Guest Reviews
- David (8/5): -
- LavaC (9/5): A very convenient location, nice comfortable rooms and perfect for those planning on driving. - We stayed here as a base whilst visiting the Cotswold villages and it is a great location. It’s all self service in that there is no staff on site other than the cleaners, you basically check in online, and they send you a code for the key box via email/text at 2pm on the day of your stay for check in at 3pm. It has a fob for the front door and parking at the back which is plentiful and free.
The rooms are nice, clean and very comfortable.
The bathroom has a decent electric shower and also soap. In the room there is a kettle with tea and coffee, hairdryer, fan and a small TV.
There is a kitchen with two microwaves and a fridge for those who want to store their own food, and also cutlery, plates and bowels to use.
It’s all very much self service, however more affordable than a regular hotel.
The free parking is a massive bonus especially if driving around. Bourton on the Water is only about 30-40 min drive away, and Bilbury is 15 min. The hotel is a 20 min walk to the town centre for food, but there is also a massive Tesco and Aldi near the hotel. No lifts, stairs only.
No mini fridge in the room.

- Gary (9/5): -
- Thedogsdoolies (4/5): Is anybody there?? - Price and reasonable location.
Off road parking. No staff or reception. Humans are clearly an unnecessary asset!?
Too much faf in getting a key to a room with total reliance on emails for every requirement.
Wouldn't book with this chain again.
Shame really as hotel was quiet and ok to stay in.
- Janet (10/5): -
- THEODOROS (8/5): - Το δωμάτιο ήταν μεγάλο και καθαρό. Δεν υπήρχε καθόλου προσωπικό στο ξενοδοχείο το οποίο το δουλεύουν σαν ενοικιαζόμενο διαμέρισμα και έτσι παραλαμβάνεις τα κλειδιά από keybox χωρίς κανένα να σε βοηθήσει στο check-in, εμείς είχαμε 2 δωμάτια και λάβαμε e-mail με τους κωδικούς οι οποίοι ήταν ανάποδα (ο κωδικός του ενός δωματίου ήταν του αλλουνού), δεν υπήρχε κανένας να βοηθήσει και έτσι ταλαιπωρηθήκαμε αρκετά. Η θέρμανση το πρώτο βράδυ δεν λειτουργούσε και αναγκάστηκα να στείλω email τη επόμενη μέρα για να το φτιάξουν (έχουν μόνο έναν αγγλικό αριθμό τηλεφώνου που δεν έχουν κάν ασχοληθεί να το βάλουν στο WhatsApp , και έτσι εάν τηλεφωνήσεις θα χρεωθείς διεθνή κλήση). Εν τώ μεταξύ πουθενά στη σελίδα του καταλύματος στο booking.com δεν γράφει ότι κάνεις check in με keybox και δεν υπάρχει reception.
- Elaine Margaret (10/5): Clean, tidy, good facilities - The room was very nice, bed and pillows were excellent.
Everywhere was very organised and clean.
I didn’t use the facilities downstairs but did get to walk around them, they were very organised and tidy with easy access to a good assortment of activities I liked the organisation of it and the room. Plenty of parking next to the hotel too
- Beauty Jingo (8/5): - The room was very spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. There were a few inconsiderate neighbours that kept making noise way past midnight.
- Colin (7/5): Functional clean one night stopover - Located within an industrial estate and with no staff this is a strange place but very clean and ideal for a functional one night stopover The main bypass is next to hotel and very busy so too noisy. It’s right on the outskirts of town.
- Griffiths (8/5): - Nice & clean Shower had poor power
- Christine (8/5): Takes a little getting used to with it being unmanned although we didn’t have any issues. It was about a 15 minute walk - Price was good and there was plenty of room in the car park.
- María (10/5): -
- Schmidt Beduschi (9/5): -
- Alexandria (8/5): -
- Monique (9/5): Goed verblijf - Grote, ruime kamer. Superschoon. Makkelijk in te checken. Keuken voor gasten en ruime lounge met grote TV. Vriendelijk personeel. Locatie aan het eind vd stad. Wel dichtbij goede afhaalchinees, op loopafstand van centrum.
