What is serviced accommodation in Gloucester?
Serviced accommodation in Gloucester is a private, fully furnished home that you book like a hotel, but live in like a flat or house. You get your own front door, a kitchen and a living room, rather than a single room off a corridor.
Every Esho Stays home in Gloucester includes the basics in the nightly price:
- Fast Wi-Fi and a smart TV
- All utilities and bills, with no meters to top up
- Fresh linen and towels
- An equipped kitchen with dining space
- Self check-in from 3pm, check-out by 10am
- Support from our team on WhatsApp during the stay
Longer stays also get weekly or fortnightly cleaning, agreed when you book.
How much does serviced accommodation in Gloucester cost?
Serviced accommodation in Gloucester costs from £80 to £195 a night for a whole Esho Stays home. Prices depend on the size of the home, the dates and how long you stay.

Who uses serviced accommodation in Gloucester?
Most guests in our Gloucester homes fall into four groups: people working in the city, hospital staff, families between homes and visitors on a break.
Contractors and project teams
Crews on King’s Quarter, the Docks or sites off the M5 book a whole house so everyone has a bed, a kitchen and parking.
NHS and healthcare staff
Gloucestershire Royal Hospital is on Great Western Road. Several of our homes are close by, which suits placements and shift work.
Families between homes
Relocations, house sales that fall through and insurance claims all need a furnished home for weeks rather than nights.
Visitors and weekend breaks
The cathedral, the Docks and Gloucester Rugby at Kingsholm bring visitors who want more space than a hotel room.
Where are the Esho Stays homes in Gloucester?

| Gloucestershire Royal Hospital | Station subway to Great Western Road | 5 to 10 minutes |
| Gloucester Docks | Walk via Southgate Street | 10 to 15 minutes |
| Kingsholm Stadium | Walk north via Black Dog Way | 10 to 15 minutes |

Is serviced accommodation better than a hotel in Gloucester?
Serviced accommodation is better than a hotel in Gloucester for stays of three nights or more, and for any group that would need more than one hotel room. A hotel is simpler for one person on a one-night visit.
The difference shows up after a couple of days. You can cook instead of eating out every night, wash clothes, spread out in a living room and park outside. Families keep children in the same home rather than across connecting rooms.
If you are booking for a crew, our guide to contractor accommodation versus hotels sets out the costs in detail.
Local tips from our Gloucester team
Visit the cathedral on a weekdayGloucester Cathedral is open 10am to 5pm on weekdays, with shorter hours at weekends. Entry is by voluntary donation. Check the cathedral visit page before you go.
Use the station subwayFrom the station, the pedestrian subway under the tracks brings you out on Great Western Road, beside the hospital.
Check car park heightsSeveral city centre car parks have height limits under 2 metres. If you bring a van or roof box, park at the home instead.
Book directBooking with us direct avoids platform fees and gives you one contact for changes and extensions.

Frequently asked questions
Can I book serviced accommodation in Gloucester for one night?
Often yes, depending on the home and the dates. Minimum stays vary and show when you check availability. For a single night, call or message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you which Gloucester homes are free. Most of our guests stay from three nights to several months.
Is parking included with serviced accommodation in Gloucester?
Yes, at every Esho Stays home in Gloucester. Four homes have a drive or an allocated space, and the one-bedroom annex uses on-street parking with a permit we arrange once you send the vehicle registration. Tell us if you have more than one car so we can confirm it fits.
Are your Gloucester homes cleaned during the stay?
Every home is professionally cleaned before you arrive. On longer stays we add weekly or fortnightly cleaning with fresh linen and towels, agreed when you book. For shorter stays there is no mid-stay clean, but you have a washing machine and kitchen equipment to keep things tidy.
Do you offer discounts for longer stays in Gloucester?
Yes. Longer bookings usually get a better weekly or monthly rate than the nightly starting price on our website. Send us your dates, the number of guests and the home you are interested in, and we will reply with a written quote, usually the same day.
What happens if something is wrong when I arrive?
Our No Fuss First Night Guarantee covers your first night. If the cleanliness, heating or Wi-Fi is not as promised, we refund that night. Contact us straight away by phone or WhatsApp and we will work to put it right as quickly as possible.
