It is a lovely hotel and we've stayed before. We had booked a four poster room but didn't get the same quality of room we had gotten in our first visit, by that I mean; there was no bathtub, the room was slightly smaller, the noise from outside was significantly louder than expected. We had a lovely stay though and I definitely recommend it.

Staff are amazing! The hotel is very clean. The main reason for ranking this hotel so low is due to the building and elements of hotel that are simply below standard. The bed is awful. The shower is terrible. The hotel just needs a good level of maintenance carried out on it to make it better. I have had better facilities camping. Shower was cold, bed terrible…. Didn’t expect this from what looks to be a very nice hotel. We still had a lovely time but these things need improvement.

3 nights in Bath

Tried hard to like the Royal. Service in all areas was excellent. The location across from the train station is great. Breakfast was very good. But the facility is very old and tired badly in need of an update and refurbishment. At least a deep cleaning and painting. I get that it is an old historic building. But the lack of hot water in the morning is a show stopper. Top tip. If you go shower in the evening when there is hot water. ( On our last day, there literally was no hot water as the boiler broke down)

Disappointed

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy my stay at this hotel. I was expecting old fashioned, but the room was extremely tired, scruffy and unloved. A lick of paint and new wallpaper would have made a huge difference at minor expense. I was glad I didn't have to spend much time there. The only good point of the room was nice towels, duvet and pillows. Word of warning, if you end up with the last parking space like me, it is tiny. They should really be reduced to 5 spaces rather than 6. Southgate multi-storey is a much better option and only minutes away. I don't recommend this hotel as there are far better choices in Bath for the same cost.

Although great location and great staff, we didn't really understand the super high ratings unless you really like old school retro-hotels.The shower tray had mold, and the thermostat was ancient. It usually took about five minutes before any hot water came out. The beds were more springs than mattresses. The window was old and almost gave me a hernia to open. There was no space left at breakfast. The atmosphere and location made up for a lot, and we did sleep. Also, the nearby breakfastoptions (cafe au lait and Cortado cafe) were so good that we didn't actually mind not having breakfast at the hotel. But yes, if we ever need a place in Bath again, we'll look elsewhere, with apologies to the very friendly staff.
