Description
The Edward Hotel is a Grade II listed Victorian terraced hotel centrally located in beautiful historic Gloucester. Part of the hotel was built in 1796 and the rest in 1832, when Gloucester was a thriving inland port.
Strenghts of Edward Hotel are location, parking, location, private ownership, location and the balance struck between quality and value for money. Emphasis is upon accommodation rather than fine dining, and upon peace and quiet rather than late bars and parties.
All bedrooms at The Edward Hotel are ensuite, all have wi fi access, tea and coffee making, digital channels on flat screen TVs. At reception there is a computer workstation with printer webcam and skype free for guest use. In the lounge there is a 42" TV with DVD player, an open fireplace with log burning fire, complimented by a leather suite. The bar has an informal sociable atmosphere and is generally open till approx' 11.00pm. Guests can sit, even breakfast, in the pretty, well established garden.
Parking in Gloucester is difficult so our large car park is a real bonus. Guests may use it on morning of arrival and all day on day of departure. There is a locking area and garage for bicycles.
A short stroll passing some classic architecture leads to Gloucester city centre. From here the Cathedral, Guildhall, GL1, Gloucester Rugby Club, the Docks, Quays and museums are readily walkable. The Edward Hotel backs onto Gloucester Royal Hospital. To the north approx' 300m is Hillfield gardens another 300m walk leads to Gloucester University Oxstalls campus.
