We selected Riverside House Hotel because we needed to be in Cirencester on a particular weekend and it was a better value option than the Travelodge, which was a whopping £160 per night, probably because of the Christmas market. The site is a little unusual - I suspect it was a conference centre or something in the past? - but very well located. It was quiet and you can walk into town from there. The room was VERY nice - much better than the Travelodge would have been. There is no manned reception but there was a very quick response to SMS - we found there were no teaspoons in our room so I texted and someone delivered two within minutes. The only one thing is that if (like us) you like to drink a lot of tea or coffee, I would take extra supplies of them including milk. There did not seem to be anywhere to replenish the supplies in the room, though I did look downstairs. There was a vending machine selling tea but I decided that was too expensive! We had brought extra tea anyway so we just got some milk in town. None of this was a problem. It was a great stay in a...
Read moreAs we arrived on a Friday evening at the secure parking compound, we were greeted by the security chap who gave us our key and directions to our room. Pleasantly surprised by the standard of the accommodation and facilities within the room. The bed was comfortable,the shower was excellent and tea,coffee, shampoo and shower stuff all provided. Hairdryer and trouser press in the room also. If you need more fresh towels or toilet rolls these are kept in a storeroom at the end of the corridor sand you just help yourself. There was no noise during the night which gave us a good night's sleep. Breakfast was cooked to order each morning and there was plenty of it. Having the car parked in a secure place gave us peace of mind whilst we explored Cirencester on foot. The location of the accommodation gave us a good base to explore the surrounding area.||I highly recommend...
Read moreQuiet simply don't come here. It's part of mitsubishi and is not tailored for guests. The staff are ridiculously rude unless you are of power at mitsubishi, then the fake smiles come out. There is no hotel standards such as 24 hour reception, evening bar or a simple vending machine. You have the workers from the depot behind coming in and out using toilets and beverages when the evening food runs which is 6:30 to 7:50 pm.. that's it. As for the rooms they are ridiculously warm, the thermostat on the wall is irrelevant. The beds/mattress super soft and super used, you can easily tell by the fact they are indented. The food is Meh, undercooked breakfast and evening meals have spent a few minutes in a microwave. This was wrote at 4:20am due to the whine and drumming of the electrical system by someone who has not slept in 2 days. So much for my...
