Disappointed
I made a reservation at the Francis Hotel, Bath through hotels.com to celebrate a wedding anniversary on the 28th December 2023, for a cost of £219. Unfortunately, my wife and I both came down with COVID shortly before our stay and decided to be safe and not attend. I contacted the Francis Hotel on the 26th December 2023 to inform them that we could not attend, requesting either a refund or change of date. The reception staff informed me that as the reservation was made through a third party (Hotels.com), there was nothing they could do, and encouraged me to contact Hotels.com direct. I subsequently contacted Hotels.com, who informed me that the decision on a refund or change of dates lies with the Francis Hotel, and not them. Confused as to who I should contact, I again emailed the Francis Hotel requesting a refund or change of date to the booking but have heard nothing in reply. Disappointed that neither hotels.com or the Francis Hotel can assist in this matter.

Excellent staff but tired old rooms. I've never changed rooms in my life before but had to change twice for a one night stay. Reiterate that the staff were very helpful with this and indeed upgraded my room and comped me a glass of wine

Overpriced Travel Lodge
Came for New Year’s Eve, only one barman on, he said he couldn’t do a mojito cocktail as had no mint for four days, could no one have gone to a local shop to get some? No atmosphere in hotel despite being New Year. Very noisy outside our bedroom from various noises, very expensive for what it was and breakfast not even included!! Also, we found a needle in the car park which when we arrived set the tone for not a great stay. Tables on bar had no mats so were very sticky from where drinks had been sitting, also, a £20 parking charge for what was already a very overpriced stay.

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful, friendly and convenient hotel. Centred in the middle of Bath we were right where we needed to be. The only negative is the pricey parking…. A shame we had to pay so much to keep our car in site.
