Fabulous hotel

Part of the hotel was under renovation, so we had to do a detour out of the building to our room, however the staff walked us to the room and it was lovely. Spacious, a radio was playing gently on arrival providing a great ambiance. Mini bar with soft drinks was complimentary. Location was perfect also.

High standard without elevator

We had a great stay at the Francis hotel in the city center. The standard of the hotel was fantastic, but no elevator made the return to the room 3rd floor a nightmare. Parts of the hotel were under construction but thatvdidn’t affect our stay.
Louise, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Francis Hotel Bath is currently undergoing some refurbishment so unfortunately there was no lift to the third floor. The hotel warned us of the on-going work before our arrival which was very much appreciated. The staff made us feel very welcome and I very much appreciated the facilities provided in the bedroom. It was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.
