This hotel has found a new regular guest in me. Exceptional experience from start to finish. Despite being an extremely frequent traveller, I am appalling at writing up reviews however I had to write one for this stay. Now, I have stayed at the hotel before - however I was heavily pregnant and so not able to fully make the most of my visit. This time however, I was here and ready to enjoy! The service? 5/5. The spa? 5/5. The room? 5/5. Location? 5/5. Thad a great time, and am intending to book in monthly stays for my wellbeing. If you are lucky enough to be able to, why not? A shoutout to Chris in the bar who made my evenings just that little bit better. The whole team are clearly trained very well, and are here to make your stay relaxing, and easy. The service is perfect; thoughtful without being intrusive. I had a wonderful time - thank you.

While the location of the hotel was excellent, we were quite disappointed with the room we were allocated on the ground floor near the street. The noise from workers early in the morning and people returning from nearby pubs at around 3am resulted in very disturbed sleep across our stay. Considering the price we paid, this was well below expectations and negatively affected our overall experience. In the future, we would recommend allocating quieter rooms away from the street for guests, or providing clearer options for room selection when booking.

The perfect hotel for couples.

We are very fortunate to have found this hotel in Bath England. From the moment we arrived until the minute we left the hotel staff, services, cleanliness and spa kept us smiling. I highly recommend this hotel for couples looking to find the perfect hotel in Bath. We stayed in the executive room and had plenty of space for our suitcases + lots of closet and storage space. The only negative I found with the room it has a bathtub that you must step into that is a couple feet off the ground. I would not recommend this room if you are not comfortable stepping in and out of a high tub in a tight space. Hotel customers get access included with their stay to the mineral bath spa every morning for a couple hours in every evening from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. I highly recommend anybody staying at this hotel take advantage of the beautiful spa each day. We did not order any food but visited the bar one night and got exceptional service from the bartender. The hotel is centrally located and only a 5 to 10 minute walk from the train station. We would definitely stay here again should we choose to return to Bath.
