Refused to let us have Breakfast
How can you run a Hotel and not be able to accommodate all your guests for Breakfast - lengthen the window if you don't have room for all in and hour and a half

Historic building, friendly staff
The staff at The Royal Hotel (Andrea, Tim and Gabriel) were friendly, accommodating and professional. The hotel overall needs updating. The bathroom was modern and fine but the carpets need replacing and our third floor room floor creaked a lot whenever we took a step. No one was above us but I felt bad for whoever was below. It is an old building so it’s not too surprising. The bed was ok but not the greatest mattress we had on the trip. The location is great and I would stay again.

A beautiful and calming room to rest in after exploring Bath. And it’s about 10 minutes walk to the city center and also right across the road from the train station so couldn’t be more convenient. Friendly staff as well.

Pleasant experience in near perfect location
Very close to city centre and across from the train and bus stations. Breakfast very good with plenty of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Single room had space for table and chair. Coffee, tea water and biscuits provided in the room. Has a bar lounge.It is an old building so some damage noticeable.
