Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Holiday Inn Express Gloucester - South By Ihg from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently highlight the spacious and well-equipped rooms, which provide both comfort and functionality. The complimentary breakfast is often praised for its variety and quality, with the full English and good bread being particularly appreciated; some guests, however, have found the toaster to be slow. Its location near the motorway and proximity to the Cotswolds make it a convenient base, with easy access to Gloucester city center just a short drive away, and free parking adding to the overall value.

the complimentary breakfast was totally amazing. i enjoyed a full english with the best machine cappuccino ever. free parking was on site. it was a super convenient 10 minute drive to the city center

the bed felt a little too small. it wasn't amazingly comfortable either. there was a weird smell of marijuana in the corridor right outside my room. i also noticed the drain in the sink had a bad smell when the tap was on.

the car park provided ample space! breakfast was included, a great perk. i found an extra lock on the door. it was really useful with a young child who can reach the handle.

the hotel is good though i found a room with an adjoining door.
