Guest Reviews

• Sasha Compton (10/5): - Everything!
• Jason (9/5): Very good - Bedrooms and TVs in each room with a large shower. WiFi not good and stairs leading to apartment.
• Francesca (8/5): -
• Benoît (8/5): Belle découverte - Le style, belle chambre et bonne literie Pas de petits déjeuners mais il y a plein de boulangerie où y aller
• laura (8/5): -
• Mario (7/5): -
• Lucy (9/5): -
• Orlágh (8/5): -
• Isabel (7/5): -
• federica (10/5): La base di partenza perfetta per visitare le Cotswold - Posizione perfetta, camera molto spaziosa e accogliente, pulizia
• Caroline Amanda (9/5): -
• Gema (9/5): Apartamento de dos habitaciones amplio. - La amabilidad del anfitrión. La amplitud del apartamento en si, las habitaciones estaban muy bien decoradas y eran muy amplias. El baño también muy amplio y cómodo para ducharse. No tenía cocina pero tenía todo lo disponible para tomarse algo por la noche o antes de desayunar. Una de las camas individuales estaba para cambiar por el uso al ser de muelles. Tuvimos un problema con la ducha que no llegaba el agua caliente pero al ratito se arregló en cuanto lo comentamos.
• Pavel (7/5): Despite the shortcomings we would definitely stay again. - The location, rooms were warm , comfortable and clean, staff very pleasant and helpful. Very comfy beds. Excellent shower. There were no wardrobes and we could find no hangars, unless they were hidden somewhere ! There was no hair dryer. The stool was too short to see in the mirror in the twin room. The hot tap was loose and turned the wrong way.
• Sally (9/5): Overall - The facilities were good. Unfortunately one of the blinds in the room didn’t work - the cord had come off. Would also add that the room lacked a hairdryer.
• Ian (8/5): - Location rate staff friendly
• Margheinsa (7/5): - La stanza era ok, il punto forte è sicuramente la posizione. Il bagno è veramente minuscolo, avevo bisogno dell'asciugacapelli ma non c'era, ho provato a contattarli per chiedere dove potessi trovarlo ma mi hanno risposto dopo ore che dovevo scendere giù al bar per averlo, peccato che il bar fosse chiuso.
• hielamms (9/5): Clean and comfy, has everything one would need for a short stay. - It had everything I needed in a single bed room for a comfy night's stay. Clean sheets, towels, soaps, TV, tea making facilities. Also a nice pub with food downstairs. The shower was bit tight to get into, bit too small and the shower door does not make it any easier.
• Lyndsey (8/5): - Room was lovely as was the location. Great to explore and easy check in and out. Had everything you needed. The twin beds were really uncomfortable and you could feel the springs. Noise was as expected for above a pub. Quiet from around midnight to 6am the rest the noise was the worst I've experienced with bin lorrys at 6am and Deliveries Unfortunately.
• SEAN (8/5): Nice place to stay in a perfect location. - Location, cleanliness, comfort and welcoming, friendly staff.
• Laura (10/5): -
• Rosie (10/5): Great staff, clean room with good amenities and nice pub. - Great staff. The room was clean with nice amenities. Would have been great if there was parking but realise it’s not a possibility given the location.
• Rosalie (10/5): - Incredible location, wonderful staff, great pub, easy check in… can’t say enough great things about our stay!
• Terence (8/5): A very pleasant stay in lovely Cirencester. - Really good location in the best part of Cirencester with everything close by. My single room was clean, fresh and nicely presented. I booked in a bit of a rush, not noticing no breakfast included. The room was a little small with no room for even a chair to put your clothes on! Also, I received an email beforehand from the pub and through booking.com warning me the pub and restaurant were closed!! I guessed this was a scam email and that someone has been hacked so I ignored it. This has put me off using booking.com in the future!
