This is a very nice hotel, I just feel it would be so much better if it had a restaurant doing good food, ok there is a nice indian across the road but not everyone likes that, 15 /20 min walk into town to decent eateries I just think HIE have missed out here

Spent 5 nights there and the friendly staff couldn't do enough to make my stay enjoyable. Parking was tight one evening but the receptionist moved her car to make way for me. Breakfast is basic but hot and the tables were cleaned as and when they needed to be.

This hotel was expensive, but in a great location for Bath, with the City Centre being a 10 minute walk away. We were shocked to find out we had to pay for parking when we arrived though.

At almost £100 per night, this might at first glance seem expensive... but this is Bath and this is one of the more, if not the most, affordable hotel in the city. If you are driving, the location isn't bad, on Lower Bristol Rd which is the main road running around the south of the centre. Was quite surprised to... More

We stayed here for a birthday treat, the hotel looks lovely inside. The room was good size, but a little unclean. The bed frame was stained and the bedside table leg (chromed) has lots of dirty watermarks on.
