Amazing hotel, beautiful rooms and reception/bar staff were so friendly. However the breakfast was not great at all and found the staff doing this service not as friendly/welcoming. The hotel itself is going through a refurb so the stairs/communal areas were out of action.

Room spotless, tea & coffee options but no hot chocolate. Building still being renovated so no lift available and I was in the 3rd floor. But staff very helpful and did try to see if there was another room available but to no avail was a busy weekend in Bath. Staff carried my luggage up to my room and back down when I left. Breakfast was very nice. Would stay again.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. The desk staff and the doormen were all fabulous. The lift wasn’t working but we were okay taking the stairs. I wouldn’t recommend breakfast as there are cheaper and better options nearby. The breakfast staff seemed very disorganized when we were there. Just a heads up that there is a discretionary gratuity mentioned at checkout. I wish I had known in advance as it caught me off guard.

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

We’ve stayed here several times.p and always been very happy. Our room was recently updated and was very good, the building work was ongoing, but didn’t disturb us. It did mean the small car park was closed, but public parking is within a few minutes walk.

Fabulous hotel

Part of the hotel was under renovation, so we had to do a detour out of the building to our room, however the staff walked us to the room and it was lovely. Spacious, a radio was playing gently on arrival providing a great ambiance. Mini bar with soft drinks was complimentary. Location was perfect also.
