Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is in a wonderful residential neighborhood just outside a beautiful garden. The rooms offer excellent facilities and have nice welcoming touches, including a hand basin. The service is attentive and eager to assist with any sightseeing arrangements. Dining includes several warm dishes to choose from and homemade sweets. However, the facilities could be improved, and the value for money aspect is worth considering.
The hotel is set in a lovely area, in a quiet neighborhood, right by Pulteney Bridge and just a short walk into the city center. The rooms offer a view over the pretty garden and come with excellent facilities, albeit with a shared bathroom. The dining experience is excellent, with proper tea served and high-quality ingredients, though wood-fired pizzas are not available. The service is top-notch, with attentive and helpful staff arranging sightseeing, and the location is fabulous, near Bath's main attractions and across the river. The facilities are great, making for a comfortable stay with a beautiful garden. The value for money is reasonable, considering the overall experience.
The hotel is a charming gem with a cozy feel, offering a lovely garden view from the high-floor rooms, although the shared bathrooms may not suit all guests. They even surprised us with some complimentary drinks, a nice touch. The service was top-notch, with attentive waiters who went out of their way to assist with sightseeing plans. However, the absence of a lift could be tricky for some travelers. I adored the peaceful and convenient location by the iconic Pulteney Bridge, ideal for exploring the city's main attractions.

The service was fantastic with attentive staff eager to help with site seeing arrangements. The dining was a delightful experience with high-quality, locally sourced vegan options. However, the shared bathrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors might not suit everyone, and the lack of a small refrigerator in the rooms could be inconvenient.
