Pleasant experience in near perfect location
Very close to city centre and across from the train and bus stations. Breakfast very good with plenty of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Single room had space for table and chair. Coffee, tea water and biscuits provided in the room. Has a bar lounge.It is an old building so some damage noticeable.

Cracking hotel.
A very comfortably stay. Room was large with a excellent size of bathroom. Room service was excellent as well. A lovely bar area with a great atmosphere . Every good hotel should have a Dave on the bar he was so attentive and made the best calypso coffee you've ever tasted. First class guy.

I really enjoyed the staff and the complementary snacks and water bottle daily. I felt safe with the easy access to the Bath Spa station. Rob the bartender was amazing and so was the reception recommending restaurants and high points to see in Bath.

Location
Excellent location directly opposite the main train station. All major attractions are walkable. All staff were pleasant and efficient. Tea & coffee making and biscuits were great. A modern bathroom with excellent water pressure. Howe er the bed was a double bed with an uncomfortable old fashioned mattress. The restaurant was limited in its ability to handle all residents staying at the hotel. For example registering at 3 pm resulted in breakfast the following day being already booked out. Going down for dinner they had to ask to ‘squeeze’ us in.
