What guests think

Across the reviews, The George stands out for its central location, stylish rooms and notably friendly staff, but limited facilities (no lift, no bar, scarce on-site parking), occasional noise, and some maintenance or cleanliness lapses temper the overall experience.

Beds are widely praised for comfort, and several rooms feel spacious and well furnished. Others found rooms small or dark with limited storage, plus inconsistent heating or noisy air-conditioning. Breakfast quality draws compliments, but hot dishes often cost extra, pricing can be unclear, and service or the basement space can disappoint. Expect a characterful boutique stay with strong basics and some trade-offs.

Good central location with stylish rooms, and a nice breakfast. Staff are very pleasant and helpful It doesn’t have a lift as it’s a historic property so be prepared to carry your suitcase up some stairs

The check-in team was friendly and helpful. The room was fine for a one-night stay. We had our dog with us, and the hotel was very dog-friendly. Parking at the back of the hotel was limited, and we were unable to find a space. We were able to park on the main road outside of the hotel for free as it was a Sunday, running into the bank holiday. Otherwise, parking would need to be paid. The location was good for bars, restaurants, etc.

Stay was good, the location is excellent and the cleanliness of the room was also very good. My only criticism is the lack of car parking facilities at the hotel about 6 spaces at the front and the same at the rear, other than that the public car park opposite is the alternative which is an added cost.

Our second time in this hotel, this time on the top floor. Not suitable for disabled due to number of stairs and no lift but not an issue for us. Lush shower, way comfy bed, quiet on a friday night and ideally situated. Perfect for our requirements

Lovely building and rooms, so had a very comfortable stay. Short walk into town so a good location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only downside is steep stairs to carry bags and no bar. Lounge was just the breakfast room. So more of a B&B than a hotel but very nice but would have been better to have a bar and some food.

Really nice overnight stay at The George (room only). Good sized room, great bathroom & shower & good amenities. Big perk is the free on-site parking (although understandably limited and first come first served). There’s less “frills” here compared to other hotels in Cheltenham, but they’ve nailed the basics on comfort and style for a decent price. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was lovely and of a good standard for what we paid and situated in the perfect location. Staff were welcoming and helpful. We had a quiet rear room, which was quite small. However, it was sufficient for two nights stay. It offered some nice touches, such as cocktail glasses and a good selection of condements. There was no bar onsite however, they did have a 24 hour pantry which offered a small selection of snacks, drinks etc. The hotel is dog friendly, they do charge per night for your dog to stay which we did find a little steep. As part of this cost they provided a dog bed bowl and the one goodie box. Overall it was a lovely stay and we would return.

Also, the water bottle had lip stick on but the chap changed it for me quickly. Good location to town too.

breakfast n/a as didn't stay for that, parking was OK, but didn't feel very safe. Room incredibly disappointing, shower needed a good clean, room overall was in an OK condition but lots of areas that could have been better, a tear in the carpet was dangerous, a strange noise from the bathroom all night plus shouting, doors slamming and lots of noise all night. Noise from the road was also an issue, but appreciate there's a limit on what can be done due to no secondary glazing/listed frontage.

This is a nice hotel is an interesting old building. The location is good as it’s close to the town but the immediate area isn’t the smartest for Cheltenham. The room was generally clean although there was hair on the wall in the shower! The disappointment was the breakfast area - it’s cramped and dingy in the basement! We were told breakfast was £17 when checking in and then when we went to breakfast we were told £12 for just cold and then around £15 extra for cooked breakfast! £27 for a hotel breakfast in this type of hotel is mad! We went to Boston Tea Party 5 mins away instead.

This hotel is looking tired and needs some love; paint coming away, toilet seats that don’t fit and the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly - someone’s comb had been left behind. It is quiet though at the back of the hotel although glad we stayed at a weekend as scaffolding platform was right outside our window so weekdays wonder what we’d wake up to. Central to town so convenient but not a patch on what the hotel was like years back

Stay was lovely the receptionist on shift for our stay was amazing. The hotel was lovely and overall we had a great stay the only downside for us was there was no lift and we got lost in the hotel a couple of times. Other guests were rather loud so we were disturbed through the night and the bed although lovely was not to our comfort and the room needed a couple of touch ups as some paint was peeling on the walls.

Terrible stay all round. 1/ Rooms are not soundproofed at all - constant banging, screaming and crying from a child in a room above us that stopped at 1030pm, started at 430am and then continued thru to 630am and beyond. 2/ Room advertised as superior king however its two single beds pushed together without a mattress protector to cover both. Wouldn’t have booked if I’d have known this. 3/ There’s a two inch gap under the door which meant that we could hear everything and everyone in the hallway and reception as well as giving us the over powering smell of breakfast at 6am which permeated through everything. 4/ Road noise was pretty bad throughout. 5/ Air conditioning needs a service as it sounded like a loose or squeaky wheel or bearing which lasted the duration of our stay. All round this stay proved you just need to stick to chains (Marriot/Hilton etc) as the amount paid and the service offered were just not up to par with the brand name competition.

This is a nice hotel in a great location. Stayed two nights. Very quiet and comfortable night’s sleep. Our only criticism is that there was no room to store clothes/belongings apart from a very narrow wardrobe. No drawers or shelves to put things on so other than hanging a couple of shirts everything else had to stay in the case. There was a small foldaway luggage rack to put your case on but this was fairly inadequate for even a small weekend case. A small drawer/shelf unit would have solved the problem. We would stay again though for one or two nights.

Really disappointed. Check in man was very rude. We had booked the same room and the same way as our friends checking in at the same time but the man on reception insisted we pay a security deposit and was very rude about it but didn't ask the same of our friends. No explanation why. Room was on the main stairwell so passing noise regular. Hoping for a nice lie in but we were woken at just before 8am by the fire alarm going off (we hadn't got in until 2am). Terrible stay and wouldn't recommend

My partner and I had a brilliant 2-night stay at The George. Having just recovered from surgery on her wrist, I mentioned this, and a need for additionsl pillows, as a special request and everything from The George - from response time to accomodation - was five star. Breakfast (both continental and a la carte) was one of the best we've had and the bed was one of the comfiest. We were only here for two nights for a wedding but wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely recommend ataying at The George! Also, use of the nearby CLC swimming pool was super easy and straightforward. Thanks to everyone at The George for a great stay.

The hotel is lovely but the £15 for breakfast is a joke. The continental breakfast is a few stale looking pastries, cereal, juices and machine coffee. I complained that it was a rip off and I was offered a free cooked breakfast, but I would not pay £15 or recommend someone else paid that. Save the money and eat breakfast elsewhere. A major letdown for a lovely hotel
