What guests think

At Edward Hotel, travellers consistently highlight friendly, helpful hosts, very clean and comfortable rooms, useful in room fridges and microwaves, good value cooked breakfasts, easy on site parking, and a convenient walk to Gloucester’s centre, station, and cathedral.

Guests also appreciate the quiet atmosphere, a small rear garden, and the property’s traditional character. Downsides noted by some are small or dated bathrooms, occasional road noise or thin walls, and many stairs to reach upper floors. A few guests mentioned damp or musty smells and mixed views of the immediate area and walk. A straightforward base for short stays and work trips.

Everything you need for a self-contained home from home en-suite room. Very quiet and restful. Having it's own parking available, so near to town is a definite plus.

Arrived early to park the car in there car park and spend the day in Gloucester. Let them know I was leaving the car there and they said our room was ready and we could check in, so that was a bonus. The room was spacious, large shower room. Fridge, microwave and kettle was ideal if needed. Friendly service and knowledgeable about the local area and we was given a map with local sites and restaurants. Great pub 200yards away. Would defiantly stay there again if visiting Gloucester

We chose this hotel because we wanted to stay at a traditional local hotel rather than a standard chain hotel. The hotel managers were very kind and well-mannered, and we were greeted in a friendly manner, which made us feel very comfortable. We liked the room itself, the corridors, and the layout of the hotel. Looking out the window at the backyards, the trees in the neighbors' gardens, and the rows of houses is something you never tire of. The sky is wide, and the clouds and the colors of the sky that change over time are hard to forget. There was an induction cooker in the shared kitchen, and the microwave in the room was convenient and we used it often. It was also great that there was a parking lot and that the cathedral and the shopping mall in the city center were within walking distance. This is a recommended hotel that has a homey feel, is convenient, and comfortable.

Second time I've stayed at The Edward. The room was clean and comfortable with generous amount of complimentary tea and coffee. I've always found the staff friendly and helpful. Free parking on site so close to City Centre is also a plus. I would definitely recommend to friends.

Delightful hotel for my stay with my teenage son. Really friendly owner and lots of interesting historical pictures/info. So helpful to have fridge and microwave in our room and access to guest kitchen. It was very hot (attic room) but fans were provided. The shower was good and the beds very comfortable. Great!

This is a very reasonably priced hotel not too far from the train station and the town centre. The staff who greeted me seemed unmotivated. The room was clean and provided with good services such as a fridge, coffee, tea and hot chocolate, biscuits etc. which were left outside the door each day to maintain privacy. It was summer time and having a fan in the room was good. However,the room was at the back of the building and had a distinct smell of plumbing and dampness which wasn't pleasant.

This is an older building, so quirky and a little dated - that’s ok. The bathroom was a little challenging, but everything is there that you need. The cooked breakfast was excellent value for money and freshly cooked. We have never stayed anywhere so spotlessly clean . So lots of positives - not least value for money in a location so near the city centre. However, it would have been helpful to have been informed that the carpark was at the back and how to get there. The only real disappointment was the bed in our room - so uncomfortable that I had hardly any sleep during our 2 night stay. However, I do understand that what I found uncomfortable may have been fine for someone else.

Breakfast was an optional £8.50 for full English and well worth it. Only negative was it was ground floor with a bit traffic noise.

We stayed for two nights and could only get a twin room, which was fine. The rooms have everything you need, and yes they could probably do with a bit of a refresh. Our room was roadside, so was a bit noisy. The window could do with a blackout/privacy blind. The hotel is about a 15 min walk from the Cathedral, so a good location. We didn't choose to have breakfast on our first morning, as we decided to try one of the small cafes in town. Breakfast on day 2 was lovely and cooked fresh to order.

The car park isn’t the largest but they were extremely helpful when we arrived moving one of their cars for us to park. The room was lovely, bed comfortable and even though by the road the noise was minimal. Was very impressed when we arrived to find they had oak milk for my tea. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely stay again.

The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Despite being a 2 star hotel, they found us somewhere to park and helped carry our bags to our room. This is a basic hotel, but that’s why it costs a little less. But it is clean, friendly, we had a lovely room and a very good television with loads of options on it, which you don’t get at some hotels. The breakfast was extra, but it was certainly worth the £8.50. The sausages and bacon in particular were very tasty. I would recommend this hotel because it’s great value for money. It’s close to the railway station, the bus station, the town centre and the cathedral. It has its own car park and the room facilities are great. The staff were so great too. So friendly and helpful.

Parking area at the back which is part of the hotel. Lots of stairs if your on the upper floors. Within walking distance to the town centre which has gone down hill a bit since our last visit.
