotel for a wedding as it's one of the cheapest in the area. The location is perfect ten minute walk into the lovely Cirencester. Much better area than the premier inn across the road. If you're looking for a affordable no frills hotel this is the one for you!
