Comfortable, nice breakfast.
No air conditioning
Camera grande con ottimi letti, grandi, stile USA. asciugamani grandi. Kit di benvenuto con te, caffe` e latte. Possibilita` di reintegrare le dotazioni dalla hall
Un po' trascurata la pulizia dei tavoli colazione, fatta alle 7 ma circa. La colazione e` sufficiente ma lmolto imitata al solo gusto inglese
The Holiday Inn Express Gloucester-South is a very good standard hotel. Despite being located close to the motorway, there is no noticeable traffic noise inside, which makes for a comfortable and relaxing stay. A particular advantage is the neighbouring Bumble Bee pub. It has a pleasant atmosphere and serves excellent food, making it a convenient and enjoyable option for lunch or dinner. Overall, a reliable hotel in a practical location, with the added benefit of a great pub right next door.
The only slight disappointment was the breakfast. It was a typical English breakfast, which may suit many guests, but the continental selection was quite limited. Apart from the usual toast, there was no fresh bread, cheese, cold cuts, or fresh fruit available.
Not much. Was clean enough, shower etc was OK and breakfast was alright.
Small double bed. Didn’t get bed arrangement we asked for. Quite expensive for what it is. Location is a bit rubbish - nothing around.
Beds were a bit small
Location, staff, food, cleanliness and the room.
Beds too firm
The stuff so friendly and helpful and the hotel so clean
No drinking water as u should have some bottles or water fountain where u can drink water in your room
Location is good
Traffic noise and lack of air conditioning in rooms

Breakfast was good
Beds were small for a double and rock hard , so were the pillows even though extra pillows in in the room still hard
Kerry was wonderful. Breakfast great with loads of options. Blackout windows. Great shower. Beds decent. Even a little treat for our dog. Can't fault them.
Room was a little warm but they provided a fan. I do think that senior management need to think about rosters more though. Some staff were working the day we arrived, and the night shift and then were back to start the morning shift. They were still brilliant, but they need a decent night's sleep too!
Well set out and clean
Nothing all good
room, breakfast
bed not the most comfortable
The location perfect for stop off for travel to Devon. The breakfast was also perfect and plenty of staff overseeing . We find a lot of establishments do not have enough staff and it makes for a stressful visit
Nothing !
Average bed and breakfast
Could have updated air conditioning in the whole building. I’d prefer to stay and hang out at the reception where it’s much cooler due to the air conditioning. Bear in mind we went in the heat of summer this year. Just my opinion.
Very good choice allround
Slightly warmer would have been better
The staff are very friendly and welcoming The room was clean and tidy and well presented Breakfast was of a good standard and enjoyable
Nothing Can not complain about anything
Location
No air-conditioning Staff member on reception on arrival not friendly or welcoming
It's a clean basic Hotel
The showers go hot and cold while you're trying to use them very frustrating
Easy to find. Good parking. Clean room and spacious.
Breakfast. No eggs, only powdered scrambled… No vegetarian alternatives.
The hotel was okay and good access for train and bus services the evening meal at hotel are overpriced for what they are and not much option on menu
Breakfast could be better more option like mushrooms and egg choice fried or poached would be nice rather than packet tasting scrambled egg
Closeness to where I needed to be Large clean room with sofa tv ironing board etc Dove shower gel Good breakfast , friendly staff Great value
No aircon but fan was provided
Clean room and good facilities. Great for a short stay and very friendly staff.
Just off the motorway, ideal stopover location when heading to Cornwall,. Staff were very friendly and had a goody bag for the dog. Breakfast was the usual express breakfast. Adequate and included in the price.
All was OK.
Second visit to Gloucester south. Very good location for stopover off M5. Everything you need for comfortable stay. Given quiet room away from traffic so no disturbances. Good breakfast before departure.
All good.
Good breakfast, nice choice
Didnt like the lumpy, hard pillows.
Pet Friendly Free breakfast Comfy beds Very clean Good shower with Dove toiletries Good area to exercise your dogs Good quality pub nearby Close to Asda and Lidl
Nothing
Next door to a great pub
Breakfast plenty of choice but hot food not hot!
Lovely breakfast
Accessible room . Toilet was too low and bed too low . Not enough grab rails
Needs air conditioning in the room's
Too hot in the rooms
Well organised, clean and local for Gloucester quays.

Location, check in process car park spaces. Great helpful staff. The kitchen on site was very helpful for a late meal and free tea and coffee in the evening was very welcome.
Could not turn the tap off fully which led to water running onto the floor. Did not realise immediately as checked in late. Very sparse breakfast due to supply issues with eggs (understandably) but not many other options and replenishing took too long.
Nice room, comfortable bed, very helpful staff.
The room was very hot, a fan was provided but it didn't tilt properly so was very effective, it was also noisy. We opened a window but the lock cable stopped it opening far enough. Also our room backed on to the dual carriageway so was very noisy with the window open. However with the window closed we couldn't hear any traffic, so the soundproofing was very effective.
L'accueil et la propreté des chambres
Petite salle de bain et hôtel assez à l'écart dans un parc industriel
Very uncomfortable beds and pillows. Poor breakfast food tepid and dried up bacon.
Well situated

