Arrived at the Hotel a little early for check-in, however this wasn't a problem. The receptionist Emily is a credit to the hotel, nothing is to much trouble. I found the bar staff for me personally were not that engaging, especially when you are the only person in the bar a little polite 'how are you' goes a long way,... More

The staff were excellent. The Hotel was clean. No noises of trains but. The local council have a motorised gutter sweeper that noisily passes outside at 6.30 AM. Our room 109 could do with a redecoration as should most of the Hotel. Great breakfast but a CD of all the failed Eurovision songs was played throughout the four mornings we... More

Dear Guest Thank you for staying with us at The Royal Hotel. Room 109 and indeed the entire hotel has been designed by a professional hotel designer. The brief was to ensure it was in keeping with the age of the building. i.e 1846 and designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself and we continually maintain all areas as an ongoing... More

We stayed 4 nights at this hotel and, having arrived by train, were delighted to find that it was so near to the railway station (just across the road) and the bus station, as well as being within a few minutes walk of all the main attractions of the beautiful city of Bath. Our room was large, clean and very... More

The hotel is rustic in style but clean and rooms are more spacious than others in Bath. The beds are good, although a duvet would be better than the rugs and sheets provided, particularly in winter. Location is great for everything, especially the new restaurants near the train station. Breakfast is excellent with a great choice of cooked options. Staff... More

Straight across the road from the railway station and close to the shops and other attractions. Our room was lovely with a comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. I liked the complimentary bathrobe and slippers. The tea and coffee making facilities in the room were excellent. Friendly staff and a superb breakfast. Perhaps a bit noisy at the front due to...

Disappointed with the Bar staffs attitude & professionalism. We called in for a wine and beer at 22.45 on Saturday 4 May. Apart from the drinks being pricey and not being asked what measure of wine we wanted, the barman was obviously keen to end his shift. As we both drank chatting at the bar, on what had been a...

Dear Guest It was upsetting reading your review and please accept my sincere apologies . I have spoken with Tom, the barman on duty that night and he offers his apology. He admits to being tired after a very busy day and he acknowledges that he was less than 100% customer focussed at the time of serving you. Our wine... More

My boyfriend paid extra for an upgrade which was a nice cosy room with a King sized bed (2 singles zipped together) and a spacious bathroom. The shower was fixed above the bath but we couldn't use it as the water temperature control did not work and the water was scalding hot regardless of what setting we put on. There... More
