“The Mooring Post benefits from its riverside location and adjacency to The Lock Keepers restaurant, a clear advantage. While some rooms offer unique designs and private gardens, reports of inconsistent maintenance temper expectations. The Mooring Post has potential as a family-friendly base for exploring Gloucester and the Forest of Dean, but needs improvements.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Mooring Post offers spacious and clean rooms, some featuring jacuzzi baths and Nespresso machines, providing good value for many guests. Its location is convenient for exploring Gloucester Quays, though it's a 40-minute walk, plus it is set near the River Severn and Over Canal Basin, offering pleasant surroundings. There is a pub/bar that serves food, but it closes early. While most find the rooms appealing, a few guests have occasionally noted outdated elements, like cracked bathroom tiles, in some rooms.

early check-inon-site parkingguinness pintbar closuretea shortagecoffee pods
The staff accommodated my early check-in. This service was very useful. There was plenty of on-site parking available. I had a great pint of Guinness in the bar.
The restaurant and bar were not open one night. My tea and coffee supplies were not replenished that night. There were no coffee pods for the machine, just tea bags.

maintenance issuesincluded breakfast
the room had a problem with the water (i think). we were told we could not use the bath . my son also got an electric shock from the water, because they had maintenance issues (unbelievable!). i think we should have received a discount, because the facilities were not as described. i am unsure it was completely safe. breakfast should be included considering the prices charged.
