Budget Hotels in Cheltenham

Budget HotelLet’s face it, Cheltenham is a beautiful area and a popular one at that, so even the budget hotels can be on the pricier side. Many of the hotels listed below, which would not necessarily be considered a “budget” option, have been included here, as they may offer one or two rooms for a more reasonable price under £80. This is fairly “cheap” for Cheltenham.

If you are visiting Cheltenham during peak seasons, such as the period during the Cheltenham Festival or one of the other famous festivals involving food & drink, jazz, literature, music or science – prices are bound to be much higher given the high demand and amount of people trying to book. It is strongly advised, if not absolutely essential, that you book your rooms well in advance of these events. If you leave it too late, you’ll end up having to stay well on the outskirts of town in neighbouring villages and towns.
