Room was clean, towels and pillows poor quality, bathroom radiator boiling hot, despite turning thermostat down. Dirty tablecloths and poor choice of continental breakfast. Poor sleep due to traffic noise.

Stay at Portland Guesthouse

Lovely place to stay in Cheltenham. The room was full of character and very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and accommodating and it included a good breakfast. I would recommend this hotel. We stayed in a superior room. Shower was nice and hot. Parking reasonable in nearby bay.
