I requested a late check-out (just one hour), but the negative response was delivered in a rather unfriendly, frosty manner — not what I would expect from a hotel of this standard. I travel frequently, and this experience with reception felt really below par. 21/09/25

Great reception and super helpful staff. They helped us get our luggage up to the room and very very communicative ahead of time about the lifts being temporarily out. Also gave us excellent advice for parking. Feels like we got an absolute steal staying here.

Great stay

This hotel is in the perfect location to explore Bath. The staff are incredibly helpful and polite and we loved our stay here as a family. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, but this did not impact on our stay at all. The bar area is really welcoming and breakfast was delicious. Great stay
