Nice staff and handy to train and bus
Pros:

Location was handy to the train and bus. Staff were helpful.

Cons:

It was hot whilst in Bath and only 1 window partially opened, and a small fan meant the room was stuffy. Also, bulky and unnecessary furniture meant room felt smaller than it was, and very little space for luggage or storage / wardrobe space. Could be far more functional with a bit of thought.
We also had a big storm come through which knocked out the lift and the WiFi...but that's not the hotels fault!

Mala experiencia por culpa del calor, la lluvia y el estado de las instalaciones
Pros:

Personal atento y responsivo a la hora de lidiar con los problemas que nos surgieron.
A 5 minutos a pie del centro de Bath.

Cons:

Llegamos durante una ola de calor, la habitación no tenía aire acondicionado, sólo una ventana y un ventilador. Completamente insuficientes.
También llovió en torno a las 20:00, fue una tormenta veraniega corta. El tejado tenía goteras, lo cuál estropeó el ascensor y el Wi-Fi, además de algunas alarmas de incendios y empapar la alfombra del pasillo y la entrada de nuestra habitación. Una luz de nuestra habitación parpadeaba al apagarla y no dejaba de hacerlo.
El personal nos ofreció un reembolso a las 22:00, pero en ese momento sólo queríamos dormir e irnos al día siguiente (sólo pasábamos una noche allí).

Charming old hotel
Pros:

Location excellent for train & bus travel. Short walk to shops & city centre. Hotel and room had lovely, old world feeling and decor, Lounge and Brassiere available. Friendly, helpful staff. Closet and drawers for clothes (no slippers!). Tea/coffee in room. Bed comfortable. Room clean.

Cons:

Frosted window panes on two windows, couldn't look out on street from one; other opened onto roof, but only 8-10"; made room feel too enclosed. Lovely feather duvet, but too hot for summer. Couldn't a top sheet be supplied as well, so duvet could be thrown back if hot?

Cons:

The interior is aged but tidy, you get what you pay for it's a good budget option , doors are quite heavy to open with a suitcase in tow.

This hotel needs investment.
Pros:

excellent location in the centre of bath and i reserved 1 of the 6 available car spaces.

Cons:

NO air-conditioning in a heatwave. lift broke down. Leak in bathroom that also affected bedroom. I had to move to another hotel with the duty receptionist's help. when i chased for my refund 4 days' later, another duty receptionist was initially unhelpful, but after 10mins of arguing, he relented and agreed to chase Booking.com for me.

Comfortable and wonderfully located
Pros:

Very central location, easy to get to and from the train station and most local attractions by foot. The staff are lovely, the on-site breakfast was fantastic, and the rooms are comfortable and clean

Cons:

The property is definitely a bit dated — one of the taps in my room didn’t work properly, and the curtains didn’t fully cover the window at night. There is no air conditioning or fan in the room, but also no way to securely fix the window open. The elevator was regrettably also out of order when I arrived due to the heatwave

Good location, friendly staff.
Pros:

Location excellent, right outside station so we could drop our bags, staff very friendly, beds comfortable.

Cons:

In need of an update, bathroom very small and dated. We arrived in a heatwave and room was far too hot to get changed in as curtains were wide open to the sun and window only opened an inch! There was a fan in room which helped, but had the curtains been closed then it would have kept some of the direct sun out.

Lovely hotel but not during a heatwave!
Pros:

Location was excellent, room was a great size.
Staff were very kind and apologetic for their limited ability to deal with the heatwave.
The bed was comfortable.
Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Due to the heat wave*
Elevator wasn't working for guests (for safety) though it could take luggage.
There was only a small fan per room which didn't do much. Sweated all night so no real rest.

I should have left and got another hotel .
Pros:

The only thing I can say is its location to train station is convenient and walkable to tourist sights .

Cons:

We were not informed the elevator doesn’t work . Handicap person this hotel is a disaster of trip hazards . Staff did not help with luggage. Stairs were very difficult to manage . Rooms were very hot I felt like I was being baked in an oven . Also not informed of street being blocked off due to roadwork . A complimentary drink does not make up for all the hassles and stress we endured.
