Excellent all the way!

We were happy from the beginning until the end! We felt very welcome and were very happy throughout our stay. Our little ones were sad that they couldn’t go to the pool but they really enjoyed the room. The suite was perfect for my parents, our kids, my husband and I to share.

Wonderful stay

From check in to check out everything was wonderful. We arrived early so they looked after our bags which was then placed into our room before we arrived. We stayed in a suite with full mini fridge included. They also use designer miniture toiletries that are in the bathroom alongside bath robe and slippers. Tv allows you to connect with your phone to stream netflix etc. Access to the spa is available between 19:00-21:00 and 08:00-10:00 which is beautiful. Upon arriving back in the evening a downturn service was provided with bottled water provided by the bedside table ane pillow mist and lip balm. Check out also smooth a very delightful stay!

We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights, it doesn't feel like a 5* hotel: - I booked spa treatment, my only request was for an intensive, deep tissue massage, but the masseuse was just stroking my back for an hour for £195, for this price you expect a good massage at least. I was asked to fill the questionnaire first to mention expectations, well, it was either ignored or not read at all. I told this at the reception after and I was told the manager would contact me but nobody contacted us or mentioned it again. - we were waiting for our breakfast for more than 30 minutes, meanwhile there was no food left in the continental breakfast - no ham, cheese, or even a croissant, etc! There were empty plates. We were sitting and waiting for food and the food was just average, if you have a choice - don't buy the breakfast in the hotel, it's better to have it in one of the local cafes and it will be much tastier! - parking costs £45 pounds a day - I had to spend an hour working in the Canvas Room. I ordered tea, they brought me a used tea strainer with tea leaves in it. I had to ask for a clean one. Well, the room was nice. Overall it's a poor service and experience and really overpriced.

We warmly welcomed upon arrival. The gentleman who took our luggages to store before check in was very thorough in his suggestions on what to do for our 24 hour visit in the area. All the front staff were warm and that really made us want to come back to Bath.

A stunning hotel conveniently located in the heart of Bath. Quiet and luxurious, and a perfect escape for couples. The bedrooms are impeccably clean, very spacious, quiet and comfortable. The spa is free to access between 8-10 am and 7-9 pm. We used the spa at 7pm, as did most other residents, however it wasn't too busy and was a lovely space to unwind before dinner. The cocktail bar has a good selection of spirits and drinks, and the lounge is relaxing to to enjoy them in. Note hotel parking is £40/day (not £21 as per the advert); we paid for parking in Southgate which is safe and £18/24 hours (alternatively Park & Ride is £2/day). Overall this was a fantastic hotel and we would recommend and return.
