Awful experience, don't stay here
Pros:

The food was ok

Cons:

We were severely bitten by bedbugs. We raised this after our first night and were only offered a change of sheets. It took management over 48 hours to confirm this to us and even then we had to keep calling them for confirmation. This has meant that we now have taken bedbugs home and now have to treat our home. Really really poor response from staff and management to this and we feel as though we have been really badly treated with a total lack of respect shown to us.

Good location but very compact & poor shower
Pros:

Good central location above a cosy bar
Room was nicely decorated & king bed was fairly comfortable
Portable fan helped with the temperature

Cons:

The room was incredibly compact - somewhat expected in a lovely old building, but still hard to manoeuvre & get ready with so little space.
My main bug bear was the shower - a rainfall shower head without a separate hand held spray - the water pressure was really low so generally showering & particularly rinsing my hair was a frustrating process. Doubly so as the water, even on the coolest setting was far, far too hot.
The bathroom was also pretty dated, with lots of mould stained sealant & the toilet seat is dire need of replacement!
The lovely old sash windows were also in need of some diy, again mouldy, with peeling paint.
Plug sockets were also a problem - 3 mirrors in the room but not one with a convenient or easily reachable socket - I had to go & buy an extension lead so I could use my hairdryer / tongs.
Lack of plug sockets also made it a juggling act with phone charging, making coffee & using fan, especially as needed fan on all the time as room was really warm - outside temperature was only about 15/16 degrees so not even super warm
Narrow, steep stairs to the rooms - all in need of a refresh compared to the lovely pub downstairs.

Pros:

In an excellent location,, very central. Friendly and helpful staff, very smiley and welcoming.

Cons:

The room was very hot, however a fan was provided. Rather a lot of stairs for checkout due to the pub entrance being closed. Not a major problem.

Central location, friendly staff. Comfortable room and was very clean. Pub downstairs is super cosy and had a delicious dinner there. It was lovely walking back into the atmosphere after a day out exploring Bath. Would absolutely recommend.

Cons:

Only stairs to get to rooms for those who may have difficulty.

Pros:

It was a nice and cozy little room,
Excellent location very handy to everything I required,
A very nice place to quench your thirst after a long day exploring Bath.
Staff were very helpful on my arrival,
I would definitely stay again if I ever come back to Bath.

Cons:

The grumpy barmaid, where I come from service with a smile goes an extremely long way.
