    Hatherley Manor Hotel - Bathroom 1

    I stayed here with a friend just a few days ago, since we were visiting Gloucester with a view to…read morebringing a group of 40 people on a three day trip. This is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in for its star rating and price point. The young lady at check in was very polite and helpful, but sadly it was all downhill from there. There was some kind of function going on into the night, and it was extremely loud and carried into my room at the back of the property. Breakfast was OK but certainly nothing special, and there was an extremely limited selection of cold items in the included breakfast buffet. (You had to pay for full English, even with a breakfast inclusive rate!) The very worst part though was that the bathroom was dirty (by which I mean the toilet still had someone else's poop tracks, and there was a long black hair in the bathtub - a whole lot of ick) and the housekeeping in the room hadn't been that much better. But I was exhausted from all the driving we had done that day, so I just went to sleep, and put it down as a poorly managed and run property which is a bit of a missed opportunity given the location. When I decided to email the hotel manager to discuss this feedback with him/her, I sent an email to property asking for the GM's contact details and was told that guests are not permitted to get "higher management details without their permission"! Says it all really about what "higher management" at this hotel think of their guests.

    Had a very pleasant one night stay here with family. Had dinner and breakfast. Dinner was filling…read moreand delicious, breakfast was a bit less filling, had to ask for more food. Overall the area is nice (Cotswolds) that's why we chose to stay here. Would definitely be back (loved the armchair on the corridor).

    This is a large hotel located in the village of Upton St Leonards, on the eastern outskirts of…read moreGloucester, set in its own wooded grounds. It's a former country house, dating from 1770, but with substantial 19th century and modern additions. Anyone expecting a country-house style interior will be disappointed: it has been thoroughly modernised and, while the main rooms have grand proportions, the decor is thoroughly minimalist. Most of the bedrooms are in an adjacent block and are have a fairly standard hotel room layout, with ensuite facilities. There's no air conditioning but fans are provided. My room was comfortable, with a great bed , comfortable pillows and fluffy towels. Less good was the miserably small hanging rail located in a tall box-like contraption by the door. About a foot of hanging space seemed ridiculously mean in what was otherwise a spacious room. A tray with a kettle and tea, coffee and biscuits was provided. There were plenty of power sockets including a USB charging point. The free wifi had a very good signal, and provided around 35mbs in my room for both uploading and downloading. I was visiting with a group, so had a special meal in one of the conference facilities, rather than the restaurant. This was perfectly ok, if not especially memorable. Breakfast was a self service buffet, with the hot food refreshed regularly, though the choice of pastries and fruit was a little disappointing. Outside, the very extensive grounds (12 acres) are largely laid to lawn with lovely mature trees. It's very quiet and peaceful. There's extensive car parking nearby with reserved disabled spaces. The staff were uniformly pleasant and helpful, and very obliging. So, overall it was a decent hotel in a lovely location, with great staff.

    Lovely hotel, friendly staff, tasty food. Arrived for a four night stay, first night the room I…read morewas given was so hot I had to have a fan on all night. Not a good nights sleep. Spoke to reception and was moved to a lovely room with lots of windows and was lovely and cool. Top marks for friendly helpful staff. Would recommend to friends and work colleagues.

    This is the noisiest hotel I've ever stayed in. It's a standard Ibis in terms of furnishings and…read morelayout, and still new enough to be decently clean and comfortable. The only weird thing in the rooms is the hermetically sealed bathroom pod. There's no way to open or close the door without it making really loud noises (even the soundest of sleepers will get disturbed) and if you close it while you're showering, you'll suffocate. Another functional disaster is the window: it lets the rain in even if it's open just a crack, and that floods the desk where you may or may not have placed your laptop. At least it never rains in England, right? Because there's pretty much zero reason to be in Gloucester, the hotel is mostly used by business people and groups who hang around inside a lot. The lobby is often teeming at night and the carpark is almost always full. Book in advance if you can to avoid the same-day rates that get inflated because of this. Surprisingly, the noise from the guests is actually pretty minimal upstairs. Soundproofing between rooms seems to be okay. Just don't try to sleep in (past 8:30am or so) because the cleaning staff will wake you up as they bang and clatter and shout down the halls, which are impossible to navigate due to all the cleaning carts and vacuums and laundry piles throughout much of the day. I've never heard doors slamming so hard in a hotel. It's rarely, if ever, the guests; always the cleaners. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend this hotel for more than a one night stay. There's no point in a 12pm checkout when the noise forces you out earlier. Maybe that's the master plan? The attitude of the staff on reception is also pretty dire. Don't ask for anything out of the ordinary or mention your impolite wake-up by the cleaners or you'll get the death stare for the rest of your stay. One or two of the reception staff are fine and helpful, but the manager seems purposefully oblivious. If you have the misfortune of staying in Gloucester for more than 12 hours, try somewhere else. The slightly cheaper prices here don't make up for the fact that everything wrong with this hotel could be fixed in about 10 minutes. They just don't want to do it because it's easier to take the money from business guests and ignore the rest. Oh, and the wifi is terrible. I forgot one more point: Ibis hotels (everywhere) accept pets in the rooms. That's disgusting. I have pet allergies, so it's doubly bad for me. Just spare a thought for where you think most dog-lovers will let their dogs sleep in the hotel. I'm sure they don't clean their paws first before jumping in the bed. If you're into fleas and germs and dog crap or whatever else, than by all means, stay at an Ibis. I'm going to pass in future.
