Overall it was fine. The staff were friendly enough and breakfast was ok. Very interesting being in such an ancient building with sloping floors and ceiling. Also sound proofing not good so a little noisy at night from other guests and street outside. Managed a reasonable night's sleep despite this.

Travel back to the 15th Century....

...for a great stay in the centre of Gloucester. Close to the city centre, quayside and cathedral this is an excellent place to stay and explore. The staff are friendly and give excellent service, and the room was clean and tidy Slightly disappointed not to meet any of the ghosts...maybe next time.

Good vale good location

Good value and the hotel had a lot of historical interest. Staff were friendly. Room was a bit cool. Bar area pleasant but spoiled by loud music that seemed more suited to the bar staff rather than the clientele’s.

Check-in was slow including requiring to fill out a form and presenting identification documentation. There was no spoon or stirrer with the beverage facilities in the room - I have never met this in any other accommodation - upon querying this at reception, the young woman there asked: " do you need one? " before fetching a spoon. Breakfast was not as good as under the previous management, it not being buffet style - will this improve when the restaurant is re-opened after the present restoration? During the heavy rain on the Sunday, I found that rain was dripping from the upper window frame inside, bouncing off the sill and causing a damp patch on the carpet adjacent to the window ( I did report this to the management on that day .). The best part about the property was the convenience to the venue and I liked the free wi-fi.

It was an intriguing building. Rooms well furnished and heated. The staff were very helpful and friendly. BUT not a suitable place for elderly or those with mobility problems. An outside flight of stairs, which could be slippery in wet weather, led to first floor and then more internal steep stairs our room. There were no grab rails in the shower. Food was well prepared especially the breakfast but menu in evening was limited and in spite of signs there was no real ale. A further problem which the hotel cannot help is the parking. We had to park 5 minutes away. We knew this but did not realise that the area around hotel is pedestrianised so people and luggage cant be dropped off. It was also complicated finding way from carpark to hotel so clearer instructions would be useful.

We had a room directly above the bar area which was not ideal. If we booked again I would request a room away from that area of the building

The staff is amazing. The breakfast at a small extra fee was delicious. It is in the middle of the historic downtown Gloucester which I hope the city continues to renovate. The only reason I didn’t give it a five star rating is that the WiFi is spotty in the rooms. The owners have embraced their history; the ambience is charming and looks like it is from a different time.

Don't be tempted by Olde Worlde charm. Avoid.

The photos make the New Inn look very attractive, in a quirky, Olde Worlde way. Don't be taken in. Best advice: avoid. No hot water, no plug for the sink, showers barely worked. When it did, water temperature went from scalding hot to freezing cold. Nothing in between, except for a second or so during transition. This was in room 114. They gave mea key to 102, to have a shower. It was a way awaw but just the same. I arrived too late to eat the evening before. The bar there was completely empty so I went down the road to where I'd heard music. Returned around 10.45: the bar was shut. Despite advertised as being open till 11.00 & I being resident. Apologies the following day and was offered a complimentary breakfast. By the time I was showered and dressed, the offer had been withdrawn. The place is in the city centre and is walking distance to the resin station. It coukd be great. Its management has chosen not to be. In the pub down the road, when I said where I was staying, there were knowing looks, mods and smiles. They agreed the rooms were competitively priced but said there was a reason why. They were right.

Good Value Stay

What a beautiful building. The service was a little ponderous but really friendly. The food was very good. The rooms were clean but could do with a good spruce up. Having said that the price of £65 per room per night made it very good value. Would definitely go again
