Cons:

I don’t think it’s fair at the end of your stay to be asked to add a tip when you’ve already paid for a service. It feels very uncomfortable.

A calming influence in a city that’s a little crazy
Pros:

After a long drive with lots of traffic the stress levels where high. However Stuart the concierge greeted us with a calming demeanour that set the tone of our whole stay. Chris the bar man deserves a special mention also he was fantastic. He recommended some amazing places. The onsite restaurant is a must the food and service is incredible.

A perfect place to stay
Pros:

This is perhaps the most perfect hotel we have ever used. It is not the most luxurious, the poshest or the most expensive. But what it does it does perfectly and is excellent value for money. The rooms are very comfortable, spacious and well appointed. The service is excellent - the staff are highly efficient, very kind and helpful, welcoming, respectful and friendly. As it happened, the only meals we ate were breakfasts, but they were predictably very good. The location could not be better - A very tastefully restored historic building 5 minutes walk from Bath Abbey. The well-appointed spa with thermal spring water very tastefully recalls the Roman original.
