Stayed at this hotel for a business trip, staff were very friendly and had a very nice buffet breakfast the next morning. Room was ok, walls are thin, I could hear everything that was going on in the room next door. Bathroom looked a bit dated with cracked tiles, old and mouldy sealant around the edges. Hotel had internet but... More

I stayed here albeit for only a few hours but from driving into the car park till the time i drove out i was very happy with the facilities offered. The car park on entry and exit is barrier controlled and a ticket is issued which needs to be validated at reception for when you leave. The reception staff were... More

A solid yardstick in the Thistle range. Location is not city centre, a 10 min taxi to the city centre of Cheltenham. Rooms are decent. Spa facilities are ok but jacuuzi broken when last there. Good breakfast. Nice staff. More

Have just stayed 3 nights at this hotel, we had a suite, which we paid half price for as booked when sale was on, and it was well worth it, the only faults we found were no hook to hang coats on, and no bathrobes, the suite was spotless. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, especially resturant manager... More

My partner and I visited the Thistle Hotel in Cheltenham at the end of November 2011. The location was within a short drive to Cheltenham which is a lovely town on the edge of The Cotswolds. The room was very spacious and clean with a nice shower. Unfortunately here is where the Thistle gets its first black mark. The bath... More

I booked this break from an offer I saw on the Internet for 2 nights bed and breakfast over the Bank Holiday weekend and I was very impressed with everything. We got a taxi from the train station (used buses to get about after we got our bearings. Buses are cheap and regular, 2 minutes from the hotel) and upon... More
