Queens Hotel Cheltenham

Queens Hotel Cheltenham

10/10 Excellent
"The Queens Hotel is a lovely grand hotel from 1834. There are tired areas that could use attention but overall it’s lovely. Really loved our junior suite overlooking the park and found the small bar to be charming. Did not eat there as there’s many restaurants and bars in area and close by towns. Would definitely recommend. FYI parking is an additional 17€ per night."
