Annabelle's Guest House had all the basics covered nicely: A helpful host, breakfast each morning, cleanliness, a comfortable bed, and the rooms were cosy which was nice to return to after after a cold rainy day. Note it is a share house, not a hotel so there are less amenities available.
I'd recommend staying during the weekdays when it's generally less busy both in the town and at this property. You'll have a more comfortable stay.
During the weekend the property was almost full, which changes the experience as it's a fairly small property which means you can hear the noise from other floors and you have to wait for the shared spaces. The streets are also much noisier come the weekends and the noise travels through. Most rooms share bathrooms one between two rooms.
Best things:
- Unbeatable location right in the centre of town.
- Friendly host
- Nice breakfast of yoghurts, cereals, fruit and toast (but note, it is meat-free)
- Clean
Could be better:
- Noise levels/sound proofing
- Relatively basic rooms - No desk or working space (at least in the twin room)
- A bit stuffy and the only way to ventilate was to open the window and curtains which let in a lot of street noise and reduced privacy.
- No easy parking (Bath central is generally not parking friendly so avoid bringing a car! Street parking is very rare and there are private carparks but they charge steep fees)
Good for a relatively affordable, short stay.
