Best Hotels in Gloucester
Gloucester sits between the M5, the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean, and its hotels split between the city and the motorway. Here is how to choose.
The city centre and the docks
Staying in the centre or by the docks puts the cathedral, the Quays and the station within a short walk. It suits a trip by train.

Near the M5
The M5 runs east of the city, and hotels near its junctions have their own parking and an easy route to Bristol, Birmingham or Cheltenham. They suit a visitor who is driving.

The Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds
West of the city, the Forest of Dean has quieter places to stay among the trees, and the Cotswolds rise to the east. They suit someone who wants calm and does not mind the drive.

Questions to ask before booking
Is reception staffed late? Is there parking at the door? Can you have a quiet room away from the lift and the road? The answers say more than the photographs.

Arriving and leaving without fuss
Book in your own name, carry only what you need and let a friend know the address. The racing festival at Cheltenham in March fills rooms in Gloucester too. As everywhere on the site, this guide is for adults aged 18 and over.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The train takes around ten minutes, and rooms can be easier to find than in Cheltenham itself, though festival week still fills early.
