Lovely little break away
Booked this hotel for a weekend away celebrating my friend’s birthday. Couldn’t have picked a more convenient hotel for arrival by train – with the hotel being just across from the station. Staff in hotel were always friendly and choice for breakfast (and the lovely warm scones on offer for the afternoon cream tea) was great; halloumi with veggie breakfast a particularly special touch. Would definitely book here again.
TripAdvisor – March 2019
Quaint and comfortable with great food
We stayed in a superior room. It was really comfortable with a canopied bed. The floorboards creaked, well they would as the Hotel is 200 years old and designed by Brunel. It had a lovely bathroom, well stocked with toiletries. Tea and coffee facilities in the room were good, even ground coffee. The best part of the stay is the food. They provide everything from cream teas to some of the dishes I have ever tasted for dinner. The menu caters for all tastes. The puddings are amazing. Breakfast is another feast for the senses. Another extensive menu. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Short break
Arrived at 10.15 in the morning for a nights stay. We realised we couldn’t check in until later but the friendly receptionist allowed us to store our bags. We then went into the bar and ordered our cream tea( included in stay). Had yummy scones and cream which set us up for a lovely day in Bath with a visit to spa. When we checked in later we had a delightful light room overlooking station. Beds very comfortable with crisp white linen. Our evening meal was excellent and very relaxed. Breakfast in the morning was of the same standard. I can fully recommend a stay at this hotel with its great location and welcoming staff.

LOVELY ELEGANT HOTEL
Great location right opposite the station. Our twin room was quiet and comfortable and contained everything we needed A very good breakfast is served and all the staff were charming. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Birthday weekend in Bath
Great location, only minutes away from everything. Staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. Room was comfortable. Food was brilliant. Can highly recommend this hotel for our say in Bath. Very small car park which should be booked before arrival.

Night Away
We have been to this hotel many a time for a drink or a snack but have never stayed the night until this weekend. We booked a double room with breakfast at a really good price by ringing direct to the hotel

Gem of a hotel
Lovely weekend with friends under a dinner, bed and breakfast deal. Hotel has a lot of character, clean and staff friendly. Food was amazing. Location couldn’t have been more central. Will definitely book here again on any future trip to Bath.

Location location location
Not only the location of the hotel, but the staff, the food and the comfort of the bedrooms are all of a very high standard. The hotel is ideal situated for the train station and shopping centre close around the corner. Yes the floorboards make a noise, but that comes with character of the building, and did not disturb our stay.
TripAdvisor – March 2019
Very comfortable stay
My sister made a last-minute booking for a twin room at this hotel and on arrival we were immediately impressed by the warm welcome we were given by the receptionist Tim. He had such a friendly yet efficient manner and we could see that he enjoyed his job and thought well of the hotel and really wanted to ensure that we were happy staying here. Our bedroom was very clean and comfortable and well-equipped as was the large modern bathroom. The breakfast choice and quality was excellent. It was very pleasing to see the manager mingling with the guests in the lounge bar to check that all was well for them, and to hear how he rewards his staff who have nice comments made about them on both the room comment sheets and online reviews

