Not bad

Not a bad hotel but a shame breakfast was accompanied by the pinging of the microwave and that the ‘pastries’ were some pretty uninspiring cheap looking croissants. I appreciate we stayed there on Boxing Day but I’d still expect slightly better breakfast.

One night stay

Excellent location. Parking available £5 per night. Did not go to breakfast which was 7am till 9am (bit early for us) check out was 11am. Friendly host. Comfy bed, warm room. Only down side you could hear the road traffic but that is probably because of the windows and being a period property and double glazed would not go with the look.

Parking Confusing

The stay was fine. The parking was confusing. I pre-paid £5 but parked in the NCP (saying so when I arrived). I have just had a fine from NCP for £40. I now see this is not part of the Zone 10 street parking. The guest house should make this very clear on arrival when they accept payment.

Nice large comfy room. Easy walk to High St & shopping. Close to Brewery Qtr & pubs/eateries. Little bit tricky getting close enough in parking zone, but didnt have a lot of luggage, so easy enough. Breakfast little overcooked, but ok.

A Friendly, Comfortable and Convenient Stay

Our overnight stay at The Portland guest house went very well. We managed to park close by and the check-in process was very speedy. Unfortunately, though, I hadn't taken into consideration that, being a town house, there would be a lot of stairs with an open balustrade which was an issue for my partner who suffers from a form of vertigo but, after explaining the situation to Rachel, Sian dealt with it quickly by putting us in a room on a lower floor. The room was lovely - clean and cosy with quality bed linen. The breakfast was excellent with good quality produce and a comprehensive menu. The Portland is very well located. Just a short walk into the centre of Cheltenham. Would definitely recommend the Portland for a comfortable, convenient and friendly stay
