Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location was ideal for both city exploration and access to sports events. The room, while spacious, was in poor condition, as was the overall state of the hotel. The service, though polite, seemed more focused on phone conversations than assisting guests. The hotel's dining options were limited due to renovation works, offering only local pastries. However, the presence of a downstairs lounge was convenient for socializing.
The hotel had a convenient location for a short walk to town and easy access to all sights. The rooms were very basic and desperately needed updating, especially with the strong smell of smoke lingering. The service was lacking, with young and changing staff unable to address complaints effectively. The dining options were subpar, leading me to recommend dining in a cafe nearby.
The hotel had a prime location near the city center and attractions, very close to shops. The rooms were unclean and moldy, with a stuffy atmosphere and a desk fan without a cover, making it the worst room I've stayed in for the price. The service was lackluster, with non-native English speakers who appeared inexperienced and were not helpful. The absence of dining options due to renovation work was a drawback. Despite these issues, the place showed signs of its former grandeur and was relatively quiet.
The hotel had some issues with room quality, service, and atmosphere. The rooms were uncomfortable and not ideal, with a slanted bed making the stay unpleasant. The service varied from friendly and professional to abrupt and lacking competence. Despite these drawbacks, the location was excellent for exploring the city center and nearby attractions. Dining options were limited and inconvenient, adding to the overall disappointing experience.
I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The bed in my room felt like sleeping on springs, and it was so hot throughout the building that I couldn't adjust the heating or even keep the window open. I paid for 2 nights but could only endure 1; I highly advise against staying here.
The hotel has some positives like a great city center location and friendly staff, but there are also some drawbacks such as issues with booking and a challenging parking situation.
The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and attractions, offering a good value for the price. The rooms appeared clean and nice initially, but there were cleanliness issues like dead cockroaches and cobwebs. The service was friendly and helpful, despite a minor issue with the receptionist. The outside area could use some maintenance, though the location is excellent for exploring the center. The dining experience was subpar compared to other options.
I arrived at the hotel on a frosty winter evening, and it felt very warm and welcoming. The room needed some painting but was cozy, despite looking onto the street without any nets and with curtains that didn't fully cover the windows. The service was a bit lackluster with the staff being rude and dismissive during check-in and offering no assistance with the steep stairs. However, the location was great, within walking distance to Bath Abby, even though there were some unpleasant smells of smoke near the entrance. The dining experience was subpar due to no breakfast available because of renovation work. Overall, the stay offered mixed experiences but was saved by the convenient location and warmth of the room.
My stay at the hotel was quite average. The rooms were basic yet satisfactory, and they were kept clean. However, it was uncomfortable dealing with a room that was overly hot and had no way to adjust the temperature. The service had its ups and downs with some staff being friendly while others lacked basic courtesy. The location was convenient for exploring Bath but the hotel itself seemed a bit neglected. Unfortunately, dining options were limited due to renovation work. Overall, decent for a short stay but not exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice and big, clean with comfy beds, and a nice shower, but they were boiling hot even though the radiators were off. Unfortunately, the rooms didn't match the pictures; they had limited and old tatty furniture, which made the place feel a bit unclean and uncomfortable.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were big and nice but not modern, with some dirt and grime. The slanted bed made sleeping uncomfortable, feeling like my legs were higher than my head. The staff, who all looked like students aware of the hotel's faults, tried to fix things in an unprofessional manner, including using fists instead of tools. However, they were efficient, helpful, and pleasant overall. The location was fantastic and super central, at a reasonable price, although the rooms needed some updating. The dining options were limited, with only seasonal salads available, and no on-site breakfast provided.
If I had the choice, I wouldn't have stayed here. The rooms badly need a makeover and weren't as clean as they appeared at first glance. The lack of basic amenities like a kettle was disappointing, especially for a group of three like us. However, the service in challenging circumstances was exceptional, with the staff proving to be very accommodating and polite. The location, while priced high for the area, was convenient for walking to the center and the shopping district. The dining options didn't meet hotel standards, and the facilities were lacking. Not the best value for money overall.
The hotel is situated in a premium location in the Georgian Gem of England, offering very good value for money. While the rooms had some issues like torn curtains and filthy walls, the ability to enjoy morning or afternoon tea was still possible. The service was mediocre, with some staff not entirely knowledgeable, but they tried to fulfill requests. The location was perfect for accessing the city center and the Rec stadium, despite lacking some amenities and reliable WiFi. The dining experience fell short compared to other options at a lower price point, with no Wi-Fi available and a lack of quality in certain dishes.
The hotel had some drawbacks like being located in the basement and near the hotel's toilets, but on the bright side, it was very close to the city centre and had off-street parking.
The hotel is located in a super central spot, making it fantastic for exploring the city. However, the smell of smoke near the entrance was off-putting. The rooms, despite being clean, need a significant upgrade. The absence of onsite dining was unexpected, but finger food was available.
