Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the city, making it ideal for exploring Bath. The rooms, though a bit small, are cozy and functional, suitable for a short concert visit to the nearby Bath Forum. While not completely soundproof, the ambiance is lovely, especially during Halloween, even with some extra noise. The service is excellent, with friendly staff and modern, clean rooms. However, a minor drawback was the lack of a smile from one staff member who seemed a bit out of place. The location is superb, right in the bustling city center, close to all the attractions Bath has to offer, with convenient parking nearby. The dining experience, though satisfactory, could use a bit more efficiency during peak times, yet the breakfast was delicious and reasonably priced. Overall, a great value for the money spent.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were really spacious, comfortable, and clean, with nice amenities provided, but lacked ventilation. The service was friendly and helpful, although some disturbances. The location was great for exploring Bath, but the noise level could be bothersome. The dining was decent, with good choices, but room for improvement in portion sizes. Overall, good value for the location and service provided.
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Bath, providing easy access to all the sights and attractions. The rooms, although small, offer a comfortable and airy atmosphere for a good night's sleep. The service at the cute wee bar was pleasant, even though there were some issues with closing times. The central location, while convenient, can be a bit noisy at times. The dining options were satisfactory, with plenty of other choices nearby. Overall, a great spot to stay for those wanting to explore the historic city.
