The Francis works out about £50 pe rnight more expensive than local (and sometimes, not-so-local) B&Bs in the Bath area. My boyfriend and I decided to spend the extra cash to be closer to town. The minute you walk in the decor is striking and kitsch, a beautiful fusion between modern and traditional throughout the hotel. The bathrooms in the... More

Great central location, and our (Superior) room was clean, tidy and quiet. However, the restaurant service for breakfast on both mornings of our stay was chaos - and way short if what you'd expect for £20 per plate. Queue to get a table, 35 mins between sitting down and cooked breakfast arriving, tables around us getting the wrong order, and/or... More

I've just been with a group of 30 for a 3-night stay while we visited Bath. It's in Queen Square, a perfect location in the centre of town. I loved the way it had been decorated internally, a 21st century 'take' on a Georgian interior - because it does, after all, occupy a row of 18th century houses, and as... More

Had a front facing room on the 2nd floor with views over the square. Quite small (but kiv this is a listed building) and no bath. Mitigants were very... More

The first thing that struck me (not literally, but almost) when checking into our 2nd floor room of the Francis Hotel was the low ceilings. I'm 5'11 and standing on tip-toes my head was a couple of inches from the ceiling, so if you're taller than about 6'3 you might want to avoid this place. Taking a shower (the type... More

Thank you for sending in a review. I’m unsure which room it was that you stayed in as the ceilings in the rooms on the 2nd floor are a standard 8ft 2inch height, however, the ceilings in the rooms on the 3rd floor are slightly lower (not, as you say, for basket ballers!); I do hope this didn’t spoil your...

We visit Bath on a regular basis and have stayed in four different hotels so far this is by far the best. Its central location (short walk to the best shops) is a plus. I understand it has recently reopened after extensive refurbishment, the decor and attention to detail reflects this and creates a good ambiance.We stayed in a classic... More

It really is in the centre of Bath everything is a short walk from this well situated Hotel. This is our second visit to this Hotel and won't be our last,excellent helpful staff who are eager to help . The breakfast is rather expensive unless you get an inclusive deal,but loads of eateries close by try the Barton Tea room
