Absolutely disgusting place!
Had sticky floor, that NEEDS a clean, around the edge of the sides.
My bathroom had lots of dust, lime scale around the edge of the shower, dirty inside.
My bed was uncomfortable and made LOTS of noise every time I moved, the head board was disgusting, looks like someone splashed food over it.
Mold has been painted over on the walls.
Hairs on my light.
Looks like it was NOT cleaned before I came to stay.
Small TV, doesn't have all Freeview channels, or a DVD player.

This place offered adequate inexpensive (for the area) accomodation when I attended a wedding in the area. The rooms were basic but clean and were fine for the limited amount of time I spent in them. Breakfast was fine and so was the choice (and is provided at weekends despite what some other comments say.)

Clearly this is part of the Mitisubishi training facility so when you arrive you have to go through the main security gates. Don't let this put you off though, as the accommodation is off to one side and not part of the main complex.

The location is about 15 minutes walk into the town centre, and the Cotswolds are easily accessible by car.

If you're looking for basic reasonable accomodation to stay overnight then this is a good choice. I wouldn't stay here if you are planning to spend a lot of time in your room, or you're planning a special break.

Riverside House is described in their brochure as 'superb bed and breakfast for both private and corporate guests' . I would disagree. My description would be that it is a dated building at the end of a small road in an unattractive area of Cirencester which provides adequate accommodation for trainees on courses or conferences, and canteen facilities for them and the staff of the Mitsubishi headquarters on the same site (during the week only).

The room was small and the en-suite basic. The carpet was stained, the windows dripping with condensation which had dried to a black mess around the frames. When my husband moved the trouser press to use it, the dust on the carpet behind it was disgusting and had obviously not been cleaned in a long time. This led to us examining the cleanliness of the rest of the accommodation and it was dusty in all the harder to reach areas. When we complained to the manager he did inspect the room when we were out, and I think an attempt was made to clean it again, and the broken lampshade by the bed was replaced making it marginally better. He also left us a bottle of wine and an apology.

On the plus side, the room was warm, and the beds clean.

The main road opposite the room was noisy but it naturally became quieter at night but we also heard the huge distribution lorries making their way in and out of the secure car park at all hours. These lorries also park in the car park and carry on their business as usual. I think the drivers use the cafeteria and maybe stay overnight if they need to.

A big extractor fan on the wall below one of the rooms caused smells and noise.

The only welcome we received was from the very friendly and efficient security guard on the car park gate (who was a mine of local information). We walked into the empty and dark, closed cafeteria/canteen and saw no one else about, as we arrived on a Sunday afternoon. We were aware it would not be open but it 'set the scene' and did not impress.

The breakfast next morning was adequate but certainly did not offer the huge choice now common to other accommodation. Mary gave cheerful hospitality and did what she could for us including instructing us on how to make our own coffee in the machine! The bar was small and provided the basics only.

We did leave our car in the car park for the two nights and days we were there , safe in the knowledge that the security was good. There were not many other guests.The walk into town is about 15 minutes.

When we asked if our daughter could come into the cafeteria for her breakfast with us, there was no problem at all, but the cost seemed high compared to the quality given.

We booked this accommodation at the last minute, and paid £120 for the two nights bed and breakfast. Accommodation in Cirencester is generally expensive, and this seemed a more reasonable price to pay, but the rooms should still be clean. The paintwork in the corridors is badly chipped and scraped and the whole place needs a jolly good makeover!

I travel the country stopping in lots of hotels/b and bs. For cirencester, although ive not stayed anywhere else I would confidently return here the room was very clean the staff where very friendly and helpful the breakfast was perfect location is about 10-15 min walk from town center! Enjoy
