Great Place to Stay - Nice and easy check in. The room was really nice and clean. I liked that the electric gates shut at night for security to the car park. I walked into the town center for dinner and it only took 10 minutes. I will be staying again.

Nice upstairs en-suite double room. Comfy double bed, large miror, place to store bags, coathangers behind the mirror. En-suite bathroom. Hand towels and bath towels included. Hand soap in room. Large desk and comfy desk chair. Key toopen/close door to oom. Free teac/coffee, plus milk and sugar provided and small cups. Kettle in room, rubish bins in room and bathroom. Free good speed WiFi. Hotel is in a busyness park complex with bariers to stop vehicles driving in. Several cameras on sight. Closed to the lively Bees Nees pub. About 10/15 minute walk from Cirencester town centre. Several take-away places near to hotel. Friendly helpful staff, contactable by mobile.
Internet sometime slow. Had to climb into small bath to use shower. No atmosphere and few guests. No immediate access staff and staff not always available. A little from town centre without a car.

Me and my partner loved the location as we were staying nearby to visit Clarkson's farm/shop/restaurant and pub. Everything was within a 30 minute drive which we found very helpful. The price of the room was very reasonable and affordable for us. The bed was very comfy and we slept like babies :). The only thought I had was that as it is a self sufficient hotel. I would have appreciated maybe a small fridge in the rooms maybe. As there is no restaurant on sight but microwaves etc., to keep small fresh foods/drinks in the fridge would be extra handy. Also for security that the foods are safe. Personally I have oat milk in my tea and we did buy some from a local shop but no where to keep it cool within the room. But just small thought to share personally. Overall we had a brilliant stay and the secure carpark is a great asset for piece of mind. Thankyou and we will stay here again in the future.

Really clean and tidy nice room. Good bathroom. Good base for travelling the area. Comfy bed good white linen Everything you needed in the room. Fan, heat coffee, tea , hairdryer. Smelt nice. Good clean toilets in reception area. Good value for money. Area for having your own food which was clean and well equipped. . Plenty of parking which is free.
Had trouble getting code to get in email wouldn't open. Luckily someone was nearby to help but other people had same trouble on Saturday night and couldn't get any help so they went elsewhere. Might need to sort out help on site in the evening as a few people had problems. Staff that Iet were helpful and pleasant.

We liked everything about it ,the cleanliness you could see as soon as you walked in the room ,the bathroom was spotless,the bed was soooo comfortable, liked the idea of the lounge and the kitchen area which has two fridges and two microwaves where you can keep your food and cook your breakfast as long as you take your food with you ,they have games and a pool table in the lounge and comfy chairs and settees, getting in and out is easy ,and the walk into cirencester is lovely ,we had stayed there before such a long time ago ,but we like it as it is now ,we'll done ".
Can't fill this one out because we loved everything about it .

Great location, plenty of parking, secure, very tidy / clean. Quiet area. Instructions on how to access etc , excellent. Check in and check out couldn't be easier. Large communal lounge for relaxing, games, pool table, TV etc.
There wasn't anything to dislike but comms were confusing regarding room cleaning. Stated, staying more than one night room would be cleaned. In our case it wasn't so guessing maybe we needed to place the door sign outside asking for room makeup? Again weren't bothered but a good heads-up for anyone else.

just used the room as I have family living close by. Didnt realise breakfast was available. Didnt see any staff to speak to. The room was spacious and clean as was the ensuite. loved the big mugs and coffee/tea selection in the room.
lack of ventilation - room got quite stuffy and couldnt open bedroom window. TV was a bit small esp. the messages to my lap top and phone before checking were good but a bit confusing and we couldnt find the locker code for our room key so had to try them all as a process of elimination but got there after about 8 try's.

The room was a good size and with a very comfortable bed and pillows too. I found my stay to be quiet - bar one person clearly returning to their room from a night out who woke me when passing by my door - but no noises of doors slamming or any noise other than that mentioned. For a Saturday night, it was really quiet and clearly well sound proofed.. A really comfortable night.:)
I did find the bathroom ice-cold with no heating on. I understand it's not necessary to have heated all the time, but in the height of winter, it would've been appreciated to have on low for morning showers etc. Also, only 2 coffee sachets which again, would've appreciated more as one alone is barely enough for even one strong coffee. Apart from that, it was all perfect and I'd definitely recommend and stay there too myself, again.

This is an interesting concept with no Staff apparently on site, but can be contacted in emergency by phone. The hotel is the old Mitsubishi hospitality building. The site used to be their UK headquarters. It is very clean if rather stark, with vending machines for snacks in a very large lounge/diner with a TV. The rooms are adequate with a comfortable bed. Kettle and sachets along with a hair dryer and TV are provided though no top up appears available as with Travelodge. Ample parking is provided and the site is secured with electric gates and Security Gate Lodge. A word of caution, the room doors are not self locking when you leave the room. You must lock the door, I ended up leaving my room unlocked with valuables in it because of this. This venue suits the professional traveller/tradesmen not needing services. There is an excellent pub/eatery on the entry road called the Bee’s Knees.
The none locking room doors and no top up drink sachets. The resident spider over the jammed bathroom blind.

The building is new and there is a huge shared room with vending machine, bar (until 2pm), board game and TV. The room was clean and it has all the basic facilities. The bed was very confortable and there is a kettle with tea and coffee.
There is no ventilation or air conditioning, only heating and the windows are double glazed with metal frame. This creates condensation and there are already the first signs of mould. The shower pressure is a bit low, but enough for a shower. There is no staff in the building.
