Ok
Pros:

Very central , convenient for my husbands QA Hospital visit

Cons:

Well , my own mistake I have booked a wheelchair assisted room via Booking com. Normally it doesn’t bother me as it was last minute. The pictures on the website are much nicer than in reality unfortunately. Even no chair and table.
I went back to reception and told the receptionist I’m absolutely not happy and would like a new room even with an upgrade.
Unfortunately they were fully booked that night .
For the second night they offered me a nicer room , which was light and pleasant ( shown on the website)
I have to thank the Receptionist for her help .

This was not a 4 star hotel. Had a much bigger room and way better experience at a Comfort Inn.
Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

Courtyard rooms where there was no cell phone service. No Wi-Fi in one room and only spotty in the other. Was offered a room change only for room with no Wi-Fi. This would have meant being separated from family members without cell phone service.

Great location but lacks polish of other local hotels
Pros:

Great location.

Cons:

AC wasn’t working (Premium King Room) and despite three asks of staff to look at it- no action. Breakfast staff for order were also unnattentive and significant delays.

The most beautiful hotel experience we had
Pros:

The hotel is like a fairy tale, the decoration, the welcoming, the "tour" offered by an young men leading us to our room, even the young lady that made the checkout. Very nice place, near the centre and other beautiful places in Bath.

Cons:

A lovely hotel but needs someone checking housekeeping and some customer service.
Pros:

A charming hotel with most of the staff excellent, though there was one who twice said he would do things and didn’t. There were many issues with the room - curtain not fixed properly, the shaver point broken. Having to ask for towels and, most worrying, the two cases that the hotel was storing until we could check in were lost for an hour, and we had to ask 4 times for them, getting cross in the end.

We had booked to eat at The Elder restaurant, part of the hotel, but I was informed the previous week that it had closed and our booking transferred to the Brasserie Beau. This was not an equal swap - firstly seated in a cold and soulless back room, where I had to ask for the a/c to be turned down. Service was very average, though the server was pleasant, and we waited over 30 minutes between courses and also being asked if we wanted desert. Food was very average and the wine pricey.

Cons:

Fire alarm at midnight which left all guests outside for an hour. The person giving instructions was inaudible and off hand when spoken to, no fire engine arrived (surely all hotel alarms link to the fire brigade?) and whilst it is obviously vitally important, the fact that there was no roll call or checking which rooms were represented outside. In fact, it was disorganised and not like any fire alarm that I’ve been associated with.

It was a pity that we had to keep raising issues that took the edge off our stay. If we stayed again we certainly would eat in the brasserie when there are better restaurants close by.

Great location in Beautiful Bath.
Pros:

Booked late to attend the Rugby. The location of the hotel is excellent. Walking distance to the main town centre attractions and the Railway station.

Cons:

The hotel is a conversion of numerous Georgian houses and courtyard. Our room had a musty damp smell which caused us to open the windows all night. The Bathroom needed a deep clean. There was a considerable build up of dirt and grime in the Bathroom. Strangely we had to book a table for breakfast. I thought these sort of restrictions were long gone. The Breakfast which was very tasty came with scrambled eggs rather than the standard fried eggs. I had no option to change this.