Another really lovely stay at the Royal!
My adult daughter and I try to come to this hotel at least once a year. We love everything about it. The staff on reception are so warm, helpful and welcoming. The hotel itself is very convenient for the railway station and staff are happy to keep luggage for you when you check out. The rooms are clean and have exactly what we need for our mini-break. The cooked breakfasts are a real treat – I always look forward to the porridge followed by the vegetarian special. There is a good range of evening meals to suit everyone. The building itself is so special and atmospheric we can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Bath. Thank you.
TripAdvisor – February 2019
Mini break
Had a 2 night mini break deal at this hotel which included bb & evening three course evening meal. Its an old hotel and the floor boards reflect that in their creaking as you walk around the room and corridors, this didn’t affect our stay however as the staff were excellent as was the food. Full English on offer for breakfast with a buffet of fruit, cereals and various yogurt + a choice of fruit juices, you could have kippers and other egg configurations so plenty to choose from which certainly set you up for the day. Evening meal had a great menu with Tiger prawns, pate, onion soup and a soup of the day for starters. Mains again a good selection from lamb (which I had, perfect) to shoulder of beef or sea bass and the choice of various steaks, there was also a vegetarian option. Dessert had apple crumble, sticky toffee pudding, Eton mess and finished off with cheese board glass of port and coffee. We couldn’t fault any of the food we had and seemed the same opinion of other guests we spoke to. The Royal was great for discovering Bath on foot and for us situated across the road from the railway station very convenient. The room itself was just what we needed had ensuite facilities and tea and coffee. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and have no problem recommending this hotel for a short stay in Bath.
TripAdvisor – February 2019
How it should be
I can highly recommend The Royal. Excellent service from all personnel. Room was good and the food even better. Superb sirloin steak and Apple Tarte delicious. Good beer and wine and next-door to railway and bus stations.
TripAdvisor – February 2019
Ideal for my needs
Just a one night stay in a single room but was just what I needed for a family visit. Perfect location as was arriving by train, single room had everything I needed and I enjoyed the friendly service from check in to check out. The highlight for me is the breakfast, included in the (very reasonable) room rate and with an extensive range of cooked options, toast in a toast rack and real tea leaves in a teapot, like going back in time. Not the first and won’t be my last visit.
TripAdvisor – February 2019
Traditional comfort
My wife and I really like this hotel. It’s traditional comfort contrasts favourably with the more anonymous international standard type hotel. Friendly and helpful staff, well equipped rooms, fun bar and great traditional breakfast. And don’t forget its historic past and great location just seconds from the train station.
TripAdvisor – February 2019
Highly recommended
A fantastic hotel with character. From the moment that I booked my rooms over the phone right up until our departure I couldn’t fault it. All the staff we came across were very accommodating and friendly and the hotel itself had a homely feel. Great selection at breakfast time, with the hot food being cooked at the time of order. Brilliant location for the city centre and train station and to top it all, even though the hotel is located near these areas there was no noise at night

Just everything here is LUSH! Comfy room, fab location, great food, cosy, fantastic service. Can’t wait to come again.

My daughter & I had a one night stay & found it the perfect place to stay for shopping & eating out in Bath, really convenient. Very comfortable room & according to the sleep tracker on my Fitbit I had the best night’s sleep for months! Yes the floorboards creak but it’s an interesting old building & only to be expected. The man on reception couldn’t have been more helpful, I didn’t notice his name but he was there Sunday 10th/Mon 11th & he really deserves to be recognised for his friendly & helpful service. He obviously enjoys his job & is a credit to you. Please say thank you to him. Would definitely stay again!
TripAdvisor – February 2019
Astonishingly good!
A lovely hotel with character! Lovely location, 2 minutes walk to the city center and main objects of interest in bath – the thermals, along with historical Roman baths. Stayed in the small double for two nights and enjoyed it very much! Room was clean and cosy, with everything that could be possibly needed included. A very comprehensive tea/coffee selection was a lovely touch. Food in the restaurant was great, they truly are grill experts. The steak is one of the best ones that I ever had. While all staff were friendly and polite, Tim was the one who made our stay exceptional! Extremely friendly, extremely helpful, all problems and requests were solved in a blink of an eye! If there were Oscars for hotel hosts, Tim would have won it with a landslide! A true heart of this wonderful hotel! Thank you very much, we will definitely be coming back soon!!

My wife and I met up with friends for a two night stay at the Royal Hotel in January 2019. From start to finish the staff were lovely and could not have been more helpful;. Our room was comfortable and very nicely furnished. We ate dinner on both the nights we stayed in the restaurant and were very impressed by the quality of the dishes we chose. I would particularly recommend the baked camembert starter. Breakfast was equally impressive and we can honestly say our stay in the Hotel which is conveniently located in the City centre contributed greatly to a very satisfying couple of days in Bath. Many thanks.

A beautiful hotel in the centre of Bath
What a gem. We were a group of 5, meeting up for a nostalgic 3 day visit to Bath. All the hotel staff were fantastic… so helpful and friendly. The rooms were lovely…..quite old fashioned but really comfortable….and such a change from the clinical modern hotel rooms. Lots of tea & coffee in the room and chocs each day on the bed. The food was amazing…beautifully presented and served by super friendly staff. Bar area was really comfortable with lovely background music playing at a perfect volume. The location is perfect for easy walking to the main tourist spots in Bath, right opposite the train and bus stations, but the hotel also has nearby private parking spaces which we used. Cannot praise this hotel enough. Hope you enjoy it as much as we all did.
TripAdvisor – February 2019
Character hotel with perfect location
We loved our room on the third floor, comfortable bed and quality duvet. Cannot fault this hotel in any way. Delicious food and staff that made you feel very welcome. Hope to return when we next visit Bath or go to a show at the Bristol Hippodrome. Also they have a loyalty card which gives a discount on future stays.

