Great stay

This hotel is in the perfect location to explore Bath. The staff are incredibly helpful and polite and we loved our stay here as a family. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, but this did not impact on our stay at all. The bar area is really welcoming and breakfast was delicious. Great stay

We’ve stayed here several times.p and always been very happy. Our room was recently updated and was very good, the building work was ongoing, but didn’t disturb us. It did mean the small car park was closed, but public parking is within a few minutes walk.

Our newly renovated room was amazing, but it was super difficult to come and go. The construction workers lectured us about walking down the hallway to our room. We had to arrive and exit through the back alley way through a construction zone. We even had to carry out our luggage through the back alley way when we left. The construction workers would wake us up at 6:00 a.m. banging right outside our room. It was awful. I understand and appreciate remodeling, but I don’t want to pay to be in the middle of it!