• Laura (8/5): -
• Miriam (7/5): Un autentico pub ingles con todo lo que conlleva - Es un autentico pub ingles con habitaciones en la parte de arriba en el mismo centro de Cirencester. Todo limpio y correcto y ademas cenamos maravillosamente bien en el pub que tenia muy buen ambiente Al ser un pub la habitacion era ruidosa. Nos retiramos antes de las 11 y hasta esa hora se oia perfectamente el ruidoo del pub. No apto para personas que se retiran pronto. El cuarto de bano super pequeno, con uno de esto lavabos que que al lavarte la cara se cae el agua fuera porque no te cabe. Ni siquiera tenia sitio para colgar toallas
• Juliane (9/5): The perfect stay in Cirencester - Great location, newly renovated rooms and restaurant serving lovely food. Short walk to public car parks and the many sights in Cirencester (local museum, Cirencester park, cathedral, market and shopping). We had the perfect stay in Cirencester!
• Manuela (10/5): - Camere eleganti, comode e raffinate
• Natalija (10/5): -
• Ellis (10/5): - Fantastic location and a great roast on the Sunda If parking was available
• Tariang (10/5): -
• Maximo Manuel (8/5): -
• Jenifer (10/5): - They were very helpful when I said I might be arriving late, saying someone would stay back to let me in. Turned out I didn't need that, but it was great they were flexible with me.
• Debbie (8/5): -
• Dixson (10/5): -
• Cate (8/5): Fab location, lovely room helpful professional staff - Location, helpful staff, Breakfast in the same place would have been lovely but there were loads of places to eat all around cirencester and very near the golden cross.
• Catherine (10/5): Wonderful - Great room, very spacious Nothing
• Amanda (9/5): Fabulous, friendly and fantastic - Loved Emma, she was the most accommodating host, the room was fabulous, the wine and chess playing was also delightful. Wiggly toilet seat, it needed tightening but we didn't have the tools (believe me, we normally do!). The TV didn't work. Ok for me, not the husband. The Snug is great, but not snug enough. The seats need to be more slouchy and comfy with little tables dotted around.
• Elena (9/5): - Está muy limpio y justo en el centro No hay desayuno
• Beatriz (10/5): - Lo que nos gusto fue el buen trato, ubicacion y desayuno! recomendado 100%. Fui con mi marido y dos niños pequeños y la habitacion familiar estaba muy bien, todo nos gustó
• Jill (10/5): - Loved location, contemporary clean and luxurious accommodation Needed a rail to hang clothes
• Georgina (10/5): Fantastic choice in Cirencester - Super comfy room and bed, and overall more spacious than single rooms often are. The staff were friendly and the location was excellent. I can’t fault it and would highly recommend staying here. Nothing!
• Tim (8/5): -
• Agnieszka (10/5): -
• Ingvild (10/5): -
• Robinson (5/5): Not recommend - The room (No. 2) was a good size and the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was the smallest we had ever encountered. It was extremely noisy - loud music and people shouting (they probably had to as the music was so loud) until 1am. We realise it was a Saturday night but the volume and lateness was unexpected.
• Marta (8/5): Muy bien - Estaba recientemente renovado, limpio y muy acogedor. La ubicación muy buena a un paso de todo en el pueblo. Le faltaban muchos detalles aún en el baño, estantes, repisas y alguna bombilla estaba fundida. Nos atendieron muy amablemente a la llegada pero fue muy rápido y confuso. No fue un problema para nosotros pero se oía bastante el ruido de la gente en la calle por la noche, la gente que estaba en el pub.
• rebecca (10/5): Lovely weekend excellent accomodation - Location was fantastic, we had the 2 bed apartment at the top which was spacious, clean, comfortable and the decor was to a high standard. Very cosy and ideal being above a pub. would highly recommend and would stay again
• Marianne (8/5): - Loved the location right in a lovely part of the town
• Alex (8/5): Perfect for what we needed. - Food was amazing, bed was comfy and perfect for whta we needed. The noise from downstairs was fairly loud, but its a pub and expected on a Friday night. Would not stop us from staying there next year when we are back for RIAT 2026. Will definitely look to book again.
• Laura (8/5): We would stay here again!!! - I loved the overall vibe of this place. It was great to see the bartender check us in. The room was perfect for our family of 4. The only downfall was the unit did not have air conditioning but most places in England do not have AC. We would definitely stay here again. The town was so charming. No AC
• Rosemary (7/5): - Location was excellent, clean, friendly good value for money Bed was hard
• Cynthia (8/5): Convenient for our visit, nice bedroom nice courtyard for drinks - Convenient location for our visit as choristers in concert in church Tiny shower room and wash basin No breakfast included
• Jonathan (9/5): - Tiny sink was impractical, otherwise brilliant.
