The hotel is in an excellent central location, just a short walk from some of the main sights you would want to see in the city. Getting around was very easy. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming and genuinely lovely throughout my stay. I stayed on my own with my dog and we were given a very sweet room with a city view. The room was small but perfectly sufficient and comfortable for us. Breakfast was very good, with items selected from a menu and served quickly. The service was efficient and friendly, and the dishes were fresh and tasty. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and would happily choose this hotel again on my next visit.

This is a pub, so reception is at the bar, we were able to drop our bags early and felt they were safe. On our return check in was quick, we received our key and instructions to find our room. We had paid for a 'King Room', it was on the 3rd floor, luckily we only had a small case. There was work being done so we looked out on scaffolding. The room was small, quirky and had a sloping floor which meant the bed also sloped and small, but everything was clean, the bathroom was good, lots of hot water. The main problem was a lot of noise outside all night, as the pub is on a corner of the main walkway between the restaurants/attractions and the bus and train station. It did not stop until about 3am. Breakfast was excellent

Great breakfast! Our room was on the 4th floor with no lift. I’m 69 and struggled to get our bags to the room. Floor slanted at least 10 degrees. No hot water in the shower😳. Staff very nice - carried my bags down on departure and called cab to pick us up! Location outstanding - near train station and all attractions.

We stayed in the hotel during the heat wave, so without the AC the room was quite warm, however manageable. Please mind the old style stairs in the building, may be challenging with heavy luggage. Otherwise the place was excellent for us. The breakfast is the best!

Such a cute building in the heart of Bath, a quick walk to so many attractions such as the Roman Bath itself, coach station, and parks. Breakfast was so delicious and the staff were the friendliest people. The room itself was very cute and simple with an updated bathroom but it had little airflow and after 50 steps to the top floor in the middle of summer, it became very stuffy. The fan that was included in the room helped but our shower only seemed to give out hot water and was very confusing to use. I would absolutely love to stay again, probably not during the warmer months or at least try for a room on one of the other floors, but I did enjoy the stay here. And again, the food was SO GOOD!

The room was clean and tidy. Being an attic conversion the ceilings sloped but this was not a major issue. Also being 200 years old the floors were uneven. Third floor is not really suitable for older guests with knee or hip problems. There is no lift. Breakfast was average, the bacon was overcooked and dry, the mushrooms also over cooked and the tomatoes burnt.