This hotel is in the right place for everywhere!
Whilst the hotel has a dated look it fits in beautifully in Bath and is in the best place for everything. The staff go out of their way to help and advise you and whilst we only had a snack of cheesy garlic bread when they only had garlic bread on their menu it was the best I ever tasted, compliments to the chef.. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back and highly recommend this hotel.

Birthday stay at The Royal
The Royal is a beautiful period hotel within walking distance of the centre of Bath. The room was very nice, the evening meal was superb and the breakfast was very good. All of the staff were very welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful. I would recommend having a meal in the Brasserie, the menu is French inspired and the food was exceptional, along with the service.

My birthday treat
My friends treated me to a two night stay at the Royal Hotel in Bath. We had the best time there. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The accommodation was clean and facilities were brilliant. Our evening meals were excellent and we could not speak more highly of Oliver and Mike who helped to make our dining experience amazing. Will definitely be staying at The Royal again.

A lovely traditional and historic hotel for a short break in this beautiful city, situated right opposite the railway station in the town centre, so ideal for sightseeing and shopping. A friendly welcome at Reception and excellent service from restaurant staff on both nights. Our room was clean, warm and comfortable, and we were delighted with the choice and quality of the breakfast and dinner menus. The hotel offers various short break deals and we will definitely be returning for another visit as we had such a great time. Many thanks.

We planned a weekend break at last minute and were lucky to find such a friendly place the staff could not be more helpful to us particularly the young man on reception this was 5star service even if it was 3star hotel. The hotel had restaurant which we tried excellent food especially the homemade soup the breakfast was equally as tasty and fresh toast was provided by staff as all hot food delivered to your table quickly and well cooked I had a full English breakfast next day scrambled eggs and smoked salmon all so smoothly and plenty of choices of fruit juices coffee was very good to when in the area again will definitely be going back

Excellent stay in a proper independent British Hotel
Stayed on a Saturday to enjoy Bath for an afternoon and then the Thermae Bath Spa on the Sunday. Location is excellent just opposite the station and approx 5 mins to the Spa along with the rest of the city centre. Dined for lunch and then breakfast with the food being excellent on both occasions. Room very comfortable and clean. Of particular note was how hospitable all the staff were, from reception to bar and dining room, really made the stay. As and when we stay in Bath again we will definitely look to stay here again.

Excellent location, hospitality and comfort
We arrived by train and found the hotel situated right opposite the station entrance. We were greeted at reception by a very enthusiastic, polite gentleman who looked after our cases until our room was ready, he advised us what to do and see while in Bath. Our room was very clean, airy with a very comfortable four poster bed. The ensuite was also very clean and very spacious. The breakfast was very enjoyable and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. We would definitely stay here again and give it an excellent rating.

The staff and the excellent food make this hotel . Rooms are basic but clean but the staff in the restaurant Dionne & Hyanda (not sure I have spelt it or pronounced right) and the two other women in the restaurant were very attentive and so so friendly . The food is very very good , and the quality is excellent. Great location and a very good new year break , would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely go back

Christmas Break
This was our first visit to the Royal Hotel and we were so impressed we have already booked for Christmas 2019. We booked on the three-night Christmas package and from the start to the end of our stay we could not fault it in any respect. The staff could not have been more friendly and worked really hard to ensure guests had a relaxed stay, nothing was too much for them, the food was of a very high standard and the service was excellent throughout. Although we drove, the proximity of the hotel to both the station, car parking and the historic centre of Bath are definite plus-points

Lovely Christmas break
This was the first time we had booked a Christmas break directly with the hotel. Very friendly and welcoming greeting on arrival. We were very impressed with the food, service and rooms. All the staff were friendly and helpful. ..when I commented to staff what a great team they had one person said the hotel was a good place to work which we felt was was a good recommendation in itself. We were initially surprised we had to pre-book most mealtimes, but this again showed good organisation on their part as we did not wait for meals and all vegetables were fresh. Overall A brilliant break, and excellent value for money. We will return in the future.

