Great reception and super helpful staff. They helped us get our luggage up to the room and very very communicative ahead of time about the lifts being temporarily out. Also gave us excellent advice for parking. Feels like we got an absolute steal staying here.

Great stay

This hotel is in the perfect location to explore Bath. The staff are incredibly helpful and polite and we loved our stay here as a family. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, but this did not impact on our stay at all. The bar area is really welcoming and breakfast was delicious. Great stay

10/10 Exceptional

We’ve stayed here several times.p and always been very happy. Our room was recently updated and was very good, the building work was ongoing, but didn’t disturb us. It did mean the small car park was closed, but public parking is within a few minutes walk.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous hotel

Part of the hotel was under renovation, so we had to do a detour out of the building to our room, however the staff walked us to the room and it was lovely. Spacious, a radio was playing gently on arrival providing a great ambiance. Mini bar with soft drinks was complimentary. Location was perfect also.

Carol, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was perfect and we look forward to staying there again. They were in the process of renovating some parts of the hotel when we stayed there and we were able to stay in one of the new rooms. It was fabulous. The staff was very helpful and kind. The hotel is walking distance of the Roman baths and the Jane Austen center and a lot of great restaurants and shops.

8/10 Very good

High standard without elevator

We had a great stay at the Francis hotel in the city center. The standard of the hotel was fantastic, but no elevator made the return to the room 3rd floor a nightmare. Parts of the hotel were under construction but thatvdidn’t affect our stay.

It was my wife's 60th and not only did they give us a front bedroom as requested, but they upgraded us with a complimentary bottle of fizz. the reception was lovely and helpful. Thanks to all.
