Lovely hotel and great staff. Good job we're not taller though since the ceilings are pretty low on the top floor.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in an excellent location, near Victoria Park, a very short walk to the Christmas Market, and close to many shops, resraurants, and bars/pubs. The room was great, spotless, quite comfy and the staff were excellent. The only downside was that it could get quite noisy in the room, ambulances regularly driving by and very clearly hearing doors closing and other guests in the corridors. It wouldn't deter us from staying again though!

This was an excellent location to explore Bath. The hop on hop off bus had a stop near the hotel so I never had to use my car to get around. The staff members were all very nice and helpful. The car park was to the rear of the hotel and very convenient.

The big downside was the noise levels from hotel staff at 6.30am in the morning - our sleep was disrupted as a result. Having a room next to the service elevator was not ideal. The building works were not disclosed to us on Expedia at the time of booking.

Swish but squeaky
Lovely hotel with a lovely room…. Except…. Floorboards are so squeaky that you can hear everyone’s footsteps. Room above us was very active at 6.30 on a Sunday morning that they woke us up! Needs a carpenter and some sound-deadening underlay!!
