Great location in Bath

There was construction happening so the restaurant was closed but we were offered a complimentary breakfast from the continental in the morning. A great selection and fresh breakfast each morning. The room was very comfortable. The WiFi was not the strongest connection. Great location as its central and nearby to many of the attractions and restaurants.

Nice hotel, but not for giants.

Lovely hotel and great staff. Good job we're not taller though since the ceilings are pretty low on the top floor.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in an excellent location, near Victoria Park, a very short walk to the Christmas Market, and close to many shops, resraurants, and bars/pubs. The room was great, spotless, quite comfy and the staff were excellent. The only downside was that it could get quite noisy in the room, ambulances regularly driving by and very clearly hearing doors closing and other guests in the corridors. It wouldn't deter us from staying again though!
