The staff there were soooooo amazing! Unfortunately, it was so hot and there was no air conditioning so the windows needed to be open and then it was so loud due to the people outside. I want to say again the staff were incredible!

Overall great stay and location was perfect! It took a while for the water in the shower to get hot, and the steam in the bathroom took a long time to dissipate. Air movement even with a window open was pretty stale, but the fan in the room helped. Very comfortable beds, and comfortable stay otherwise! Staff was fantastic, quick to help and answer questions!!

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.

The staff made the difference between being just another faceless hotel to a warm, welcome and memorable stay. Ok, the hotel could do with a bit of TLC but that was part of the charm. Everything was clean and comfortable and perfect for a night in Bath. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay, close to the train station and walking around Bath city. Staff were very helpful and quite professional. Breakfast was served and a great choice. Being close to the station meant some late night noise, but nothing to spoil the stay. Parking is available but limited. I would definitely recommend this hotel to you!
