Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were basic but clean, and the separate annexe at the rear of the main building offered a quiet retreat. The broken blinds were a downside as they couldn't be used. The service was satisfactory with amenities like housekeeping and laundry available. The location, although a bit far from the city center, was beautiful and convenient for accessing public transportation. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good selection of food. Despite a few minor issues, I found the hotel to be a decent choice for the price.
I stayed at this hotel in a brilliantly restored Italianate mansion with helpful friendly staff and a great breakfast. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by noisy people smoking weed and arguing until 3am. The rooms were neat and comfortable, but my stay in the new annex was disrupted by a large group of teenagers in the room above making a lot of noise, resulting in me having to complain after midnight due to the disturbance.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were large and clean with fantastic views from being at the top of the tower, but they were very hot making it hard to sleep with noisy beds. The service was good overall with amenities like housekeeping and laundry available, but there were some minor disturbances during late hours. The location was superb, perfect for activities like the Bath University Open Day, although accessibility for cyclists might be challenging due to steep hills. The dining options were varied, with well-cooked and plentiful meals, but the price for some selections didn't match the quality. In terms of facilities, the hotel had a fair selection to offer.
The hotel was located near Bath City Centre, with a short distance to all attractions. The rooms in the new annex were noisy, making it challenging to get quality rest. The location was convenient, close to the bus stop but required walking up a hill to return. The dining experience offered a decent selection but had timings that might not suit everyone.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was a bit challenging, being on top of a hill just outside Bath, which made walking back demanding for some. However, the dining was great with a variety of delicious options, and the service was top-notch. The rooms, though away from the main house, were comfortable despite feeling a bit suffocating at night.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were immaculately clean and very spacious, but could have been bigger and were uncomfortably hot at times. The location was just right, up the hill from town, offering a quiet and rural feel while still being within walking distance to the town center. The dining was adequate but ran out of some essentials and was not restocked promptly. The service was decent, with a range of amenities offered. However, I found the walk up the hill to get to the hostel a bit tiresome, especially since it's at the back of the main building.
