Really great stay here and glad we booked this for our stay. We also made use of the small kitchen downstairs to use the microwave and this worked really well for our requirements that evening. Room was really clean and well put together- bed was super comfortable

A good choice for a visitit to Cirencester. 15 Minute walk to the town centre. Although no staff on site, the access was fairly straightforward and when I messaged witha query they replied immediately. The bedroom was nicely finished and the bed very comfortable. The en-suite shower rtoom was not finishedd to the same standard as the bedroom. Although clean, it was just a bit basic. The only other negative was the noise from the nearby main road.

The communal areas on arrival were very basic and smelt terrible, either from guests cooking in basic kitchen or a drain smell. The room was clean bedding was good. Facilities very basic with electric shower and again a drain smell. My parter stated she would not stay here on her own as she wouldn’t feel safe.

The place was clean and not too expensive, that’s about all I can recommend about it. Impersonal and stuck on the edges of town within an industrial estate, it wouldn’t be my first choice if I’m visiting Cirencester again.

Great value hotel

Booked this hotel for a wedding as it's one of the cheapest in the area. The location is perfect ten minute walk into the lovely Cirencester. Much better area than the premier inn across the road. If you're looking for a affordable no frills hotel this is the one for you!
