“I think this historic building, once owned by the Duke of Wellington, retains a certain charm, enhanced by its setting in a leafy square. Its position offers an easy stroll into Cheltenham, yet with parking included, the Joules Cafe, Bar & Restaurant provides a welcome culinary alternative. I noted the property has stylish lounge areas and a commitment to a comprehensive breakfast, making it ideal for both couples and families.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Clarence Court Hotel is often described as a beautiful, historic building located in a quiet square, just a few minutes' walk from Cheltenham's town centre, with a lovely little park opposite. Many guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, some offering great views, and the convenience of having a restaurant, Forty5 the Square, on site with a good evening menu. The full English breakfast is another highlight, although a few guests have mentioned that the interior décor appears a little tired. Conveniently, the hotel also offers free car parking, making it great value for money.

i found the breakfast staff attentive and efficient. they remembered my preferences from the previous day. parking was available despite a busy weekend. the nearby ncp car park provided an alternative option.
the room looked slightly dated and could benefit from some redecorating, but that wasn't a big issue

scalding showersteep stairs
I was quite disappointed with a few aspects. The absence of a lift posed a significant inconvenience, especially considering our room was on the third floor. Carrying luggage up those stairs was not fun. The shower temperature was difficult to adjust, it seemed stuck on a scalding setting. I wish it was easier to get it to a comfortable level.

Wonderful Stay at Quiet Spot

helpful staffconvenient locationinconvenient toilet seat
The staff greeted me warmly upon arrival and remained helpful throughout my stay. This. I appreciated the hotel's proximity to the town center, a short walk provided access to many shops.
The toilet seat in my room would not stay up without being held. This was inconvenient. the front steps were high. They posed a small challenge for me to navigate without assistance.
