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.

Pleasant experience in near perfect location

Very close to city centre and across from the train and bus stations. Breakfast very good with plenty of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Single room had space for table and chair. Coffee, tea water and biscuits provided in the room. Has a bar lounge.It is an old building so some damage noticeable.

We were very delighted and surprised with the size, comfort, furnishings and decorations of of our room. King bed was a nice break from the Queen in London. Bath. Staff ver friendly and helpful. Right across the street from the train station, and easy block walk from the bus depot. All kinds of nearby restaurants, shopping and sights like the Roman baths and river. We had a very nice breakfast in restaurant on the ground floor of the Royal. Had supper in the comfy little pub there too. No complaints, just right for our short stay to see Bath.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property is close to city, bus and train stations. It is an old property so there is a lot of road noise even when the windows are closed. The floors are very squeaky and noise from the hallways also makes it into the room. There is no air con so at night when the windows are closed (to stop the road noise) it gets very hot. A fan is supplied. We booked a car park and arrived early evening and there was only one park available and it was very difficult to get into. Glad we had a small car.
