The New Inn

Ok. Cheap room, fine. Cheap beer, fine. Food menu? Awful. Proper awful. Customer service? Rather hostile!
Ordered food to find that half of the limited menu is unavailable and on re-​ordering a refund on the varying price was not given.
I’d only return here for a beer and a bed, as long as you put a rail on one side to stop yourself from rolling out.
Nice for a visit for a tourist, but for anything else, AVOID

Stayed overnight for a business meeting and arrived late in the evening.
The centre of Gloucester on a wet and windy night is not the best place to be, although the New Inn does its best to compensate.
The room did not have a single level surface; floors, walls, ceilings, anything! Fairly difficult to negotiate and even more difficult to find; the signs were not all up due to a refurb. Rooms are functional and show their age, but are very well-​priced, and the copious full-​English breakfast was excellent.
Not the greatest place I have ever stayed in but it has character and is seriously good value for the centre of town.

One Of Gloucester’s most historical places and I don’t think any of the furnishings have been renewed since it was built. The staff are alright I guess, but I got the feeling it was now drink up and get out kinda vibe, but that may have just been me as my mate didn’t say anything. They serve all the usual plus coffee (which is what we had) and for the price we paid for the coffee we might as well gone to starbucks around the corner and drunk coffee in a nicer place.
The food is also a bit hit and miss as a couple of meals were sent back whilst we were there.
According to Camra site it’s just been removed from the lists due to poor beer quality.
Such a pity as it is a tourist hotspot and could be so much better.
Be advised.

Ah, the British. If they’re not hoarding all the history with the rest of Europe, they’re displaying their wit. The «New Inn» has been around since roughly 1430, and is reputed to have been frequented by Shakespeare, if you into that sort of thing. Me, I’m into giant, black-​wood columns and crossbeams that are literally two feet by two feet.
The New Inn is in the heart of beautiful old Gloucester, in an area where cars are (mostly) forbidden. So make sure you have some comfortable shoes to enjoy the neighborhood, which is should be explored. There are plenty of nearby shops and restaurants, and a fantastic old church, the Gloucester Cathedral (but that’s a different review).
While staying at the New Inn, make sure that you visit the attached pub. I wasn’t a fan of beer at the time, so I can’t tell you anything about what they served, but it is warm, welcoming, and attractive. Just be warned: do not expect all the comforts of home at the Inn, such as level floors or straight walls. You’re going here for the charm and history. And the fact that it’s very affordable. But mostly, because the place has been around longer that there were Caucasians in North America, and speaking as one of those North American Caucasians, that’s pretty damned cool.
