I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The 'Kipling' room I stayed in was air-conditioned and very clean, making my stay very comfortable. Being directly above the bar, the music speakers added a lively vibe to the room.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with a beautiful room that made me cancel my evening plans just to enjoy it. However, there was a mix-up with the room assignment due to double booking. The service was exceptional, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The location, although at the top of a steep hill, was well managed and wouldn't deter me from staying again. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise, although a few more breakfast choices would have been nice.

The hotel offers beautifully decorated and spacious rooms, though a bit in need of a refresh. The staff is very friendly and helpful, with a slightly uphill trek to town. The dining experience is good, but some delays were noted. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The spacious and quiet rooms provided a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of Bath City Center, but being at the front of the hotel made them a bit noisy. The friendly and hard-working staff were a highlight, but some aspects of the location felt uncomfortable. Overall, a decent experience with room for improvement.

Location

The location was perfect for exploration, just a short walk to both the town center and a beautiful park. However, some aspects made it feel like staying in a junk emporium.

The dining experience was good overall, with an excellent breakfast offering. However, the late start time and lack of variety from the brunch menu were minor drawbacks.
