Even though the main down stairs wasn’t open due to reverb we had a lovely time of the terrace bar. Rooms were amazing and so beautifully accommodating for dogs. Only thing we would say is the staff didn’t clear the tables quickly so a lot of messy tables but over al we can’t wait to come back, thank you

Unfortunately, due to renovation work, the hotel struggled to maintain its usual service. That didn’t excuse no hot water in our basin- an old building ! The brasserie couldn’t cope with breakfast when needed by all residents. The noise was terrible due to bare floorboards. There was no gluten free bread available despite requesting it on previous evening.

Nice stay but wait for renovations to finish!

Hotel was undergoing renovations during our stay, which we weren’t aware of until we booked and there wasn’t any recognition of this in reduced fees or gestures, which was a shame. The property was also not accessible, especially for wheelchair users (at the time, might change with renovations?), we had to leave our babies pram in the car as too many steps. The parts of the hotel we could use were lovely, well decorated, nice rooms, mostly very clean apart from a few minor spots. Staff were very friendly and helpful when we had an issue with air con. Great location in centre of town, shame about no long stay parking for the hotel but we did manage to get the few spots outside the hotel overnight as we were mid week and was quiet, there are other parking options 5min walk away. Breakfast was great with lots of options for vegetarians too. Overall I would recommend staying when the hotel works are finished.

Work in progress

Hotel is going through some work which was not pointed out at the time of booking, this was a little irritating as I booked it for an anniversary present to my husband. Due to works being undertaken we also couldn't have a romantic meal in the restaurant as this was closed and the alternative was eating on the roof terrace. The icing on the cake though was our breakfast experience, booked to eat at 8.15 which finally arrived at 9.25 .... cold and inedible and guests who sat down 20 minutes after we did , eating before us . Saving grace were the 2 members of restaurant staff who offered us a glass of fizz as a way of an apology that we had to refuse as we were driving. One guest appropriately called it Faulty towers

The hotel was right in the centre of town and our room overlooked the Market Square and the church. Extremely comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Short stay parking was very close but it was a five minute walk to long stay parking. Building works going on on the front of the hotel at the time but that did not disturb us in any way

Bravo, Kings Head Hotel

Fantastic room rate/ value for money! Amazingly helpful and friendly staff! Beautiful room, the most comfortable bed, pillows to die for, perfect textured towels and superb toiletries, with a great selection of teas and coffee pods! I slept like a baby! The breakfast was to delicious and again, great value for the quality of the produce! Plus, you couldn’t get more centre of town- wonderfully located- will definitely be staying again!

My first impressions weren’t great, I phoned the hotel directly and was quoted £50 more than Expedia and was told they couldn’t match the price. The hotel itself is lovely, exceptionally clean and well presented. They are renovating some parts at the moment so it’s not looking it’s best, but the works aren’t particularly impactful The room is lovely, spacious, clean and well stocked with a kettle, coffee machine and fresh milk (a lovely bonus). We loved the bath. and the bubble bath was a lovely touch. We ate on the roof terrace, which was OK, the tables weren’t clean, but not awful. The cocktails were watered down, mine tasted of soda water, but they swapped it with no problem. The pizzas are incredible, I honestly haven’t had one this nice outside Italy. The bill was £40 over priced, they’d mixed up a few of the orders, but it was sorted easily and quickly (I would check your bill, it’s slightly chaotic). The staff are friendly and helpful, so all niggles were sorted quickly, but it does give the impression of being badly organised. The location of this hotel is perfect, we’d definitely stay again. I would say the price point is too high for the experience, but it wouldn’t take much to improve.

Delightful Stay in Cirencester!

We had a fantastic stay at the Kings Head Hotel in Cirencester. Every staff member we encountered was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel truly welcomed from start to finish. The rooms were incredibly comfortable—uniquely decorated, clean, and a perfect place to relax. The recently remodeled rooftop bar and dining area was a real highlight. The food was delicious, the cocktails were creative and refreshing, and the atmosphere made it a lovely place to unwind. The hotel also provided us with a walking guide of the city, which turned out to be the perfect way to explore Cirencester’s charming streets and historical spots at our own pace. We will definitely be returning. Well done to the whole team at the Kings Head!
