outrageous parking fees!!

The staff were friendly and the bathroom was clean.

Pros:

The staff were very friendly. The hotel was very clean. The room was clean and comfortable. Nice shower and toiletries

Cons:

When I originally booked (at end of 2025), car parking was offered at a discounted rate of £17.50 per 24 hours- which was one of the facilities that helped me decide on the booking. In March 2026 the policy was changed to £50 per 24 hours. I feel this is extortionate- we therefore ended up parking at a park & ride, bussing and walking to the hotel. This change in parking charges was very disappointing

Good location, shame about the parking costs and sub standard breakfast.
Pros:

Location, within 10mins walk of city centre

Cons:

£50 per day car parking!!!
Breakfast items were cold, especially the hash browns.
Bar prices far too high.
Watered down fruit juice, to the extent I could tell the difference between the orange and the apple juice!!

Fornøyd med total inntrykket av hotellet, var et komfortabelt opphold. PS: trenger man en spankingpaddle lå det en under
Pros:

Parkering tilgjengelig, komfortabelt rom og romslig bad. Grei tilgjengelighet til Bath om man kjører eller ikke har noe imot å gå litt.

Cons:

Litt kaotisk i gangene med vaskevogner overalt og kun 1 heis.