- simon (8/5): -
- Nader (9/5): Great stay at a good price. - Easy self-check in. Clean, spacious room with all the facilities we needed. Comfortable bed, and a good location about 10 minutes walk from the town centre. Would have preferred a proper toilet roll rather than the single sheet dispenser. Some noise from the corridors audible in the mornings.
- Giuliana (8/5): - Tutto Nulla
- MaurizioM1978 (10/5): - Check-in e check-out in completa autonomia.
Ampio parcheggio
Posizione ottimale per raggiungere le mete più famose del Cotswolds Mancanza di un servizio bar, colazione, cena.
Comprensibile per cosa e com'è stata ideata la struttura, ma che la limitata un po' per chi la vuole utilizzare come base per viaggi turistici.
Dettaglio comunque superfluo
- SANDRO (10/5): Parfait pour une nuit d’étape reposante - Parking privé à l’hôtel.
Arrivée autonome très bien expliquée.
Tables et salon à disposition des voyageurs pour pique-niquer sur place .
Grand lit hyper confortable.
Bonne insonorisation (l’hôtel étant proche de la route) -
- laura (9/5): -
- James (10/5): -
- Derek (6/5): - Soft bed
- sean (7/5): - Everything just worked It's beside a busy road and there is no aircon - so the room was stuffy and a little noisy esp. when windows opened. Parking was easy and was access
- Terence (9/5): Good area for a short stay. - Very clean and user friendly, Property was fine but being older we would have appreciated a lift.
- KAZI (8/5): It was a pleasant stay. - It very clean and located in a nice place. Too expensive for this property.
- Michael (9/5): Really enjoyed my stay there very comfortable and clean. - It was good value for the price.
- Kin Seng (7/5): Overall it is of reasonable quality and good for short stays. - Easy self check-in process, clean room, soft beds, radio alarm. There was also an extra portable fan and hair dryer available in the room. Wifi keeps cutting off so effectively I was using my own mobile data for Internet connection. When it works though it is fast enough. Separate hot and cold water taps for toilet sink - slightly inconvenient. Arm chair material is quite rough and uncomfortable, and leaves marks on my skin.
- Sophia (8/5): Fine for the price. - No breakfast available, but we knew that. Location not bad. A bit noisy (from the corridors).
- Angela (8/5): - No breakfast available. I prefer to have dinner and breakfast provided.
- Gerard (9/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): - Great room, parking, kitchen and lounge area.
- Jamie (10/5): Way beyond my expectations, especially with comfort and cleanliness. - The hotel was great. It was VERY clean and VERY comfortable. I rarely give 10/10 in these two categories, but this was and easy 10/10. One note: be sure to read the check in instructions, as this is a "self" check-in hotel...meaning, no staff on site. That said, they give GREAT instructions, even including photos. Well done. I would highly recommend this hotel.
- Janice (10/5): Convenient, centrally placed, clean, no frills and good value for the price. - We had stayed before, perfect location for our needs and reasonably priced. Short walk into Cirencester, we had a good healthy breakfast every morning in nearby Waitrose cafe and plenty of places in town for lunch and dinner. We knew the property and would not have chosen it if there was anything to dislike
- Craig (7/5): Ok place to stay but no staff on site other than a cleaner - The fact that I was lied to regarding the shower being fixed so we had to use a shower in another room
- tony (9/5): -
- GuLaM.41 (10/5): - Easy access and fast check in through online Nothing to say here
- Cintia Carolina (10/5): -
- Sara (8/5): -
- petar (10/5): -
- Gavin (7/5): -
- Ornela (10/5): -
- Dalty (8/5): - There was no breakfast. No staff to help me . No one to talk to or no staff iscolated area
- Dolores (8/5): Struttura comoda e pulita - Parcheggio comodissimo. Self check-in Ospiti rumorosi di notte in corridoio
- giulia (8/5): - Letto comodo, parcheggio molto utile. Cucina pure molto utile Business hotel un po’ anonimo comunque confortevole e fa quel che deve
- Lorraine (10/5): Fantastic place to stay - It was so clean, the small kitchen area was a great feature and the lobby was a great area to sit the staff were great and very friendly
Will stay again it was really good When we arrived the room did smell of cigarettes but once we opened the window and aired it, it was fine.
