The staff was wonderful. Breakfast was very good. The bed was a little soft for my preference. And my shower was tiny. It was so convenient to the rail station and for walking around Bath.

The property is close to city, bus and train stations. It is an old property so there is a lot of road noise even when the windows are closed. The floors are very squeaky and noise from the hallways also makes it into the room. There is no air con so at night when the windows are closed (to stop the road noise) it gets very hot. A fan is supplied. We booked a car park and arrived early evening and there was only one park available and it was very difficult to get into. Glad we had a small car.

The hotel was in a very good location close to every thing, nice and clean, the special dinner was excellent and enjoyable. The room service was excellent as well along the staff. We wish they had air conditioning in the room also, staff at the front desk failed to give us day trip company information and we were truly unhappy about that.

Ok but extremely dated

The hotel is clean. The people were amazing. However, the property is extremely dated. I would highly recommend if you come to this property do not do it in the summer. They only offer a very small fan and the temperature in the room became unbearable. To the point we had to have the open fully opened which in itself wouldn’t normally be a problem apart from the entire colony of seagulls on the roof squawking throughout the night. We’ve resorted to putting wet towels on to cool us down. We felt like you cut the air with a knife.

Positives were: very conveniently situated. Friendly staff, good breakfast and evening meal. Less good was my room was very small with scarcely enough space for the single bed; would have liked the reception to be open before 8 am; more importantly felt that the hotel was in need of a general refurbishment. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

Está muy bien ubicado frente a la estación de trenes, buses y todo el comercio a un par de cuadras. El desayuno es personalizado y de excelente calidad. Las habitaciones limpias, cómodas y de buen tamaño. Lo mejor, el recepcionista Tim, una joya de persona (amable, encantador, amistoso y se toma el tiempo para . explicarte)….saludos desde Chile Tim!!

The weather was initially very hot and the hotel does not have air conditioning. An electric fan was provded and the windows opened, so it was possible to get relief. A source of ice for water and drinks would also help.These spurts of warmer weatherwill need some clever thinking and planningto maintain comfort for guests.

The room did not meet our expectation. The brown carpet was dirty and needs a good clean and the ‘hot water’ did not come on and we were told we had to keep the hot water from both the sink and shower on for 10 minutes before any hot water came out.
