"Overall, our experience at No. 131 was good, but it could very easily have been excellent. The room itself was lovely, with very comfortable beds and an amazing shower, and the housekeeping team were attentive and excellent throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was average at best. We were given very little information about the hotel, the adjoining amenities, or some fairly important practical details. The biggest issue came one evening when we returned to the hotel at around 1am to find all of the gates locked — and by locked, I mean chained and padlocked. We tried every gate we could find and eventually had no option but to climb over the fence to get back into the hotel. When I raised this the following morning, I was told that one of the gates should have been open. We had tried them all and none were. Either way, if access to the hotel changes late at night, this is surely something guests should be clearly advised of at check-in. The other thing that left a slightly sour taste was discovering a £20 charge on our final bill for two lost key cards — £10 each for two basic white plastic cards. I appreciate that hotels may have policies regarding lost keys, but again, this was never mentioned at check-in. Had we been told there was a £10 replacement charge per card, we would at least have been aware of it. These are relatively small things and easily fixable, which is why it’s frustrating. No. 131 is a lovely hotel, the rooms are excellent and th"

"First time staying in the Citrus Hotel Cheltenham. The family room we had was a surprise in that it was so huge. It even had self catering facilities in a cupboard including a sink, microwave and kitchen utensils! The room was dated and looked like we could have been in the 80’s, but it was very clean and quiet. The location is fantastic for walking into central Cheltenham, and the small car park beneath the hotel was an added bonus at £10 per night. We would definitely stay in the hotel again if we were to spend a day or two in Cheltenham."

"Room was on top floor with excellent views, but we would book a room on a lower floor in future as it was a long way to climb while carrying a suitcase. Room small, but comfortable and was serviced daily. Nespresso machine appreciated and quality brand of teas and coffees plus pint of milk in fridge. Air conditioning powerful and valued during recent hot spell. However, whenever the air conditioner was on, the unit dripped water for hours afterwards. We had to place a bin to collect the water otherwise the water pooled by the bathroom door."