- Dilara (9/5): Great stay overall!! Would recommend. - The hotel is in a fantastic location with plenty of nearby attractions and things to do. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Accessing the property was straightforward, with clear and easy-to-follow instructions provided. N/A
- raymond (10/5): All good - Everything Nothing
- Dawn (10/5): Trip to Cirencester - Contact less hotel, but very well organised.
Day before you get notification of the booking - in procedure. The day of arrival a message is sent with the code. The hotel has a carpark at the back which is free, but you can't enter until you get the code.
The hotel room was comfortable and spacious.
Walking distance into town took us about 20 minutes, we are pensioners!!!!!
Certainly would go back and highly recommend it. Happy with everything.
- ChungWai (8/5): -
- R.A.K.Karim (4/5): So sorry I had a bad experience so I posted this review twice. - The room was spacious The bed was bent and uncomfortable. No towels nor bathroom mat when I checked-in so I had to order it through the receptionist. Room wasn't cleaned properly as there were still dust and spills on the floors left. The fridg was terrible. Smelly and very dirty like it as been there since covid era. The bathroom drain seemed clogged as it took 3 business days to clear water from 1 shower. Not the quality you expect to get from the type of room and the price you pay. The hotel does not know the meaning of "suite".
- Lee (10/5): -
- Plaskett (9/5): -
- Estera (10/5): -
- Simon (9/5): - It fitted geographically on my journey. Great value and was spotlessly clean
- Richard (9/5): - Very clean. Secure parking. Location Maybe a microwave would be good as no breakfast facility
- Robert (9/5): -
- Staley (9/5): - Hotel looks brand new. The entrance and halls are modern and clean. No staff on site so everything is automated but it worked flawlessly. The room is lovely. Tea and coffee available in the room. The only downside would be the proximity to the main road so its a little loud with the window open and a little(early Monday morning traffic) and a little warm with the window closed though there was a fan available in the room.
- Marcelo (8/5): - El espacio Solo por escalera. TV muy pequeña y ubicada en un lugar poco práctico.
- Richards (8/5): -
- Ian (7/5): - Good parking. Not far from the town.
- Marc (7/5): -
- Les (10/5): -
- John (8/5): Very happy here. We slept well and appreciated the space and comfort. - Clean, comfortable and has everything you need. Bit of a walk to town but worth it for the great value.
- Kimberley (10/5): -
- Elizabeth (8/5): -
- Daniele (10/5): The riverside hotel is great value for money - Clean, tidy, comfortable
- David (10/5): Great hotel and amazing good value for Cirencester - This hotel was so much better than we expected. We were sent through all necessary info and entry codes before we arrived. Plenty of private parking next to hotel. There were friendly staff there to help us through entry and key collection and when we left the following morning. Our room was great, so clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Fluffy white towels in a spotless ensuite. Cosy white cotton bed linen and very comfy bed. Fantastic value. Will definitely stay there again when visiting family. 5 stars from us. Everything was great....no negatives.
- Ward (7/5): -
- veronique (7/5): -
- Eleanor (8/5): Was pleased with our stay and would recommend it.especiallyif you have a car - Quiet area. Hassle free Did not see any staff.
- andrew (10/5): Very, very good. Cannot fault. Well thought out. - Exceptionally clean, good location, very good value. Cannot find fault to be honest. Nothing. First time in ‘contactless’, so not sure what to expect. However, I can see, and appreciate the business model. It works, and in this particular example, works very well. I couldn’t think of anything (of any note) to criticise. I will definitely stay here again. Had a brief chat with the cleaners, and they were very friendly, informative, and incredibly efficient in their way of doing things. No hesitation in recommending this hotel.
- Alison (8/5): -
- Vimal (10/5): Great stay! - Additional kitchen facility and secure parking!
I had to spend sometime at the lobby after checkout and the staff were very cooperative. Housekeeping even saved the day by returning a bottle I left in the room. Nothing at all, would be nice to have an oven though.