Delightful Stay
This is a very sweet hotel, the staff are lovely, friendly and willing to help. You feel you are getting a personal service so often lacking in the big chain hotels. We stayed with their dinner bed & breakfast offer which was, in our opinion, very good value & both meals were most enjoyable. It is very convenient both for the station & The sights of Bath.

Polite and quaint
Have just spent a wonderful 2 night stay in this hotel. Bed, breakfast and dinner. Great food, really great food! The food in the brasserie was excellent. Every member of staff polite, friendly and cheerful. This is a lovely hotel in a period property, so expect creaky floors. Tastefully decorated, high ceilings, tea and real cafetiere coffee in our room. Clean room and en suite bathroom, comfy bed, plenty of plugs for charging phones and a lift to all floors. The staircase is interestingly quirky, I’ve never navigated one like it before! The location is great. Right next to the railway station. Step out of the front door and the shops, restaurants, museums and many of the historic sites are an easy stroll away. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely stay here again when I visit Bath.

Everything we were looking for
We arrived by train and spotted the hotel immediately as we emerged from the station. We were in our room within minutes. The hotel is decorated in a traditional style that seems very much in keeping with the history of Bath. Our room had a 4-poster bed, two comfortable chairs and plenty of room for our belongings. The bathroom was bright and clean with all the necessary amenities. We enjoyed drinks in the popular bar and dinner in the restaurant. For breakfast there’s a buffet with juices, fruit, yogurt and breads along with options for a cooked breakfast. All the staff were unfailing pleasant and efficient. We stayed three nights. We would like to have stayed longer.

Just spent two (v wet ) days in beautiful Bath for The Christmas Market…
As of the last few years – if I extend my visit to this wonderful city from a day trip to a modest 36 hours or more mini-break, I now always stay at the Royal Hotel. Besides being so conveniently situated for both railway and coach arrival and departure – and located so centrally to most of the ‘must do and see’ things that Bath has to offer – all the staff are always so very welcoming and helpful, and after having enjoyed a refreshing 3 hour session at the Thermae Spa – were really great about fitting me in at a good time for a really delicious 3 course dinner – at short notice – so that I could get to see the play that I’d booked at the marvellous Theatre Royal on the evening of my first day. Accommodation (single room) was clean and cosy, with everything that I needed, and breakfast the next morning (thank goodness I’d had dinner so early the evening before !) was as always a great way to begin a hard days’ Christmas shopping . It’s also a lovely place to stay at ANY time of year………

Great stay
I have just returned from a two day stay at The Royal with my two sisters. We were extremely happy with all aspects of the hotel. The leisure spa deal that we had booked was amazing value and exceeded expectations including two days bed and breakfast two evening meals a cream tea pressed and 2 hours at the spa. We have enjoyed every aspect of it and would highly recommend this deal and The Royal Hotel. The staff our helpful friendly and professional. Special shout out to Heidi on reception what a wonderful welcome she gives and clear information. Thank you

Fabulous hotel opposite the station
First time at the hotel and spent a night on a Bed breakfast and evening meal basis to see the first night of the Bath Christmas Markets extravaganza. Wonderful Georgian hotel built by Brunel but kept in splendid condition located opposite the train station – cars just don’t work in Bath!.. On arrival at 12 noon our room was unsurprisingly not available but we were immediately offered locked storage for our luggage. Nicely furnished, luxury corner room with over-sized duvets. Lovely restaurant named the Brunel Brasserie where, well trained staff provided the menu as we had a drink in the bar. Most unusually our BB&E status did not limit us to any fixed price allowance or fixed menu – we had carte blanche to select any of the meals on the menu. Being slightly piggy I ordered the 8oz sirloin steak and it was wonderful as was the starter and pudding course. The food was faultless and the staff were particularly attentive without being over the top. Breakfast was again excellent where we were next to a couple obviously enjoying the wife’s birthday.I would unhesitatingly recommend both the hotel and its Brunel Brasserie.

A lovely hotel, staff are very friendly. The rooms are decorated nicely. The food is amazing! They cater for gluten free people and have a good choice. Gluten free toast is available at request.