• Ana (9/5): - La habitación familiar era preciosa, con vistas a la calle del pueblo. No hubo nada que no me gustó
• Ana (9/5): -
• Carine (9/5): Jolie adresse à Cirencester - Le décor et la propreté des chambres. Un pub sympathique au-dessous. La situation dans la ville Pas possible de prendre le petit-déjeuner sur place. Chambre bruyante le matin à cause de la récolte de verres sous la fenêtre
• Margherita (10/5): Nel cuore delle Cotswolds - Posizione ottima, le camere erano molto accoglienti e calde. Soggiorno perfetto. Pulitissimo e molto comodo a 50 metri dal parcheggio
• java_taco (8/5): -
• Emma (8/5): -
• Helen (10/5): Excellent stay wonderful place - The Golden Cross is in a fantastic location, right in the cente of Cirencester. The room was nice with everything we needed for our stay. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for you. The food was of excellent quality. I would definitely stay there again. The extractor fan could have done with a clean, but other than that it was very good
• Alessandra (8/5): Perfect place for a weekend - It had a central and accessible location and fast to the bus stops and the town centre. The kettle in my room was dirty, I couldn't use it. The sugar saches were all stuck together, nothing pleasant. In addition, the bathroom sink was too small and all the water came out, the floor ended up wet.
• Andrew (4/5): Disappointing. - Good location in the centre of Cirencester £100 evidently doesn’t buy you much these days. The room didn’t even have a coat hanger (there was no closet), no chair, not even a box of tissues, and the TV didn’t work.
• AMANDA (10/5): WEEKEND GETAWAY - Great central location Clean rooms Friendly staff Lovely food Good selection of Real Ales in the bar No parking on site Bathroom very small No hairdryer ...but did provide on when asked
• Sarah (10/5): Great food and great accommodation I would recommend this to anyone providing you can climb stairs. - The property was big enough for 4 people. It was very clean and well maintained. It was very modern and tastefully decorated. The only thing I would say is they could do with putting up a blind or curtains in both the entrance room and the bathroom for a little privacy.
• Fay (9/5): -
• Germaine (10/5): - We booked the family room for 3 of us and found it to be very comfortable and spacious. Excellent location too. Cirencester is a fab place and we all had a wonderful time. Shame it didn't include breakfast but plenty of options close by. The staff were very helpful in suggesting best car park and allowed us to dropour bags off early. I wouldn't hesitate to book this place again.
• Ryan (9/5): -
• LesTD (7/5): Great for a short stay. - Room was clean and comfortable. Very small bathroom but it is an old building.
• Tracey (9/5): A perfect night away with friends in a beautiful town and a lovely place to stay. Will definitely be revisiting. - It was in a side street, so quiet during the night. The room was much larger than expected and very well presented, with a large shower room. Perfect for our group of 3 friends. There was noise from the pub downstairs until late. But we expected that from booking a pub room, so wasn’t an issue.
• Deborah (8/5): Clean , friendly, great location and value for money ! - Clean friendly and reasonably priced Only a small thing but slightly chilly downstairs as they were doing renovations but really not a problem
• steve (10/5): - Rooms were excellent, very modern with all amenities including en-suite bathroom , tea and coffee making facilities and WiFi Breakfast not available but think that might be because of renovations taking place.
• Dawn (8/5): -
• Sarah (8/5): Would stay again - No breakfast Location and price was brilliant
• Kelcey (8/5): - Friendly staff TV didn’t work, really small room
• Valeria (10/5): Great family room! - Perfect family room for those traveling with friends and wanting to stay together. The bed was very comfortable, there was plenty of tea and coffee, the TV was a great size, and overall it was just a lovely room. The room didn’t have a hairdryer, which would have been nice—especially since it was raining and we wanted a warm shower and to dry our hair afterward. A hairdryer is a small but useful amenity that should be included in every room.
• Debbie (7/5): -
• Kenneth (9/5): -
• Debora (9/5): - Atmosfera calda e accogliente, posizione eccellente, personale gentile. Biscottini, cialde e tè per la colazione. La polvere sulla testiera del letto.
