Lovely and convenient hotel

Lovely people on reception during the day. Helpful to let her leave our bags on the first day before check in, recommended places to visit in Bath only was the Trout bookshop and then even though we can checked out on our last day they let us leave our bags again.

Stayed 29th March '25

Booked a Deluxe Double Room for 1 night (Saturday). We were allocated a corner room on the 4th floor over looking St Marys Street and Custom House Street. The room and bathroom were clean and both very good sizes. We had complementary water, tea / coffe and very randomly 1 can of fizz and 1 two finger KitKat! The downside of the room, the windows did not shut properly therefore didn’t have a good sleep due to the nighttime economy and the amount of noise coming from the venues / streets. The air condition automatically turned off at midnight due to the hotels sustainability programme therefore the room was very hot and unbearable. Overall, given the price we paid for the room we were disappointed with not having a good nights sleep.
