Lovely stay, staff really make it, they do everything for you to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. Ideal location just opposite to Bath Spa station, close to roman baths, bath Abbey, all the shops etc. Hotel has a lot of history so does have creaky floors and you can hear some movement from others but was all ok for us. Great breakfast, full English and continental. Large walk in shower but did take some time to warm up, but when did the pressure was good. Tea and coffee facilities in room and replenished everyday, with biscuits too. Small lift but only small hotel anyway so is OK. Really enjoyed stay, think ideal for any visitors to bath. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

From the moment we checked the staff were excellent and super friendly. Check in was simple and the onsite car park was great too however very limited on spaces. The man on reception was outstanding (I didn’t catch his name) The room was super clean and very spacious as hotel rooms go. 10/10 would recommend

I was travelling on my own and found all the staff incredibly friendly and helpful. My room was spotless, with very good quality bedding and a comfy mattress. I didn’t have breakfast, so can’t rate that. I had dinner in the Brasserie and thought it excellent value. Would definitely stay this hotel again.

The staff are amazing and the breakfast was a surprising delight. My biggest issue was the need for the rooms to be better. The beds had serious stains on the mattress that had me thinking there had been a murder scene in there. The sheets were clean enough but I always pull back the sheets to check for bed bugs and was horrified. It definitely had seen better days. The mattress was also flattened. I like a hard bed but I don’t like to feel the springs. I’m sure the staff would have accommodated, but honestly it just seemed like the hotel had seen better days. They do a great job of trying to make it nicer, but management or the owner need to buy new beds and remodel.

The staff were very nice and had no issues with them, the surrounding area was great, plenty of shops and things to explore. The Hotel needs a fair amount of work to bring it up, the room although clean needs redecorating, scuffed torn wallpaper, chipped furniture, cracked tiles are not a good look. The room is next to the town centre but it was very noisy so we hardly slept, two beds were pushed together and they were very uncomfortable, one dipped to one side when you laid on it. The food was nice but the restaurant needs decorating as well, damp on the ceiling and down the wall, tables and chairs are scuffed, carpet not great, this is no reflection on the waiting staff as they were very nice and professional. The scrambled eggs at breakfast were like rubber, no care taken to cook those, poached eggs were fine though. The hotel has a lot of competition around it so it needs to up it's game to get returning customers.

We had a lovely stay. Very convenient, as it’s cross the road from the train station, also it’s very central. the staff couldn’t do enough for you, they went out of their way to make sure you had a good stay. The bedrooms are a little tired so could do with a little TLC. Would happily stay here again.
