    Excellent location — short walk to city centre! Parking on site was an added bonus, it took the stress out of trying to find somewhere. Room was lovely with good facilities! Staff very friendly upon arrival and at breakfast the next morning.

    Nothing really.

    The staff were so friendly, I felt immediately relaxed and comfortable. Loved the food in the restaurant and had a great Malbec that I will now be seeking to buy, now that I am home. The room and facilities were amazing, and as this was for my partner's birthday, she was suitably impressed.

    The bed could have been slightly softer (but my back is sensitive to hard beds so many would have found it comfortable). It's a lovely walk down to Bath but we definitely appreciated Uber to take us back up the very steep hill - that's just a recommendation for others though, not a complaint. Need better lighting in the bathroom - you can't do your makeup in there.

    Beautiful room, huge bathroom and very friendly staff. The area around is nice. Quiet room. Great shower.

    No takeaway breakfast option. I was leaving before breakfast started.

    Everything you could need. Parking for hotel guest only so you don't have to worry about if a space is available. A nice luxury feel and nice touches like the radio. I listened to it all evening and made a nice change. Had the best night's sleep away in a long time.

    Can't think of anything to improve. Everything was first class.

    We had an amazing time. The staff were so lovely. We are a couple with a young baby and they did everything so that we were comfortable. The room was very tastefully decorated, clean and the bathroom was large and first-class. Delicious and abundant breakfast and the lovely touch of making pancakes with no sugar or syrup for our son. We would definitely go back next time we're in Bath. We want to thank the staff for making our stay so special.

    No desk in my room to work at but sofa was nice. Lighting could be better in both bathroom and bedroom. Air con a bit tricky.

    Very welcoming and attentive staff. Great for a lone female travelling on business. Guaranteed parking for hotel residents was great. Pub and restaurant very lively .

    There was some noise in the morning, not sure where it came from. Could’ve been staff cleaning or other guests.

    Nothing, it was a 15 min walk to the town, and it’s at the top of a steep hill, so walking up the hill at the end of the day was a bit of a killer but worth it as lovely place to stay.

    Food was good, room was lovely, quiet and comfortable room lovely and clean.

    The only very small negative was that we had to wait for someone to come to reception and there wasn’t a way to get anyone’s attention.

    The room was lovely especially the en-suite! We could park our car past our check-out time which was great so we could go and explore more of Bath. Manager gave us some great tips on bars and restaurants to visit during our stay. The hotel bar and communal space was lovely too.
