Best time
I stayed here for my birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal. The breakfast was the best I’ve ever had, and the staff could not help you enough! The Spa facilities are small but never busy and exquisite. I left feeling like a new person- thank you so much!

The stairs were stained and dirty throughout the building. The bathroom was also dirty. The bed was really droopy in the middle and also very bouncy every time you moved on it. The rooms are located on a busy street with people Shouting outside until 2.30am. You have to pay EXTRA £70 per person to use the on site Spa facilities at a normal time. Which is a Bit of a Con after paying £350/night for a room identical to a Premier Inn room…

Amazing 7-night stay at this hotel which provides real 5-star service in all respects. Special shout out to all the concierge and reception staff, who were always incredibly responsive. Also the nice and polite drivers they use especially David who saved us! Our room was wonderful. After a bad stay in London was so nice to get that warm, happy English hotel feeling again. Loved it and very absolutely strongest recommendation (if you read my hotel reviews they are not always positive)…..

Nothing like this place. The baths are incredible.
Old school unique hotel. note, NO parking, and if you have a car, finding you way around the tiny one way Bath city streets to park your car in some random lot is challenging! Especially as the GPS doesnt work so well there. But. There's nothing like this place anywhere. Oh and another thing, the cooked English breakfast was 40 pounds, and easily the worst I have eaten for a while. Go out into the city for that!
