This was to be our very first European hotel stay and what a treat it was! The historical building is set it beautifully manicured gardens and has its own thermal spa that guests can use without charge - the spa itself was amazing! The room was a decent size and beautifully decorated. I must mention just how comfortable the bed... More

This hotel was absolutely fantastic! Perfect location, 10 minute walk to town, wonderful food, great service. Spa facilities were amazing especially the outdoor heated pool!! We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel which were both faultless. Overall 5*!!!!

We have just returned from another fantastic long weekend break at this great hotel and I must say that it is one of the friendliest and well run hotels that we have ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived to the day we left, nothing was too much trouble and everything was really well organised. As an example, we... More

We chose the venue for our small wedding reception and found the staff to be friendly, competent and attentive. The building and grounds are beautiful. As we arrived we were impressed with the efficiency/professionalism of the staff. It was evident, as the bride arrived she was sheltered from the drizzle with an umbrella, and throughout efforts were made to ensure... More

We stayed two nights at this hotel. It has a decaying grandeur about it. The air conditioning is not great and the lift is very slow, but I gave it 5 stars. The reason was that it was the most helpful and friendliest hotel we have stayed at in the UK. I tend to judge hotels by the staff and... More

During our visit to bath, we decided to sleep in this place, the room was big and nice confrotable addition, the staff who greeted us was nice my family enjoyed the visit, the better the situation where we slept, there was no need to catch a taxi or bus to move to the sites.

Came here for afternoon tea. This was peaceful place to have afternoon tea. The gardens were lovely and the staff were accommodating. It was also reasonably priced too. All round good choice for afternoon tea. PS the carrot cake was the best

Wonderful location with delightful walk into the city through Sydney Gardens and up beautiful Pulteney St. The staff were very attentive and charming but the restaurant, in particular, was understaffed. The head waiter was working flat out to look after everyone. Quite a lot of waiting in a large and chilly room. The portions were small and there were too... More

Impressive lobby and crisp service made a great first impression. Great location and an easy walk through a beautiful park to get to town and sites. Unfortunately our third floor room was grim and dated with a very uncomfortable bed, the mattress was clearly shot. Bathroom was better and our friends on the garden level had a much nicer room...
