    We had a dog barking in the room next to us. Not sure if dogs are allowed in all rooms or just certain sections of the hotel.

    Ideally situated for sightseeing around Bath.

    I was shocked to find no hand grips for the shower / bath. It was positively dangerous getting in or out. My career was in elderly care and there are excellent looking quality products from companies like Drench which could be mounted to the left of the mural. After telling reception of my concerns I was told that others had mentioned it before. I’m amazed that there has not been a serious accident and suggests that no one in the hotel has responsibility for health and safety that covers the needs of your guests. Frankly you should be ashamed of yourselves. It’s obvious that you never get your own staff to spend a night or two in your rooms - particularly anyone over 60 - though a 25 year old could also fall. Go and spend a night where someone cares - maybe travel lodge or premier inn.

    They got it just right- very relaxing and meeting today’s needs in food and comfort. Other owners could have made it rather pompous

    Doors are very loud when closing, not the hotels fault as I know they have to be self closing for fire reg but other people staying arrived back at 4:00 in the morning and all you could hear were the doors open and closing and people being generally loud and inconsiderate. Not the hotels fault but did ruin our sleep

    Lovely big room with lots of light. Very clean and tidy. Breakfast was very good with lots on offer. A little pricey but unlimited so we ate our worth. Hotel has lots of history which is lovely to read about

    Doors were heavy so could hear them closing through the night in other rooms and there was no blind on the bathroom window which would of been nice but I'm having to nitpick!

    Lovely clean hotel in Bath centre. Bar was great and well stocked and staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Parking was a faff due to a road closure but again staff quickly offered a map to assist. Shower awesome!!

    At the time of our visit, road closures made car park access complicated. The email advising this beforehand could have been helped with a copy of the map that was then given to us as we checked in.

    The sound proofing could be improved; I could hear the couple in the bedroom next to ours speak when they were in the bathroom, I could hear every word. Although clean there were a few things that stood out such as a lot of dust on the stair railings, and also quite dirty window panels in my bedroom: there was a lot of black mould caused by condensation, a weekly damp flannel wipe would get rid of that and prevent the window panels from rotting.

    Very comfortable bed and great linen good size room Welcoming staff Excellent location clean

    I was charmed and delighted with exterior appearance of the hotel that exuded a powerful sense of 18th century Bath. However, the decorative style in the bedrooms was 'moderne' bordering on kitsch. Why oh why in a classic 18th century building was the chair, in front of a synthetic table, made of shiny black plastic? I had expected the hotel to reflect the delight of its period in appropriate furnishings. Bath attracts visitors because of its scintillating history not because of its attempts to keep up with the ever changing edicts of transient current fashion.

    See above…..

    I felt that things had changed a bit since our last stay there in Nov22 which had been exceptional. Surprised that we were charged service in the bar when we had three drinks in the first night. Also one of the rooms was booked through Booking.com and had been transferred from a booking which I had to cancel last July. When I booked the second room it was direct with the hotel in Nov/Dec. No one mentioned to me at the time that I could have booked both rooms that way and cancelled my booking.com reservation which was at a higher rate. I therefore ended up paying £70 more than was necessary , so would have appreciated being told this beforehand.
