I paid for the continental breakfast and it was really good. The hotel provided big mugs and the coffee was excellent. There was also thick bread for toasting with a good selection of jams. The hotel also provided different cereals, fruit and buns. The location can't be beat, especially if you're arriving by train as it is right next to the train station. The room was spacious and reflected the feel of the town of Stroud. The bathroom was large, with a big bathtub and lots of light. I was able to open the window in my room too, which allowed for lots of fresh air into the room.

can't think of anything

Everything was delightful. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The bedroom was amazing - bigger than expected and a lovely bathroom. The bed was comfortable and there was a bath and over-bath shower. It's located just next to the station which was excellent for us as we were travelling for work and needed somewhere as a base. We had dinner and breakfast there and both were delicious. A good range of vegetarian and vegan options and easily able to deal with a soya allergy.

More of a warning - it was a bit loud in the room (1st floor) when the bar was open. We stayed during the week and all was quiet by 10pm but I imagine at the weekend (and during the warming weather when people are sitting in the beer garden at the front) it could stay noisy a bit later. There's no lift so not good for anyone with serious mobility issues. There was a very helpful young man to carry a case upstairs for the slightly less able person in our group so that was fine for us. Also, would be good to have a dairy free spread for toast in the morning - just Flora would be fine. A small let down when the rest of the vegan options were lovely.

Location is great, close to center, just across the train station. Crew is kind and helpful. Hotel bar and restaurant is pleasant with a nice garden. Mattress is so comfortable. Rooms are spacious enough.

There is no fridge in the room. We asked for milk for our coffee/ tea, and ended up having a clumped milk. For 180 GBP, we expected to have better facilities. Pillows were uncomfortable. We had to fight throughout the night to keep them under our head. All in all, for the price we paid for a weekend, it was a bit under our expectations with the facilities provided.

Location for a family visit in Stroud. Clearly a lot of investment gone into renovating the building, even if much has ignored heritage and gone full tilt at contemporary, a LOT of scaffolding boards which I guess ticks sustainable box. Great breakfast, make up your own eggs benedict? Lovely.

UPDATED- Just seen other reviews making same suggestions going back months... worrying not addressed! More coffee in room. 2 pods for 2 people overnight? Bit mean. Maybe add coffee bags if not pods. No milk! Not even UHT. Pain to have to ask reception or bar for fresh... so no cup of tea first thing. No pillow cases on spare pillows in wardrobe, only two on bed. No iron in room, again having to ask reception? Smart TV... nothing worked or rather connect, couldn't even stream to it, just a shame as last thing at night would have been good to stick a movie on and wouldn't have wasted time trying to get it working! If aim is 'boutique hotel' then its the details and extras that really count. Front rooms overlooking station, woken around 5-6am by rubbish collection...

This was the 5th one night stay in a hotel on my current trip. Three of them have been great and two were pretty awful. The Stroud is certainly up there with the good ones. If I understand well from my friends in Stroud, it has recently been refurbished and that has been done with taste. I loved the bedroom and the bathroom (see photos) and both had some very nice touches. I especially liked the pale green night lights, the lighting behind the headboard of the very comfortable bed and the lovely mirror and clothes rack in the bedroom. Normally I prefer a closed clothes cupboard to an open rack but the one here, in wood, was a work of art. I also loved the minimalistic sign about towel changes (see photo) which effectively achieves its purpose without trying to make you feel guilty about environmental impacts. That's all not to say that a few improvements could be made, especially in the bathroom. For older people like myself, this would benefit from having hand grips whilst standing in the shower and for getting out of the bath. The bathroom mirror could be replaced by fitting a mirror in three parts with hinged wings to allow a view of the back of the head and, though the hand gel is of good quality I personally prefer a small tablet of soap for shaving purposes. Also the little hallway leading to rooms 15 (my room) and 16 could benefit from having automated lighting. The hotel bedrooms are on the first and second floor and there is no lift, so the hotel is not really suitable for persons of reduced mobility. I think though, that the stairway to the first floor would be wide enough to allow the installation of a stair lift. The staff are extremely welcoming and very helpful. Add the free parking area - though this has limited space allocated on a first come basis - and the proximity to the station and you have all the ingredients for an almost perfect stay in what is a charming town set in beautiful countryside.

Good food, wine and cocktails in the hotel restaurant. Proximity to the train station and easy to park in the station car park

We were allocated room 23 on arrival and we asked to switch rooms as there was a constant noise vibrating from a generator on an adjacent building. We were moved to room 8 but it was directly underneath room 23 so we were kept awake all night by the annoying noise. We were unable to operate the Smart TV in the room as it would not connect to the Hotel WiFi. The bin in the room was full of rubbish from the previous guests.

Fabulous room, very clean, comfy bed. More characterful decor than most hotels. Calming vibe. And given I'd booked the cheapest room ('cosy') I was surprised to find out it was a very good size. Nice selection of herbal teas in the room - you don't get that in most places. Staff were very nice. Very central - right across from the station (but didn't hear any train noise).

Given it's Stroud, which is a pretty alternative place, I was a bit disappointed with the food options - all fine, but pretty mainstream, with no obviously healthy options. Breakfast was a bit limited. And they lose a few points for not having gluten free bread (although they did give me a GF bread roll - it wasn't the best though). Stroud is such a foodie place, there's no excuse for not having GF bread around - and you can get nice stuff there, not the normal plastic stuff.

Great location for the town centre, lots of pubs and restaurants within minutes of the hotel the bar in the hotel was lively and very friendly if a bit expensive. The bed was super comfy and never heard any noise from the train station opposite.

Could have put some water in the room and a few biscuits for the price we paid I would normally expect this. I did have to go down to reception for normal English breakfast tea bags as only has one all the rest were Earl Grey etc, I had to search for the TV remote as it was down under the bed. Parking was VERY VERY limited however it was reasonable to park in the train station car park.

Very modern, very fitting with the area around about. The staff were incredibly friendly and polite and helpful especialyl when i went to stay an extra night they got everything sorted. The hotel is situated right next to the train station which is handy if you travel by train, although the parking could be a bit hit-and-miss becuase you are at the mercy of the station sparking. Facilities and amenities were excellent in the rooms. Didn't sample the restauraunt but i did take a coffee and sit on the terrace one of the mornings which was nice.

My only criticism is it is a bit noisy at night. The rooms above the bar you could hear music until late, especially on the rooms that were above the terrace. It was okay becuase there was a 10pm cufrew but the corner room (first one i was in) you could hear the music quite late through the walls. Also you hear a lot of outside noise with the single-pane windows. But i'm not going to mark down becuase the rest of the hotel was great, i'm a fussy sleeper thats all!

Very welcoming & friendly staff and a location that could not be more convenient for the railway station (and was not noisy). The room was spacious, light & airy with good storage and an extremely comfortable bed. Fantastic bathroom and shower. There has clearly been a lot of thought put into the renovation and the attention to detail shows.

Breakfast was slightly disappointing in terms of choice and quality. Vegetarian options were fairly limited, if you don't want to eat ultra-processed meat substitutes (e.g. vegan sausages) and hash browns, which have limited nutritional value. But I know it may be what people want...I'd prefer the type of options they serve at Woodruffs cafe in town. Also, some of the fruit on offer was not ripe (rock hard kiwi fruit!) and there was no yogurt offered (where as the menu indicated that the Continental breakfast included yogurt).
