"This hotel was great for my weekend in Bath. The location was convenient for seeing the city and getting to and from the train station. A very quick walk to the spa and the Roman baths. The room is spacious and well maintained. The only negative I have is the breakfast. The food was stale and bland. But it was free so take it for what you will. I would definitely stay here again."

"Great location, very boutique style hotel. The lighting in the room needs to be improved dramatically. It was dim and difficult to read a book. Minor issue, but the coffee cups provided were old and had significant stains, a real put off if using them for coffee or tea. The doors in lobby made significant noise that carried up through the second floor. Perhaps look at a way to dampen that."

"The Spa can only be used for guests between 8-10am and 7-9pm, if you want to use the spa outside of these times you need to pay for spa entry which was £70pp! Also, the parking is not onsite, even though it is advertised as this. It is a 5 minute walk away a few roads away from the hotel, which you have to park and walk yourself, even though you're charged £40 per night."
