Tourist hostel accommodation and conferencing facilities in the heart of Cheltenham

Dear Number 6 Customer,

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been actively following the Government`s advice to see when we will be able to reopen. According to the latest Government guidelines the hospitality industry in England was able to reopen on 4th July 2020. However, even though we are very keen to welcome guests back, the nature of our business as a Hostel accommodation of dormitories and shared facilitates are still not allowing it and we should still remain closed. Therefore, at this stage we are still going to be closed in August 2020 and at the moment we are not taking bookings for future dates either. In addition, our conferencing facilities will remain closed too, until further notice.

We are in a very fluid situation, the Government`s advice and guidelines are changing on a weekly basis, we are working hard to review and incorporate them to ensure that we can reopen when we can provide safety to all our stakeholders, we will keep updating our website to inform you about what we are doing and we are also available by phone or email if you have any enquire.

Overview

Situated in the heart of Cheltenham, our charming Regency villa is the ideal accommodation choice for anyone looking for an affordable stay in this beautiful spa town.

We welcome both short stay and long-term guests, making us a great home for those on short breaks, such as those who want to enjoy any of Cheltenham’s fine festivals or who are visiting at any other time of the year (tourists, backpackers, cyclists, ramblers) or for those in need of longer stays, such as internships, work placements and students.

No two rooms are the same, which is great because we can offer something that can suit everyone. We can even cater for large groups in our two dormitory rooms.

Number 6 is located just a 5 minute walk from the High Street, Town Hall and Theatres, providing our guests with plenty of choice for shopping, entertainment and dining out. It also means that public transport is close at hand making the beautiful surrounding Cotswold countryside, villages and towns easily accessible.

In addition to accommodation, Number 6 has conference and meeting rooms for hire.

The convenient location, great facilities and friendly staff make it a perfect destination whatever the need.

Number 6 is part of YMCA Cheltenham and provides income to support YMCA’s various charitable works across Gloucestershire. These include providing safe and secure accommodation for homeless and vulnerable people, sports and exercise at our own Sports Centre, aswell as children and family work. YMCA Cheltenham is a local charity providing for local communities in both Cheltenham and Gloucester.

Bookings can be made here.

Conferencing

In addition to conveniently located accommodation, Number 6 also offers meeting rooms for hire.

The Conference Room is beautifully decorated in keeping with the Georgian ambience of the villa making it a great space to discuss business, host meetings or social gatherings. The special atmosphere helps to promote “out of the box” thinking, whilst its warm tranquillity makes it ideal for those more intimate 1-2-1 or small group meetings. Depending on the layout, we can accommodate anything from two people to 80 people.

The Lecture Room is a large, wooden-floored space making it very versatile in its use. Rich in character, the room has an attractive fireplace at each end and is the perfect venue for anything from group meetings to exercise classes.

The Quiet Place is situated just off the main reception area and was previously the YMCA Chapel. It still contains some of the Chapel features and its name reflects its previous use. It is a small meeting room with carpeted floor and glass doors (vertical blinds ensure privacy if required).

We would be pleased to provide refreshments and tasty buffets to suit your requirements at an additional cost. Please contact our team for full details.

Full details of all our conferencing options are included here.

Accessibility: We have a lift which ensures that all of our meeting rooms can be accessed by users of both wheelchairs and some small mobility scooters. Our toilets, including a separate disabled facility, are situated on the first floor, again easily accessible via our lift. Should you need to use the lift, please speak to a member of staff who will be happy to help.
