The Bocardo Hotel

“Does the job”

The place was spotless and practical, showers were excellent, and the fridge, tea, and coffee were a real bonus. The room felt a bit cramped for two people, and the price seemed a touch high for what we got.

“Perfect”

Everything was flawless—nothing to complain about.

“Not very good value for money at £218 per night in my opinion”

We arrived to a room with a noticeable odor, likely from a drain, and the carpet had a large stain. Housekeeping opened the window and turned on the A/C, which helped. There was no breakfast offered at the hotel.

“Great value for excellent position, a place with character”

The room was lovely and located right next to Gloucester Green bus station, a short walk from High Street and the Corn Market area. It matched the description, if not better, and I was very pleased. The spacious bathroom, walk‑in closet, fridge, and air‑con were fantastic features. Being an older building, it has a bit of patina and character that might not appeal to everyone. The staff were extremely helpful and communicative about check‑in and check‑out. I would definitely recommend it. The central location means there are a few bars nearby; if you want a quiet stay you might be disappointed, but the general nightlife hum didn’t disturb me. I woke up at 5.30am to the sound of bins being emptied—it's a busy place and those services happen at some point. Echoing previous reviews, there is a steep flight of stairs to reception since the hotel sits above shops and restaurants; the stairs have a halfway landing to catch your breath, and the staff were very helpful with my suitcase.

The facilities were acceptable and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The air‑con was there, but it could not be set lower and blew straight onto the bed, making it impossible to use—either you froze and got a headache or you got too hot. The staff were quick to respond and friendly. The windows were fixed; some could not open at all, others only a crack onto an internal courtyard, making the room feel stuffy and airless unless you used the air‑con. The room looked a little shabby: hooks were missing from the walls so there was nowhere to hang a towel or put a loo roll, the carpet had stains, etc. Noise from neighboring builders/workmen could be heard through the bathroom ventilation.