• Crispin (8/5): Nice place, central cosy and quiet. - NIce bedroom above a central pub. Quiet. Comfortable. Bathroom a little on the small side. We didn't eat here as the menu was typical pub-fare and we wanted something a bit more exciting for our money. Very central, perfect for walking around the city. If I were to make any changes, I'd have liked a bigger bathroom and have more interesting food options in the pub. No car park or place to drop bogs could be an issue for some, but there's a big car park five mins away.
• Dalgleish (8/5): Very comfortable - Location Quite a small room
• Sarah (9/5): - we stayed in the apartment - a double bed and a twin beds (in separate rooms) with a very reasonably sized bathroom. Excellent value for money and very comfortable.
• Marta (10/5): Beautiful place - I stayed one night at The Golden Cross in Cirencester and it was an absolutely lovely experience. The location is perfect right in the heart of the town, surrounded by beautiful historic streets and charming shops. My room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything I needed. I really appreciated how safe and relaxed I felt during my stay it had such a warm and homely atmosphere.The food and drinks were excellent too, and the pub itself has a great cozy character, full of charm and history. I would definitely recommend The Golden Cross to anyone visiting Cirencester. It’s a wonderful place to stay peaceful, comfortable, and full of friendly faces. I’d happily stay again!
• Mary (8/5): Breve soggiorno nelle Cotswolds - Abbiamo soggiornato una notte a Cirencester e ci siamo trovati molto bene. Le due camere erano separate, molto spaziose e con letti davvero comodissimi. Il bagno era pratico e pulito, con tutto il necessario per un breve soggiorno. Molto apprezzata anche la macchinetta del caffè a disposizione con cialde. Ottima posizione per visitare le Cotswolds, ideale come base per esplorare la zona. Parcheggio presente a pochi passi dalla struttura, gratuito durante la notte fino alle 8 del mattino. Unica piccola mancanza: non c’era un phon a disposizione nel bagno.
• Joshua (7/5): Very nice pub hotel serving wonderful food - The pub downstairs did incredible food. The room was comfy and had everything I would need. Bed excellent One of the blinds in my room didn’t go down fully but it didn’t really bother me
• Jax (10/5): -
• Sophia (10/5): - Excellent staff who were super accommodating with letting me check in early. Fantastic communication. Lovely room, great location and top value for money -
• Janet (10/5): Well decorated rooms above a lovely pub in Cirencester - Well located, easily accessible, big,comfortable rooms. Very pleasant staff . Our second stay and we will definitely be back. Would have been great to get 2 keys for the family room
• Alison (8/5): Cirencester is a beautiful place and we will definitely be back soon. - The room was lovely with a great bathroom and shower. It had separate access so we didn’t have to go through the pub each time we left the room. Great location for shopping and local eateries. We chose this property firstly for its location and secondly because of the extensive menu shown on the website. This unfortunately wasn’t the case when we arrived. I feel the website needs updating as it can be misleading.
• T.moore (10/5): Lovely place to stay - Rooms were beautifully done. Lovely and very comfy. Everything you we needed and a super location. Staff and Manager were fabulous, so friendly and helpful. The pub was very inviting and made you feel relaxed. Will definitely stay again. Pictures don't do it justice. Nothing
• Patrick (8/5): Great Hotel. Great Location , Clean , Would definitely stay again Great comfy beds. No problems - Excellent location right in the centre. Comfy Beds and very clean rooms. Great stay 9:00pm checkin put me under pressure to get there before closing. No Breakfast but knew about this before and was able to get breakfast next door.
• Samantha (10/5): -
• Margaret (8/5): Great place to start a UK holiday - Light, airy, clean room. Perfect location
• Darren (8/5): -
• Maria (9/5): Cotswolds Gem - The Golden Cross is in a lovely little street over the pub. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and were shown to our room. Had everything we needed for a 1 night stay. Very clean and comfortable Very nice pub and a good menu, too. Would definitely stay again. I love Cirencester. It's so pretty and has a wonderful atmosphere. Excellent cafe beside it for breakfast and the museum beside that. I highly recommend staying here. The bathroom is compact, and there's no wardrobe, but for a short stay, it was no problem. The bedroom is a good size and bed very comfortable. Being in a very quaint little street, there is no parking at The Golden Cross. But there is a public car park close by.

Check in was super easy and we were made very welcome. We ate in the pub one evening and were very impressed, the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for having us! Nothing
