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.

The hotel located opposite the train station and if your room is at front of the hotel, you will hear the trains all night long. Otherwise is convenient walking distance to the main attractions “Roman Bath”.

Centrally located. Good sized bathroom, but no extractor fan or ability to control temp (and no window) so hot and humid.

The room was just okay. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient. The location is wonderful for walking and we didn’t notice any extra noise from the train station across the street. Note that hot water seems to empty out by 9:00 am.

Stayed at the Royal as we were going to a concert at the Forum which is just nearby. Girl at reception extremely friendly and helpful. We managed to book one of the psrking spaces belonging to the hotel just round the corner which was very convenient. Would stay again.
