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.

Has great potential, but fails to deliver

This place appears to be very popular, a great looking place from the outside with great views. When we arrived there was no one at reception, which was expected as the booking stated there was no reception despite there being one. We went to the bar area where the youngster behind the bar said he would get his manager to check us in up at reception, so we returned there and didn't have to wait long for his arrival, this process was straight forward and it wasn't long before we went to our room. The room was ok, pretty much as you would expect from a standard double. We had a table booked so went back to the bar area to be seated. Again we were greeted by a youngster who showed us to our table where he asked for our drinks order. We noticed at the bar that there was a 0% beer on draft so we asked for a pint of that, only to be told that they don't do 0% on draft. I corrected the youngster and we duly received our drinks and had our food order taken. After waiting some time the young lad who took our order returned and said "sorry there appears to have been some confusion, have you had your starter yet?" as all of our cutlery was still on the table clearly we hadn't! When the starters did arrive one of them was wrong and at one point we had 3 starters on the table. Rest of the meal was ok, although the fondant was a failure. Glasses on the table were disgusting, which makes you wonder about the ones behind the bar. Would type more but not enough room!

The Rising Sun by Greene King Inns

First time stayed here, nice place, friendly staff, food was great, view of the sunset great.

Disappointing

For the price we paid we were very disappointed with our room, although the pub and restaurant seemed nice enough. On a positive note the room seemed clean, and the bed was comfortable. Other than that, however, the room was very basic and very hot. There was no drawer space; walls were bare; no provision for bags; the hot water tap was dangerously hot so could not be used and the cold tap sprayed water everywhere. The stack of cardboard boxes outside our window and the filthy road sign were not an attractive addition to the otherwise great view! It was good to be able to open the window a little, but the heated towel rail could not be turned off which made it impossible to cool the room to a comfortable temperature, even with the fan provided. We understand that prices in this area are higher than elsewhere, but we felt this stay was very poor value for the price charged. We would not choose to stay here again.

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

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.

By far one of the worst

This is by far one of the worst hotels i have stopped in. Check in was very abrupt. Got to room, toilet hadnt been cleaned and had faeces marks up both sides of the toilet. Room smellled very damp and had brown marks all over the carpet. Freezing cold, asked.for a portable heater and they didnt have one. Slept in my clothes and hat as was so cold. Beds very uncomfortable and one had a choc under it to stop it rolling about as the room was very uneven. Not very good for someone not good with balance!Massive dog roaming the hotel! Bags of rubbish left outside three rooms all the time we were there. Will definitely not be returning. Didnt have breakfast so cant comment on the restaurant
