Hotel has great character and presence. Getting a tad tired overall but remains our Bath hotel of choice for location, spacious rooms and spa facilities, especially the outdoor spa pool which is most relaxing. Easy parking, healthy and pleasant walk in Bath and local restaurants have choices for all tastes.

I was able to stay here for 2 nights. Situated near the heart of Bath, the buildings and grounds strike quite the majestic impression. Parking is relatively close to the reception area which provided a grand entrance. I was politely checked in to a decent sized room which was well decorated and included a fridge. The bathroom was especially impressive with a very good shower and bath. I also took advantage of the gym set up. It was well equipped with enough cardio machines as well as work stations, cables, benches and a good dumbell rack enough to allow for a comprehensive resistance training workout. The king sized bed allowed for a tremendous and well-needed sleep. The only blot on this accommodation landscape was the breakfast experience. The first morning was especially disappointing. I went for the full cooked breakfast. The ingredients did not seem of a good quality with some items overcooked and the bread quite stale. The worst was the apple juice which was diluted beyond recognition. The second morning I played it safe with a sandwich with natural yoghurt fruit and orange juice which was a lot better. If the breakfast was worked on then I would be quite confident in giving it a full 5 star rating.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The level of cleanliness was unfortunately really poor. The toilets (in room and in the communal areas) had not been cleaned properly, there was mould in the bathroom and hair on the bedroom floor. The ‘spa facilities’ are also not well maintained. Disappointing for what the hotel is marketing.

Got to reception at 3:15pm was told can’t check in until 3:30pm. Sat down and at 3:25pm there was a touch of queueing people who had obviously all been told the same thing. Waited 20mins in the queue to finally check in. We booked this hotel for the spa experience. The outdoor heated pool and one of the sauna were both out of order. All the other facilities in the spa were extremely busy because everyone checked in at the same time. Spent 20mons in the spa before giving up.

First time staying at this hotel after 10years and it’s a huge decline from back then. No longer a 5star hotel more a 3.5/4star. The front desk staff (Rory L’estrange) was terrible - lacking any customer service skills or warmth. Breakfast was slow and limited options, quality again a huge decline.

An amazing hotel from start to finish. The staff cant be more friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and fresh looking with robes and slippers provided. A bottle of water is also provided on arrival alongside biscuits, teas and coffees. Lovely cooked breakfast in the morning. Bath main town is a short walk away (15 / 20 mins) but be aware that there is a steep hill returning back to the hotel if walking that might be a challege for those less mobile. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Expected more from a 5* hotel. Sofa bed wasn't made so we had to ring reception for spare pillows and duvet. It was quickly sorted but we felt like our son wasn't accounted for. The spare bed was very uncomfortable and you could feel every spring underneath. Aircon wasn't working so we weren't able to adjust the temperature, our bedroom was freezing in the morning!
