Hotel is always clean and well presented. Staff helpful and well.located for town. I was unlucky to have ground floor room right next to reception (Room 8, i think) perhaps avoid that one.

The staff argued with me as to why they hadnt cleaned my room . I explained twice that i went down to breakfast and put DND sign as i knew i wanted to go back to sleep. I left as 12.30 ish changed the sign o say please clean . I returned later that night to a dirty room dirty cups unmade bed . I went to complain and the lady gave me fresh towels and mugs . The following day I asked if i could checkout a little later and she said only-if you pay £25 . I said what do i receive for the upset yesterday and the lady said you turned the sign round its your fault . Really rude as that was untrue your staff had maybe seen it earlier but had not double checked it had been changed to clean room
I thought the staff were sweet but young and in experience at breakfast the guy shouted literally no you havent paid for that when i asked if i could have eggs and bacon which made me feel embarrassed in front of other guests . I should also have been informed that the room was at the top and many flights of stairs . I would not recommend this hotel at all . The cushions on my bed were covered in felt tip and old .
The bed was very comfy and the pillows.
Luke warm shower, swimming pool is 15 mins away not in a near by building, breakfast is poor, nowhere to put clothes - no shelves or drawers just a few hangers

Excellent location, clean and well proportioned rooms all at a good price. A little tatty in corridors and on stairs. Shame no lift. All in all a good place to stay in Cheltenham and we will use The George again.
Allowed to Park in front of the Hotel well before our check-in time and received a friendly welcome. The room was big, well appointed, cosy with a large comfortable bed and excellent bathroom