Most things were ok and staff were friendly.
The room was stiflingly hot with no way to cool it, windows can't open wide enough and no air con, so couldn't get much sleep.
After breakfast, our clothes smelled strongly of food.
Buen desayuno.
Location was ideal with it being next to the park and ride did not have to worry about parking in city centre .Very easy to get to just off the M5
There was nothing we did not like it was our 2nd stay there and found everything perfect .
The breakfast was excellent and the fact it was included with cost of room was a bonus.
In fact nothing - we were very impressed and will choose these venues over a Premier Inn in future if there is one where we are planning to stay.
Ideal location and apart from a couple of stupid guests knocking on doors, the stay was very good.
Clean. Easy to find. Easy parking.
Good breakfast, ideal location for us, good parking, easy check in
Beds not comfortable, room far too hot, fan kindly provided but very noisy. Bedroom cramped when sofa bed made up, this was also not comfortable, not enough sockets in the room, bath towels too small.
I normally stay here, and it has excellent staff, and good facilities. Rooms are spot on.
Food. Unfortunately it looks like the menu has changed. I ordered a crispy chicken burger with fries, and it was disgusting to say the least. It resembled a frozen Birds Eye burger in a small bun and the fries were tough and possibly cooked and then reheated. I'm afraid my complaint went on deaf ears, so certainly won't be eating here again.
Good staff and a good location!
Zilch!
Excellent cleanliness and a good breakfast.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich, das Zimmer sauber und das Frühstück gut! Wir haben das Hotel als Zwischenstopp genutzt, dafür passt die Lage ideal!

El hotel está situado en un polígono comercial, tiene parking gratuito pero está lejos de la ciudad. No está mal para moverse por la zona, pero siempre y cuando lo uses solo para ir a dormir.
No tiene aire acondicionado y el calor se acumula en las habitaciones, imposible dormir. Las ventanas están bloqueadas (por seguridad) y solo puedes abrirlas un hueco pequeño para ventilar... si te atreves, porque están llenas de telarañas (menudo tamaño de bichos). Te dejan un ventilador pequeño en la habitación pero no sirve, hemos visto huéspedes sentados en la calle, salir por la noche a recepción (donde sí hay aire)... Y para colmo, una de las noche se activó la alarma de incendio a las 6AM por una "falsa alarma". Todos los huéspedes salimos corriendo (muy asustados), y no nos pidieron disculpas, ni una explicación ni detalle, ni nada. No volvería, hay mejores sitios y mejor calidad-precio.
Clean good facilities very nice staff near motorway
The fan on a very hot day was not sufficient to keep the room cool.
Everything couldn’t fault it
No complaints at all
Clean room, night staff, car parking
Poorly managed breakfast, daytime staff unhelpful, small double bed, bathroom needed a plumbers attention, no air conditioning,
Staff cordiale, buona la pulizia delle camere
Colazione poco ricca
Location was convenient for purpose of stay.
Too hot in room no air conditioning. Fan not fit for purpose. Some of Breakfast not cooked fully. Fire alarm went of at 6.00am reported as false no staff outside for information.
Clean, friendly staff, easy access for travelling
Very warm rooms, even with an electric fan
Hotel comodo se si è di passaggio perché vicinissimo all' uscita dell' autostrada. Colazione buona, completa di prodotti dolci e salati.
Pulizia buona ma da migliorare.

Convenient location close to M5, comfortable room, good value. Good breakfast included, friendly welcome, free parking. Pub next door (Bumblebee) wasn't doing food but we could have eaten in the hotel. Actually walked to Hickory's, just 5 minutes away, which was excellent.
Nothing to dislike
Dog friendly and very welcoming. Staff were lovely and room was very clean
Could do with a bin in the car park area but this is me being very picky!
Very clean staff great 👍
No aircon
I booked only the night before at a very late hour. I became aware that would not be able to check in until 10pm the following night due to my work hours, so I put a request in for a late check in (unsure if this was a thing). I also advised that I was driving a long van so would likely take up a few parking spaces. They emailed back within 20 minutes confirming the late check in was not a problem and they'd even cone off a few spaces so I could fit my van in. Sure enough, I saw the coned spaces and parked up with ease and then met at the desk by a lovely lady who checked me in in seconds. The next morning, I was seated for breakfast and checked out with no issues using the card drop off box. So easy and the staff couldn't do more to help. So so impressed.
Colazione o organizzazione, letti comodi, rapporto qualità prezzo
Good well cooked breakfast plenty of choice
Air conditioning was to cold when in the restaurant.
Great value for money
La chambre spacieuse
Good price and location (near M5)
The breakfast
Camera semplice ma ampia e pulita. Parcheggio grande e gratuito.
Posizione fuori dalla città, ma vicino a dei posti dove mangiare. Colazione non un granché.
Handy for the motorway . Comfortable beds. Staff helpful and friendly
The room had no air con and the windows opened only a few inches so we hardly slept and I got up and had a cold shower at 2am

Location and friendly staff
We had accessible room, toilet le er not working properly and shower drain looked rusty
Chambre spacieuse et confortable très bien équipée Personnel aimable et souriant un bon rapport qualité prix
Makkelijk parkeren bij t hotel
De temperatuur. Helaas was er geen airco. In de kamer was t 27 graden. Er was wel een ventilator. Geen ontbijt, maar wel een Lidl op 15 min rijden (broodjes).
All was good, but the bacon was sometimes over-cooked.
We felt that the toilet tissue (paper) was so thin that it was a false economy as one had to use more!
The room was clean staff friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel ideal to get to various shops.
N/a
Luke was especially helpful. He tried all he could to help.
Booking.com stating that some hotel rooms had air con. Unfortunately none had air con. This resulted in myself and my family having to move hotels. I am registered disabled and could’ve done without this inconvenience. Booking,com were meant to be contacting me again. Surprisingly, they have not! I shall not recommend or use Booking.Com again.
The breakfast was included in the price of hotel -a pleasant surprise.
A small criticism - the plates at breakfast could be heated for the hot food.
The staff were lovely and it was dog friendly, which is a huge win for us
Beds were very uncomfortable. Food was extortionate and poor
Stopped Sunday night very good price with breakfast
The staff and it was Cousy
Less verity and choices in the buffet
отличный отель за эту цену, для 1..2 ночи в самый раз
Situation off M5
