Gloucester (Barnwood) Hotel

Back again with work and had another excellent stay. Can’t fault the staff or the hotel. Clean and friendly and loads of free parking.

Really lovely atmosphere, friendly staff that couldn't do enough for you! Clean room and ample parking! Perfect for what I needed it for!

Overall Premier Inn we're good, unfortunately the lift wasn't working But more importantly on our last morning 13/12/25 there was no hot water so unable to shower and had to boil multiple kettles for a strip was bearing in mind we were going on to a family do.

3 stars is probably about fair for this hotel. The good: - Free and plentiful parking - Larger than average rooms, which suited us as we requested a travel cot- and there was plenty of room. - Decent location for us, with a pub next door. - Despite being on a main road, rooms were quiet and communal doors are all slow close. - Comfy bed as usual The not so good: - The hot water was off for about half a day, so we had to have cold showers or no showers- not acceptable. - Our ground floor room (room 12) was very musty. It just smelled of damp as soon as we entered, and of course the windows can barely open and it’s cold outside anyway. Unfortunately our clean clothes just absorbed the smell. - The room wasn’t overly clean- there were cobwebs all around the ceiling, thick dust in the air con unit and the carpet needed a good vacuum. - The bedroom and bathroom need a refresh and lick of paint/new mastic. There are a lot of marks, scuffs etc. all over the place. - Wi-fi was slow and kept dropping back to mobile data - Bedside electrical sockets have been replaced by USB A charging sockets. The world has now moved on to USB C as standard, so these aren't universal anymore. An actual plug socket would be more useful. - Staff are efficient but not the most friendly at times. We didn’t eat breakfast here, so can’t comment on that; Gloucester and the quays are only a short drive away, so plenty of options.

3 nights £700, ruined our stay. Lift out of service, baby and elderly family put on 2nd floor with two flights and two long corridors. 2 out of 3 rooms no heating and musty. Requested sheets changed as baby sick but bed just pulled across. Will not use again!
