Everything about this place is FANTASTIC - the location, the staff, the rooms, etc. I wish that all the places I've stayed in as I've traveled around England were as nice as this place! Definitely worth a stay if you're going to Gloucester.

Modern, clean and very comfortable, a great stay in a recently built hotel. Excellent location for exploring Gloucester. Breakfast a little inconsistent- not good first morning, far better the next day. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would stay again- the rooftop terrace was great!

Best stay away from home for ages. The bed was more comfortable than at home, or in any other hotel/bnb/guesthouse I've stayed in in recent times. So close to city centre, therefore really convenient. I highly recommend this hotel!

A beautiful shiny new hotel with well thought through design and such aesthetic decor. The staff were helpful and went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant stay. The roof top bar was a definite plus, with fab views, it just made the weekend for me and my friend who had a long overdue catch up. So close to the station, an easy weekend away.

I had an excellent short stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the service stood out—efficient, attentive, and genuinely focused on making guests feel welcome. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly and polite, creating a comfortable atmosphere that made the experience even better. The room was spotless, the check‑in smooth, and the overall environment calm and inviting. I’d happily return for another stay.
