An absolute disgrace run by fools.
I had booked two nights with these clowns for what is normally one of the most enjoyable weeks of the year and in the end could not even the stand the accommodation enough to stay there for the second night. The experience I had with this place was so bad that I would not even recommend the accommodation to someone willing to stay in hostel standard accommodation. To begin with my booking was messed up as they had double booked some rooms. They even had the cheek to say that they had been trying to contact me for a long time but could... more

The Castle Group has recentely changed its name to The Central Hotel Group, which owns Central Hotel, Central Studios, Castle Studios, and Central Servied Apartments. Links to each can be found on all websites owned by The Central Hotel Group, to promote one another. The offices for all four businesses are located at the Central Hotel, but do not work with each other, as are all managed by different people. This is part of The Central Hotel Group's decision to save expenditure costs. I hope this explaination has been helpul.

Bedbugs kept me company and fed on me. Room too small for double bed.
Was bitten in bed (presumably by bedbugs) during our stay. Room too small for double bed. Could not use chair in front of dressing table. Entrance to car park had deep potholes which was bad for our low sportscar.
Management response from RoomsBooked

We are sorry for any inconveniance caused during their customers stay with the Central Hotel. Our in house cleaning staff take every measure to ensure that each room is cleaned thoroughly before a new guest arrives. If there are belevied to be any important matters such as bedbugs in the room, it will not be used unitl the problem is solved. We realise that the car park has caused problems for previous guests, and along with the rooms at the hotel being refurbished, we now have a brand new car park without potholes.

Smelly and overpriced
I stayed her for the cheltenham festival. It was a single room with a shower sink and a shared WC(which was a bit weird). The cost was astronomical and I had to pay up front. I was a bit shocked with what i got for the money. It was a bit like hostel for down and outs. I think prior to the festival this might of been the case.

As you will now see in previous managment comments, the rooms at Central Hotel have now been refurbished. During the Gold Cup in Cheltenham, customers will find that the price of accommodation, food and drink rise in Cheltenham by a substantial amount. Although prices seem high, we are not the most expensive hotel in Cheltenham. We do have a small number of standard rooms at the hotel, which means there are shared bathroom facilties. This is explianed to all customers before booking.

Wish all hotels were that same as this one.
First of all what a brilliant location right in the centre of the town, and before you think that is great but I have to park my car, they even have their own private car park, available at no extra charge. The welcome is warm and friendly, with a ‘nothing is too much trouble attitude’ which is high commendable. My allocated room, was excellent, not overly large, however, spotlessly clean and well equipped, with the added convenience of a full sized refrigerator, a microwave oven and plates, bowls, cutlery, etc. adequate for a... more
excellent hotel will stay again
This ia a superb value for money hotel right in the centre of the city, with the added bonus of a kitchette in the room. Excellent Value for money, book direct.
Do not stay here
Stayed here on a Saturday night for my mum's birthday as we were going to the Cheltenham Literature Festival. The hotel is very centrally located but unfortunately it is located opposite a kebab shop which meant we didn't get to sleep until 5am as drunken yobs were fighting outside the hotel. On arrival at the hotel the car park was hard to find and when we did find it (down a tiny unmade side street) it only had room for about 4 cars so we had to squeeze the car into the tiniest of spaces. The one member of staff who was on duty was... more
Do try and Avoid
Firstly this place was a nightmare to find, once we pulled up outside we were informed that the car park was situated at the rear, which meant a further drive around town. The inside of the hotel was clean and the lady in reception pleasant. We did not enter our room until that evening as it was not ready upon our arrival. when we finally went to the room, we found the following. 1. Wafer thin pillows 2. No Light in Shower Room 3 No cups in room Reception by this time was closed. Please also... more

Over the last few months the Central Hotel have taken customers review into consideration and have improved our customer service. An all new staff team are now employed at Central Hotel to ensure that all customers get the best out of their stay. We ensure that every customer is aware of what they are booking or have booked, so that they are not dissapointed when arriving at the hotel. We do offer upgrades for a small charge the rooms are available. Thank you.

Superb location!!!
I stayed at the hotel over the weekend, staff were very friendly and warm welcoming. The location of the hotel is perfect as its central to high street shops and restaurants etc. The hotel rooms were of a model touch, they contained combi mircowaves, full size fridge and a kitchen sink and units. The room I had was En - Suite. The room was very clean. They have a carpark situated at the back of the hotel which i found very convienct!
