Pros:

The garden was magnificent. The room was really lovely with a beautiful view. It felt really clean.

Cons:

I had some difficulty finding it. I decided to walk there, and there wasn’t any signage that I could find, so I ended up walking around a very, very large block.

You will not be disappointed at the Royal Crescent Hotel and Spa
Pros:

The Royal Crescent Hotel in Bath is outstanding! It Has the most gorgeous grounds a beautiful restaurant and bar, rooms are spacious and appropriately decorated as well. The fitness and spa are modern and peaceful. The hotel is right in front of a beautiful park/green space that people spend time at in the evening and easy walking distance to town. It was such a peaceful and relaxed experience after having spent almost 4 days in a very hectic London. We felt like we were being spoiled and a bit transported back in time yet with classic, modern amenities. My husband and I went for our 30th wedding anniversary to Amsterdam, London and Bath. Having this as our final stop was the cherry on top!

A beautiful Bath hotel that does great weddings
Pros:

We love the RCH. The gardens and service are excellent. We chose to get married here for a small ceremony and had a fantastic time: the team made sure we used dog friendly rooms, the team organised a tasting menu with wine pairing and it was very well thought out around old people and lack of mobility. They acquired the wine we wanted. We told the RCH we wanted a low stress, low drama highly executed event. Both Carisma and Joss were brilliant at the organisation. I loved staying in the hotel. The rooms are great, airy. Breakfast is good. The gardens are beautiful and the location is prime Bath. Great spa too.

Wrong bill
Pros:

While the hotel is lovely and staff extremely friendly we had a shock with our bill at the end of the stay.
We discovered we had been charged over £200 for someone else's evening meal.
Once we pointed this out the lady at reception seemed a bit put out and said I will check.
She then said but you have signed for it.
We still said it's not our dinner bill and we pointed out to her that they had in fact listed our own dinner bill as a lunch bill (we didn't have lunch that day) to then "accommodate" someone else's dinner bill on to our account!!
On closer inspection she realised surnames were similar but not the same so obviously signatures were different also. She checked and obviously they were in a different room.
She then said...Oh I will remove that off your bill as if she was doing us a favour.
So what had been a lovely stay was spoilt at the end.
So please ensure your staff double check receipts correctly and not just glance at names. Luckily we spotted it but others might have just paid .
