The service at the Ayrlington was wonderful, the receptionists were super helpful and seemed genuinely happy to help. The room was large and the communal areas are well kept. We also particularly liked our bathroom. I would say however that the hotel is not the usual 5*. This rating appears to be several years old. We were disappointed with a couple of decorative things, like bleach stains on the accent chairs and paint missing from the dressing table. We’d also recommend replacing the pillows, as they are incredibly flat. All that said, this was still a comfortable stay and very good value for money in beautiful Bath.

Every thing about the hotel was okay except for the room and especially the bathroom. Unable to open the window in there as a notice on it said “Do not open, awaiting repair” but looking at the state of it it been awaiting some time. Also the sink plug did not hold any water and the tap was faulty to the point it was dangerousand even though we reported it nothing was done about it. Considering the price we paid it was not good value, but I guess that’s the Bath effect.

Pleasan, convenient, old world charm (a bit faded)

Pretty place that's a short, pleasant walk from the center of Bath. Large room and bathroom, big windows with nice gardens and view, although a little less 4 star than expected. Rooms could use some painting and upgrading; they are a little faded right now. Felt a little pricey for what it was.

In general good but not sure about 5*

Nice place. Easy enough to walk to centre. Room at front very noisy with traffic. At back would probably be ok. Few things that I felt didn’t live up to its 5* for example curtain hanging off rail, shower hose leaking too badly to use (rain did work), taps wrong way round (hot=cold etc) Minor points. Really didn’t like being automatically charged on my card for breakfast before we had even left our room to go to breakfast room!! Should be charged after breakfast IMO as normal after any dining experience. I didn’t give permission to charge my card before an event! Improper use of my card

Comfortable and conveniently located hotel

We booked the Grand Suite which was beautiful and comfortable with our own access to a private garden. Bianca at the reception was most courteous, helpful and friendly - she even helped us carry our luggage from the car. The hotel is in a great location with walking distance to the city center. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciate Bianca’s hospitality. Will definitely recommend to friends visiting Bath.

Loved Staying Here!

We loved staying at this property. It was so convenient to walk into the city and there was ample parking. Staff were extremely friendly and we enjoyed a nightcap in the lounge every night. Our room was gorgeous and had lovely views, but could do with a deep clean of walls and carpets. The bathroom was huge! The bed was extremely comfortable.

Our stay at The Ayrlington was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm and welcoming, the room was beautifully appointed with classic charm and modern comforts, and the location offered stunning views and easy access to the heart of Bath. The tranquil garden and peaceful atmosphere made it feel like a true escape. The only slight letdown was breakfast — while the quality was good, clearer communication from the serving staff would have made the experience even better. Overall, a wonderful stay and highly recommended for anyone visiting Bath.
