We love this hotel - the building and situation is lovely, but the staff are the jewel in the crown.
Pros:

The staff are what make the Bird special. Their welcome, friendliness and keenness to help are outstanding. Breakfast was delicious and all waitress served. The shower was wonderful - really hot and high volume of water. The towels were huge and fluffy - so unlike most hotels. The view from the back of the hotel over towards the Abbey is beautiful. The little extras like the snacks station and the fresh milk available at all times for coffee were really appreciated. This was our second visit and there will most definitely be a third.

Cons:

The rooms are a little small so the storage is sparing. There is pretty much nothing else that wasn't perfect.

We would definitely stay again
Pros:

All the staff were extremely polite, friendly and helpful, they are a massive asset to the hotel.
The location is great, you can leave the car in the car park and walk into the city everyday.

Cons:

The rooms are quite small as is the shower cubicle. The grout and mastic work needs cleaning/redoing.

Frankly speaking didn’t like it.
Pros:

Mediocre

Cons:

1. Parking is not suitable for road trip stay cause parking is not guaranteed. You come and all slots are busy by other guests including those who had to check out and leave but somehow decided to explore the city and leave the cars on the hotel parking. Strange hotel policy.
2. In our room the bathroom was tiny. The shower was not fenced off by anything: you wash and everything splashes on the toilet and towels, the toilet is clamped tightly between the sink and the hot battery. going to the toilet is fraught with the risk of burns and joint injuries
3. Audibility is pretty annoying. You literally share the audio space with all the neighbors from the adjacent rooms.

un séjour de rêve
Pros:

la Décoration très colorée, le personnel est très professionnel et sympathique, souriant et accueillant. Le Restaurant de l'hôtel est top, j'ai adoré la tartin miso et la glace au poivre un délice ! jolie quartier pas trop loin du centre et des départs pour les excusions aux alentours de Bath.

Good overall, comfortable and well staffed, friendly welcome. Just not quite value for money for wha
Pros:

Staff very nice and friendly. Well located 10 mins walk into centre. Good facilities. Nice views from hotel. Great shower in room

Cons:

Expensive for 1 night stay, quality of room not quite value for money. Unfortunately we had interrupted night from shy crying in next room but not hotel fault clearly. Goof will gesture given by not charging for parking. Generally room could be a bit updated and just need to review prices to ensure fair

A perfect stay.
Pros:

We have stayed here several times before and find that the cosy King room is perfect for us. The breakfast is exceptionally good. The location is excellent, easy access to central Bath and the train station and there is parking.
We appreciated the anniversary card which was a lovely touch as well as the water and the rocky road travelling treat to eat on the way home. Very thoughtful. The larder was good as well. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons:

We had an evening meal in the restaurant, the staff were extremely helpful and the service was very good but we found the main menu limited and there was no steak left at 18.30 which had been my choice so I ended up having two starters.
The desserts were extremely good as was the presentation of the food. It would be nice to have more chicken on the menu rather than just meat, fish and vegetarian.
