“In my opinion, the hotel's Georgian architecture and prime location in Queen Square, a UNESCO site, make it an ideal base for exploring Bath's historical attractions like the Roman Baths and Royal Crescent. The pet-friendly policy, personalized service, and locally sourced dining options add considerable value. Based on my exploration, it stands out for combining historical charm with modern luxury and thoughtful amenities.”

the Emberwood restaurant offered a fantastic dining experience, complemented by a well-stocked bar. I noticed the classic style extended to the furniture, wallpaper, and taklamps. This created a PERFECTLY cohesive atmosphere.

The breakfast buffet was really good. it had lots of choices and gluten-free options too. the staff were friendly! and very helpful. i thought the location was the best thing. It is right in the city centre.
the car park barrier did not open. reception told me it had been closed for months. i had to park at a public car park, that was annoying. also, there was a lot of noise, i couldn't really relax in my room during the day.

i stayed in a newly refurbished room. it was spacious and well-appointed. the location was central, and i found it convenient for exploring. the staff were friendly and cute, a definite plus.
my stay coincided with ongoing refurbishment. there was no gym available at the time. i also found the bed and pillows to be uncomfortable. these issues detracted from the overall experience, especially considering the price.
