"We found this stunning hotel right in the centre of Bath while browsing the Expedia web site. We never dreamed it would be this good. The friendly reception staff greeted us with a warm welcome and were eager to make our stay memorable. This historic Georgian hotel had just opened after 3 years of extensive renovation and it was superb on every level...from the tasteful elegant decor and reimagined period features, to the large comfortable beds and brand new bathrooms, the attention to every detail was noticeable. We appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea bar with cold drinks in our room overlooking the park. We loved hanging out at the 1748 Bar and Lounge and enjoyed an excellent breakfast, salad for lunch and after dinner drinks. The location was perfect for the walking and bus tours and very near the train station. I would definitely come back again. Thank you!"

"The property is historic and is decorated accordingly. Breakfast was lovely. Please note, there are NO king beds in this hotel-even though Expedia sold me a room for one. Also, the lift or elevator NOT working- apparently for several weeks now. Inquire as to whether it’s been repaired if you have trouble with steps as there may be many. Lighting fixtures in room need updating. Most staff very nice, especially Tim. Tub in Room 201 is fantastic but door needs to be replaced- extremely difficult to open and damaged on inside. Being on back side of hotel v street side is preferred as there is construction on Manvers. Excellent location near train. Very walkable to stores and historical sites. Cheers!"
