Great shower, 2 sinks, great design.

It is not cheap, but worth the extra if you can afford it. I have marked it as 4* only as there is traffic noise at the front - I stayed during racing when the hotel was full so I couldn't move. Ask for a room at the back, which I had previously, and it rates as 5*. Highly recommended.

I got to stay at this classy space for a business trip in Cheltenham. It was a really nice…read moreexperience, and from talking to my colleagues, it's better than many other Cheltenham offerings. Pros: Lovely room, very modern layout. The was only a curtain to separate the shower and bath, so it felt very spacious. Complimentary refrigerator/mini bar, tea, coffee (Nespresso machine), and shortbread tea cookies! Complimentary breakfast - hot breakfast options include eggs benedict or a full English breakfast. Great way to start the morning The overall layout of the hotel is spacious and airy, almost spa-like. Cons: The only laundry service is per piece. Cost quickly adds up. They offered a little iPod loaded with hotel information and things to see in the area. It's a nice touch, but mine was broken. When I talked to the front desk about it, they said they would fix it but for the 2 weeks I was there, it never improved. This is a little further removed from the downtown area. Add an extra 5 min of walking to get to more of the downtown shops and restaurants.

Went for afternoon tea with the family, the table we were seated at had no lights above us, so that…read morewas irritating to begin with as we had already asked to be moved out of the conservatory as it was to cold, we just dealt with it, but the waiter could of found some where nicer for us, seemed like he couldn't be bothered to find somewhere else with more decadence rather than the first table you see will do. Then we sat, and waited, and waited. In the end it was an effort to even get hold of someone. Seemed like the service staff just had there little jobs in mind rather than at least keeping 1 eye on the customers. Once orders were placed the tea,cakes and the bubbly all came in a neat fashion and we all enjoyed are selfs. The tea and cakes were fantastic.

Some of our party had the roast which did come with roast potatoes, carrots and broccoli, and shared this with us, but I did really want some veg with my steak!). Delicious peppercorn sauce. I also tried the salmon (catch of the day) with salad which was lovely. The pudding was nice (rum and banana bread and butter pudding with rum and raisin ice cream), although not as amazing as I expected. The ice cream didn't much taste of rum. Well priced at £25 per head for four courses, but food wasn't mind blowing. However we all came away satisfied and full. Thank you!

As it's on a Friday night (and on until late), overnight accommodation is a must. We have been to a few different serviced apartments in the City which have been great (as we normally travel in quite a large group from Birmingham), but for last Friday's edition there was a small party of three people. We checked the normal booking sites for accommodation choices, but after a little mooch around came across "The Big Sleep Hotel" on one such hotel comparison website. First thing to mention is that the Big Sleep Hotel is co-owned by John Malkovich. Cool huh? Second thing to note is that they have rooms which can fit up to 4 adults for a pretty bargain price (which includes a hot breakfast). The charge for £90 (£96 including secure parking) seemed like a bit of a no-brainer so we booked on the spot. This hotel in the centre of Cheltenham was really easy to find. We punched the direction details into the SatNav and whizzed our way there from Birmingham in around 45 minutes. Upon arrival, we buzzed the carpark to grab a space (the last one available) and mooched into Reception. The parking in this small secured space is "first come, first served", so the earlier you get there the better. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We filled in the check-in details and were given our room key (they asked how many we wanted and we ended up with three). The reception space was bright, colourful and clean and had a small bar and dining area attached to it. The reception and bar are open 24 hours too, perfect for a nightcap if you're that way inclined. We asked if there was any takeaways nearby and was handed a folder with a number of menus from local restaurants. We were even advised we could take plates and cutlery from the dining area. The small touches really did make this place stand out. Our room was fab. 4 Single beds, a couch and table, a shower room (with a sink) and a separate room next door with the toilet in it. Handy, when you have more than one adult wanting to get ready at the same time. There was also a number of mirrors in the room, so not everyone had to crowd around the bathroom. The room had plenty of tea and coffee, a kettle, a hairdryer, a vanity stand and several power-points. Again, the room had everything we needed for an overnight stay but still kept a great sense of minimal, colourful design. The beds could have been comfier, but if you are heading out for a couple of nights they're totally fine. I would thoroughly recommend this chain for a weekend away. There are currently only three locations (Cheltenham, Cardiff and Eastbourne) but I would most certainly use them again.