- James (6/5): Great value for money but very basic - Efficient check in, all via email and codes It felt a bit like a hostel. Rooms with check in via security boxes with codes with keys inside
- Saba (10/5): - Everything is great Only heating system
- Richard (8/5): -
- Linda (6/5): Pleasant but not much to offer. - Rooms were basic but comfortable. Not having a bar or restaurant.
- Selina (8/5): -
- Peter (9/5): - Everything, an absolute gem ! Nothing to dislike
- Maite (7/5): Agradable - Buena ubicación. No está tan cerca del centro (15 min caminando esta bien) pero es un buen lugar para ir en coche y recorrer otros pueblos. Incómodas las almohadas, tienen una sola cosa como jabón y shampoo. ( pelo largo- no hay acondicionador)
- Mattia (10/5): -
- Sharlaine (10/5): - Really clean and comfortable stay, 10 min walk into town No lifts, if you struggle with mobility issues
- Thi Nhung (9/5): -
- Mariana (5/5): Relação preço qualidade péssimo. - Ficava numa localização próxima da nossa passagem. Imenso barulho na casa de banho vindo da janela. E imenso frio, não isolava corretamente. Muito fraco para o preço cobrado.
- frank (10/5): - Everything also perfumes
- Ohnmar (9/5): Good location and clean , perfect for short stay - Clean
Adequate shared facilities All communication via online portal
No human interaction
- Rocio (8/5): - El acceso a las zonas comunes con nevera, microondas, vajilla, cubiertos, leche/café/té... Además tiene un parking con acceso al hotel. La ducha tenía muy poca potencia por lo que si tienes el pelo largo es un problema. Además, entraba frío por la ventana del cuarto de baño.
- martin (10/5): Great hotel in good location. - Quality accomodation short walk to town pub on the doorstep and takeaways within a few hundred yards. Very secure parking for motorcycles was very welcome.
Would definatly come here again. Nothing
- Brenda (10/5): Its always a peaceful, comfortable and secure stay in a clean well kept, reasonably priced hotel. - I like the modern, clean look of the hotel. It is always spotless and there are so many extras available to guests. Once you get used to checking in without any reception staff, it is a very quiet, well-kept place to stay. I thought I would feel unsafe, staying on my own in a staffless hotel but I certainly dont. I feel very secure with the keycode needed to get onto the site.
I have stayed twice, and have always enjoyed my stay. By the way, it is usually the best-priced hotel in Cirencester, so it's a no-brainer. The key board to open the gate. There are 2 and I never know which one to use
- Gaynor (9/5): - Very clean and modern No breakfast
- Arianna (8/5): - Posizione ottima, stanza della giusta dimensione Pulizia non così ottimale, sul comodino abbiamo trovato una lente a contatto e nel lavandino dei peli lasciati da qualcuno che si era forse fatto la barba
- Amy (8/5): -
- Vincenzo (9/5): Hotel calmo, pulito e tranquillo. Ottima posizione per esplorare le Cotswold - Hotel molto pulito e tranquillo, posto auto incluso. Il self check in è molto facile da fare. L'area lounge è comoda e può essere utilizzata per cibo da asporto. Niente. La posizione non è centralissima per andare a piedi al centro, ma in macchina si arriva facilmente in qualche minuto ed è facile trovare posto al centro.
- Andy (10/5): -
- Pavlina (10/5): - Very clean and spacious room. Safe location within 20 minute walking distance from town. Small communal kitchen located on the ground floor is available to all guests. Kitchen contains fridges, microwaves and cutlery which means guests can prepare their own breakfast or have a quick meal - a plus as you can save money.
- Fiona (9/5): Very nice stay for two night would stay again - Great place to stay we don’t mind the self check in was very easy to do with the information they gave us. Very clean and spacious room, good location
- Sarah (8/5): - Secure car park. Comfortable beds. The bathroom heater didn't work so the bathroom was cold. The shower was weak and very variable in temperature from scolding to freezing.
- Carmen (9/5): Buena opción en Cirencester - La ubicación, los servicios del hotel, habitación confortable. Al ser todo online, no hay opción a que te dejen entrar antes.
