Rising Sun was perfect for our one night. We are at the tail end of a 30 day trip and chose Cheltenham because it was close to Sudely Castle and Gardens. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the bathroom was fine. Bar and restaurant were great and the views were INCREDIBLE. If back in the area I would stay again.
HIGHLY recommend this restaurant - food is fabulous and the staff was wonderful. The Coconut Tree

Key essentials are very good - hot strong shower, comfortable beds. Room decor is in need of some attention, but it is big site and understandably difficult to keep on top of. Not really an issue. Front facing rooms have great views, but road traffic can start early. Otherwise was very quiet. Would recommend.

Situated in a lovely location. It’s owned by a chain so I had the exact same menu as my previous nights stay. All in all it was very good. Clean, attentive staff.

Great views from the bar and garden, and perhaps some rooms though not ours as we were facing out the back. Rooms are clean and functional but nothing to write home about, with bathrooms not dissimilar to the toilets in a school 20 years ago. Nevertheless, a good night's rest and great location if you're playing golf and the nearby Cleeve Hill golf course.

We were pleasantly surprised at the Beautiful views. The dinner was good, and the lady that checked us into the hotel was very helpful. Yes it's an older building, but the rooms were clean. The room we were in did not have AC, but there was a fan. We were there in May so it wasn't real warm, so just be aware of that, if you are there in summer.

A warm welcome from the Reception lady, who quickly got me checked in and was very helpful. Comfortable room, plenty of space and room for hanging clothes up. Nice restaurant with lots of food and drink options, the waiting staff were friendly and efficient. Nice walks from the door.
