Perfect location just across from the rail station and close to retaurants and attractions. The room was comfortable and clean. The staff was helpful and friendly. The hotel was built in the 1840s and you may need to run the tap for 2-3 minutes to get hot water for your shower.

This is quaint old hotel, very reasonably priced, so we weren't expecting modern luxury. It is super convenient for the railway station and close to all the things you want to see in the city. We wanted to drop our bags off early, and the desk staff could not have been more helpful, and he was very friendly for our whole visit. Our room was smaller than some of the other ones we saw, but fine for us. All in all, we were very happy with our choice.

The Pros Clean room, Comfy Bed Nice selection of beverages Nice dinner Good location The Cons Breakfast was mediocre Shower had mind of its own going from boiling to freezing Room very hot and stuffy, small fan not adequate for room size The location was good but there was alot of noise at night if you had windows open. No wardrobe in room No fridge Tv only had minimal freeview channels. No Internet channels and view was obscured from one side of bed. Although room info said morning papers were available this is not a service offered.

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.
