I stayed here in February and it was ghastly. There was an overpowering stench of sewerage in the room which, given the fact that there was one of those plug-in air-fresheners on when I got there, the staff must have been aware of. I arrived late so wasn't in a position to complain and spent one of the worst nights... More

Even if you are on a budget, spend an extra fifty quid and go somewhere else. I booked rooms for two weeks. In hindsight the first room was five star, even if the room stank of human excrement and the front door didn't lock. I thought that was bad enough until I went to a studio in the town center....

I think some of the reviews so far have been overly critical considering that everything they have complained about things that are mentioned on the booking website. We were a group of friends looking for a cheap nights stay for New Years Eve in a fairly central location. Considering what we paid (£35 each for two nights!) we feel this... More

Stayed here for a week over the Christmas/New Year period. We booked this hotel mainly due to price and location, however having read some of the reviews on here we were a bit skeptical, but as the title says don't believe all you read Central Studios could do with, at very least, a bigger sign out front, Gloucester Road itself...

Stayed at Central Studios Cheltenham for New Years Eve. Stayed with a friend, we searched hotels in Cheltenham online and found many were very expensive. We only wanted a room to store our stuff and sleep in for a couple of hours, so this hotel was ideal. Great location next to the railway station, was easy to find. Maybe a... More

Never stay here unless you are single, on a budget, don't mind bad customer service and don't mind bad smells. The place sinks of damp. Our room was tiny with a shower stuck in between the bed and the kitchen. Not a private shower but a clear glassed one for all to see so don't plan on sharing a room... More

The management and managing director have dealt with this guest directly. While we constantly ask for feedback to improve standards throughout, occasionally we come across a customer who chooses to complain for reasons unknown. The original complaint came when the guest first checked into the room, complaining that it was not up to their standard of accommodation. This had staff... More

Began with an intruder in my room at 2 am. Staff refused to acknowledge a security problem and implied I was lying. Was made to feel I was causing them a problem. Booked into 1 room but moved 4 times in 5 days. Was passified with promise to change locks but then told they were too busy to do so... More

We would hope that no guest feels that we are causing them a problem, and we did not feel on this occasion, that the guest was causing us a problem. We do not know how a guest has managed to enter the room, as all of our keys have to be specially made. We have changed the locks to this... More

Central Studios are not really studios. If you are planning to cook your own meals don't book it. There was only a microwave and 2 plates, bowls, cups, and sets of cutlery. There wasn't even a sharp knife. If you are from overseas also be warned that they might have trouble sending you the code for the door. Reception (wherever... More
