Great location in Bath
There was construction happening so the restaurant was closed but we were offered a complimentary breakfast from the continental in the morning. A great selection and fresh breakfast each morning. The room was very comfortable. The WiFi was not the strongest connection. Great location as its central and nearby to many of the attractions and restaurants.

Nice hotel, but not for giants.
Lovely hotel and great staff. Good job we're not taller though since the ceilings are pretty low on the top floor.
