We had a short one night stay in Cheltenham, we were given a beautiful large room facing the road in front of the building. We could park our car streight in front of the building. Staff was very friendly. Town centre, shopping, bars and restaurants just 5 min away.

Wouldn't recommend

Really disappointed. Check in man was very rude. We had booked the same room and the same way as our friends checking in at the same time but the man on reception insisted we pay a security deposit and was very rude about it but didn't ask the same of our friends. No explanation why. Room was on the main stairwell so passing noise regular. Hoping for a nice lie in but we were woken at just before 8am by the fire alarm going off (we hadn't got in until 2am). Terrible stay and wouldn't recommend

This hotel is looking tired and needs some love; paint coming away, toilet seats that don’t fit and the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly - someone’s comb had been left behind. It is quiet though at the back of the hotel although glad we stayed at a weekend as scaffolding platform was right outside our window so weekdays wonder what we’d wake up to. Central to town so convenient but not a patch on what the hotel was like years back

Disappointing stay at The George.

After staying here last year with a positive experience, this time we checked out feeling somewhat disappointed. The location is great along with a fantastic breakfast. However our room was not what you would expect from this venue. The TV looked as though it was about to fall off the wall, the air-conditioning unit (heater) was making a terrible racket through the course of the evening to which my wife eventually had to turn off, then to top it off the sink drain failed to open, not nice when sharing a sink to brush your teeth in the morning. Finally, it would be nice if the maid/cleaners would check the body wash was full and in working order. The dispenser was broken, but when opening the screw top to extract some soap, it had congealed to a thick white sludge.
