We were supposed to stay four nights at Ellenborough Park Hotel over Christmas, and booked based on…read moreits reputation as a 5-star hotel. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing, and the conditions were unsafe and unclean and we felt we had to leave after the first night. I don't usually write reviews, but morally, I felt I had to say something. There was no effective heating, noticeable musty stains on the floors and ceilings and the whole hotel smelled like mildew - my whole family woke up sick. mildew and mold in a hotel is serious and you cannot be charging people (especially for these prices) for unsafe conditions. While one staff member at the concierge was friendly, the manager we dealt with was rude, which was especially unsettling considering the high price we were paying for a Christmas stay. Our room was unclean with mold stains, and overall felt far below what you would expect at a five-star hotel. when we told him this, he said that "we had the cheapest room." our family paid $6,872 USD for this stay. I was absolutely appalled with his response. The property has 5-star prices but, based on our experience, not even 3-star standards for basic cleanliness. We came here with our family to enjoy Christmas, but ended up leaving early at a loss of $6,872 USD due to how poor our experience was.

Disappointed Christmas Review of Ellenborough Park…read moreReviewed 6 days ago via mobile I made the decision to join family at the Ellenborough Park. Not feeling particularly in the Christmas spirit I thought the get away would be a chance to get away and forget about things for a few days after losing my mother 5 months previously. Maybe I was expecting to much from a 5 star hotel, but must say I have stayed in better 4 star. The very young covering staff were very polite and capable but just a couple let the side down. Twice we were served but a slightly older lady in the dining room who had an excuse for every thing. At breakfast we ordered drinks and were asked to order the hot food we wanted. We went to get our cereal, toast, yoghurt etc and when we came back our hot food was already waiting for us. We asked our waitress why it had come up so quickly and she said it's always been like that, which is a lie. She offered to reheat it. You can't reheat eggs/ cooked breakfasts. The following morning we had a different server and I ordered scramble eggs on toast. Not a problem v nice. The next morning the same older lady we had from the previous day served us and I asked for scrambled eggs on toast and was told chef doesn't do it and that I could have the eggs but to cook my own toast. So as before it came up quickly and was left sitting there whilst I was in the other room cooking toast. So warm toast cold eggs! Christmas day was a let down, the main meal was awful. We were served a thick slab of Turkey without hardly any sauce or gravy which made it hard to swallow. The thickness of the meat was enough for 2 people which made hard to eat and dry. The tiny Christmas pudding looked liked it had come from a tin, it was an odd shape. The chocolate dessert on Boxing Day was inedible, the chocolate dessert was like 100 % dark chocolate and the honeycomb taste like a mouthful of burt bicarbonate soda. I noticed quite a lot of food went back uneaten. Also evenings in the lounge were ruined buy guests who thought it was ok to keep putting logs on the fire. You really need a sign about it. Apart from the lousy weather it wasn't cold. So why these people felt compelled to do this I really don't know. My family members who have stayed with you on previous occasions even said it wasn't the same as previous visits. I'm sure they will give you another chance due to work etc, but I don't think I will be

It is a basic hotel, but its location is right downtown and is very central to most activities. The room provided a comfortable bed, good hanging space and mirrors, a large comfortable bed, TV, but no phones. The Bathroom is large and has a very deep tub/shower. The tub is slippery getting in or out. No wash cloths, and only 1 large bath towel and 1 hand towel for the two of us Free coffee and tea in room as well. The Inn provides a buffet breakfast for extra which we did not try. There are many eating places very close by. We were quite happy with our stay and encountered no problems. Would recommend.

I wasn't quite use to the British toilet and mechanics which was frustrating to me....lol Located downtown near bars, liquors stores, restaurants, shopping centres you name it. Sundays everything closes early. There is a lovely kebab restaurant 2 min walk from the inn if your fighting the late night munchies where the owners are just wonderful and entertaining. The view from my room was just beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend if they are ever visiting Cheltenham. Oh and the dollar store is right across the street if your looking for emergency toiletries.

However, overall hotel room comfort did not meet expectations. When we checked in, our room was very hot due to the sun coming in the windows. The AC didn't work properly and the front desk was very slow in finding someone to solve the problem. Because we faced the street, it was too noisy to have the windows open at night to get fresh air. Perhaps I would have felt differently if given a room in the back with a view of the gardens. This was our least favorite hotel out of the six we stayed in during a 7-day walking tour.

This review is particularly for Afternoon Tea at FIG restaurant only…read more We stopped by after strolling around Chipping Campden without making prior reservation. The staffs were courteous and kindly checked for availability for us. We then were greeted and seated soon after. The service at Fig was great. The tea selections are great. The High Tea set are delicious and quite a lot! I actually enjoyed the scones quite a lot even though I don't like it that much in the States. Quality, Service, and Experience definitely worth more than 22£ per person.

The service was excellent, and the ambiance--both stylish and inviting--felt like a hidden gem. We had the gnocchi, Sunday roast, drinks, and panna cotta--everything was delicious. The panna cotta was a bit overwhelming on the lemon flavor for me, but I think that is how its intended to be. The boutique hotel setting adds to the charm, with a spacious front and back patio tucked away from the crowds.

We can't recall what Gayle ordered, while my choice was some sort of tandoori chicken dish. My pint of local beer and her class of chardonnay were also at the table. Everything tasted good, even more so with a relaxing atmosphere and interesting table neighbors. Service was pleasant, but oddly fast on the food coming out, while slow for the drinks. Rest rooms were available inside the hotel for customers, which is kind of a big thing when you're within a very crowded downtown.

I'm going to give this 5 stars for being a great Premier Inn, not for the grade of hotel…read more It's brand new, built by the river next to the Worcester County Cricket ground, which on my visit was completely underwater, as you can see in the picture! Rooms were a good size, clean and comfortable with all the usual facilities that you would expect from a Premier Inn - en suite bathroom, large TV, hairdryer, tea & coffee facilities (no biscuits though), choice of pillows for the bed, and 30 minutes free Wi-Fi. Minimal, but all you need for a good night's sleep - in fact, they do say that they will refund your money if you don't sleep properly. I was tempted to put this to the test as I didn't really get back to sleep after being woken up by the room upstairs returning at 1.30am, but that's not the fault of the hotel so it would have been churlish of me to complain. The check-in has two automated desks similar to ATMs or airline check-ins that are very easy to use, although there was a very helpful and friendly staff member on duty as well to help guide you through the process if needed. They also reassured me that the night watchman would keep an eye on the car in the car park and wake me up if the rising flood waters, which were already covering a third of the car park, threatened to engulf it. The bar and restaurant is in the building, and the staff both at the bar and at breakfast could not have been more helpful and friendly. I didn't eat the evening meal in the bar, but the menu looked OK and reasonably priced. Had I not had a prior engagement I would have eaten here quite happily. As usual at Premier, breakfast is extra but it's worth buying one as you can eat all you want from the buffet. There was a good choice of hot food to order, including vegetarian sausages (yay!). This might be because the place is new and they're trying to make a good impression (it worked!), but I hope it lasts, as this is a very convenient location close to the city centre when visiting Worcester.
