I stayed at Bowden Hall with my husband and 4month baby daughter. It was the first trip away as a family of three and it was very enjoyable. Bowden itself is a beautiful building and has been restored tastefully. THE BEDROOMS Our room was very clean and a decent size. The... more

Very Shabby Hotel, floors creaking and paint work long overdue for a lick. This used to be a good place to stay but not now, staff appear to be uninterested in anything but when their shift will end. Bar closes on time to the second and even as residents we were refused.... more

5th-7th May 2006. This hotel is misleadingly rated as a 3*. But in our opinion a 2* at the most. All facilities and rooms are very dated and run down including the pool-the Seb Coe leisure centre (I’m sure he'd be proud), which was very poorly maintained, the rooms aren't... more

An Event Organisers Dream
I decided to suggest the hotel to my client as we had recently had a positive experience at another Hallmark hotel in Cheshire with another client. My initial enquiry at the Gloucester hotel was dealt with very professionally and I have to say very efficiently, in this particular case my client had raised quite a few points that needed answering from basics such as parking to download speed of the internet and strength of mobile phone signals and on what networks. I was further impressed when I booked an appointment with the events team to... more
Management response from GloucesterGM

Dear guest, Fantastic to read feedback like this, and I am glad our team left you as an organiser with that feeling of confidence - we understand how important that is when organising any event, from conferences to weddings. I am also glad to say our facilities are only getting better for conference guests, with a brand new event suite currently being completed, as well as a range of boardrooms, syndicates and large event spaces - truly something for everyne. should we be able to help with any other event organising in the future, just let us know, and we will be happy to help. Glad to hear the event was a success, and thank you for your response. Regards, James Plant General Manager

Very basic!
Stayed here with my partner for valentine's weekend. It is a very basic hotel and needs a lot of improvement which they are currently doing. We didn't use the swimming pool etc because it looked very dirty with lots of dust! The room we stayed in was very standard, the receptionist told us that it was one of the 'newer' rooms and it was lovely. We had a valentine's meal on the saturday meal, it was very nice but as I said very basic. Breakfast the following morning was horrible. There was hardly anything there, no fresh... more

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your feedback, and I was glad to read the areas you were happy. Our refurbishments are coming to an end now, and we have some fantastic bedrooms and reception, and a stunning leisure centre is only a few weeks away. I was sorry to read of the issues you had for breakfast, but glad you enjoyed your meals, and that the team looked after you during your stay. I hope we get to see you once the work is complete, and you can enjoy breakfast the way things normally are. Warm regards, James Plant General Manager

fabulous service, refurb rooms excellent, ongoing refurb not a problem
we booked this hotel for a wedding anniversary. some of the reviews were a bit off putting, but all seemed to reflect the condition of the rooms. we were fortunate to have one of the newly refurbished rooms, which was excellent. very well finished, the bed was very comfortable. the staff are an asset to this hotel, very proffessional - some I wondered may have been following the Michel Roux series! food was superb, we ate an evening meal on the 2nd night. we had reservations about going because of the refurbishment, but this is not... more

Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your kind words, and I am glad your stay was so well enjoyed. Amazingly, we have been using the Michel Roux series for some in house training, and I am glad that it was so noticeable. I am also glad to say that we are progressing well with the refurbishments, and are only a matter of weeks off until the main building areas are complete. Best Regards, James Plant, General Manager

Prepare for the unexpected
I think once this hotel has everything up and running it will be fine but for now it is 'fawlty towers'. The reception is in the video theatre, the wifi doesn't really work. There is no heating in the corridors. The bathrooms are not the best (mold etc) but if you get a very good price then it's fine. The staff are well aware of the bad conditions at present and they do their best to help however they can, but some things are just so disorganized right now. The pool is nice, take your swimwear.
Management response from GloucesterGM

Hello, Thank you for your comments regarding your stay. As you have pointed out, we are in the midst of a complete refurbishment, but from next week we do have our brand new bedrooms and Reception area completed, with the bar and restaurant following shortly after. We are open about the work in hand, on the website and to third parties, hence the rates we are currently charging, but I am glad you were able to see the potential once the works are complete, and I hope you are able to visit us once the £3 million refurbishment is complete to enjoy the difference. Best wishes, James Plant, General Manager
