Find Hostels in Gloucester

Having read the reviews on here I had a vague idea of what to expect and wasn't looking forward to it.... how wrong I was to trust some of these reviews! Yes it's in a bit of a rough and ready area and there are some shady characters hanging around in the evening... however don't bother them and they don't bother you. Parking is as advertised out front and space for about 3 cars but I believe you can park outside no 74 too. The building itself is very clean and tidy once inside albeit a little dated in places. I didn't use the breakfast included with my room as had other plans but I did check out the breakfast/kitchen area and was very impressed at how clean and modern it was and how many seats were available overlooking a well kept garden. I had room 205 at the very top of the property overlooking the street and found it to be very clean. Nice clean bedding and towels provided as well as tea and coffee facilities although I was missing a spoon which was a bit annoying but I didn't let it ruin my day like some would. The bathroom was clean and had enough toilet roll for my stay, the shower did have a bit of the beading hanging off at the bottom and a bit of mould around the edges but it's not the end of the world and I survived. The sink provided very hot water from the hot tap but the cold tap did turn when I used it which was comical however it still worked as it should, i have mentioned it in the review to the hotel as I didn't see any of the owners whilst there. Would I stay again... probably not as I don't plan on going back to Gloucester anytime soon but if I were to go back I certainly would consider it as the room was almost 50% cheaper than alternatives in the same area! Oh and if you're over 16 and have a driving licence there are a few VOI scooter parking areas nearby which are a great way to get around for 17p per minute!!

Sitting by an open fire on a cold Sunday afternoon we knew we were in for a treat as the aroma of the carvery reached us. We had been welcomed by Kaz and Steve earlier and settled down. The Linden Tree has a traditional decor and quiz nights and pool tournaments are organised. There is a skittle alley too. The food is always tasty and fresh and I especially enjoy the Sunday lunch which has a good choice of meats and vegetables and is amazing value. I recommend adding more roast potatoes than you think you'll eat....they're so tasty you'll soon polish them off!
