Top Cheltenham Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Hotel Cheltenham

Leonardo Hotel Cheltenham

8/10 Good
"Picked this hotel for great location and price. Used as a stopover on the way to Cornwall. Staff friendly & professional. The room was clean, shower was good. There’s no air con, but a fan was provided. Duvet very heavy & pillows were also thick & lumpy, so this made for an uncomfortable night. Due to this we’d probably pick somewhere else next time. Good choice & price of drinks from the bar, didn’t use the restaurant as only stayed one night but food choices looked ok. Also would have liked to try the leisure facilities but didn’t feel like it after the poor night’s sleep. Lots of parking which cost £7 per night."

"The overall review of this would be positive, EXCEPT for the parking. To only have six handicap parking spaces for a property this size is ludicrous. As a wheelchair user, having to park in a the furthest area, hauling my luggage, was difficult, and quite frankly, insulting. I can’t recommend your hotel as a result."

"A really beautiful pub with stylish rooms. The only comments are that our dog friendly room (Tetbury suite) was not really suitable for dogs as it was on the first floor, up a very twisty old staircase. And a cooked breakfast was £14 extra each! Plus £15 extra for the dog made it quite expensive."
