Location
Excellent location directly opposite the main train station. All major attractions are walkable. All staff were pleasant and efficient. Tea & coffee making and biscuits were great. A modern bathroom with excellent water pressure. Howe er the bed was a double bed with an uncomfortable old fashioned mattress. The restaurant was limited in its ability to handle all residents staying at the hotel. For example registering at 3 pm resulted in breakfast the following day being already booked out. Going down for dinner they had to ask to ‘squeeze’ us in.

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.

Right next to the station and close to the theatre and shops.
The windows are single glazed, thus a bit noisy

The staff and food at the Royal are excellent.
Our room was small, no hot water to shower and the floor boards were very creaky

January 2025, Royal Hotel - Bath
I was very pleased with the roomI had booked. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. A tiny drawback was limited hot water from the wash basin. However the building is an old one and there was a notice advising if the hotel was busy I may have to wait a short time for hot water so I did not mind this. A shower next morning was great. Breakfast was good too.
The gentleman on Reception was excellent, informative and extremely hee Royal when I return to Bath in the future. Thank you.