A stone’s throw from the train station and shops!

I stayed here one night. It was great. What I liked about the hotel was the room size, how clean the room was, speed of signing in, massive breakfast options, signing out and friendly staff. The location of the hotel is fantastic, right by the city centre, the cathedral is a 10 min walk, all the shops are 5 mins. The price was a bargain. I’d stay here again.

Once again an excellent stay
After yet another stay at this lovely Hotel i will attempt another review but i expect it will sound a bit like my other reviews. First of all the staff were once again smart efficient friendly polite and welcoming. Our room was 103 which we requested and were very kindly allocated (Thanks Tim)
Our room was spacious spotless with a large bathroom. A good sized tv and coffee and tea making facilities with a good supply of tasty biscuits. The Hotel itself is tastefully decorated with the Dining Room very ornate and spotlessly clean. The Brunel Lounge is also a nice place to relax and chill again spotless. A big plus to my mind was the toilets which are very clean and fresh (clean toilets mean clean establishment in my opinion) The food was tasty fresh and nicely presented by staff who really know the meaning of the words good service. The menus for both breakfasts and main meals are extensive. You really are spoilt for choice. The location of the Royal is ideal for trains buses and shopping. All I can say to Mike and all your very professional staff thank you very much once again for making our stay in Bath such a wonderful experience and you can rest assured we will be staying with you again. Don’t change anything and keep up the good work.

Our second visit was just as good as our first!
We re-visited the Royal Hotel last week, and brought a group of 16 friends with us for a 5 night City break coupled with Bridge sessions each evening. As usual, the Hotel staff looked after us superbly and we even had exclusive use of the Isambard lounge for our Bridge tournaments. Starting with the cream tea on Sunday afternoon the restaurant provided some excellent food and wine throughout with a really superb gala dinner, which we had pre-arranged, towards the end of our visit. The bedrooms are all different in size but everyone seemed very happy with the quality of the furnishings and the overall cleanliness. However, it was the friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff which really made our holiday go with a swing and Mike the manager was a legend! With its extremely convenient situation opposite the main Railway station and Hop on / Hop off bus stops more or less outside the door we thoroughly enjoyed all of the tours, as well as the river and canal side walking and sightseeing that his beautiful city has to offer. We can thoroughly recommend this lovely Hotel and hope very much to return in the future.

2 day spa break
We booked a 2 night package at The Royal which included breakfast, 2 hours at The Thermae Spa and an afternoon champagne cream tea. We also booked an evening meal in advance taking advantage of the reduced rate if we did. All the food was excellent quality. All the staff were welcoming and friendly and helped with any questions we had. The room was comfortable. All the city centre attractions were within walking distance. It was a bonus being able to book a designated parking space which you had to pay for. The cost of the package was excellent value I would be happy to return.

A great place to meet for a reunion or for a weekend in Bath
The Royal stands opposite the station so is easily accessible for those travelling by rail and it is an easy walk to places of interest in Bath or to take a river trip. Considering its central position it is not a noisy hotel and is easily accessible with a lift. Breakfasts are cooked to order and unless you want to find alternative places to dine, then the Dinner menu is recommended

Fabulous location for Bath stay
We couldn’t fault the Royal during our 2 night visit. We travelled by train so the location was perfect for the journey and also exploring Bath itself. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful member of staff. The four-poster room was stunning and the facilities very good, including a wide variety of teas and coffee. Although we were at the front of the hotel the outside noise wasn’t an issue for us. The first evening, after a lovely walk in and around Bath, we decided to stay in the 1846 bar to enjoy the 2 for 1 cocktail offer and bar food which was reasonably priced and delicious (fish finger baguette and burger). The second evening we wished to dine in the Brasserie Brunel and were advised to book and were very glad we did as saw others being turned away. The meal was lovely (salmon for me and steak for my partner) and the service was excellent. Overall the food at The Royal was faultless and the varied breakfast menu was wonderful, especially for us veggies where choice can be limited. Wish we could have stayed a week so all dishes could be sampled. We spent two fabulous days in Bath, where the hotel is ideally located to visit the main attractions and also take leisurely walks along the river/canal. A 50th birthday I won’t forget and we can’t wait to return. PS a bottle of bubbly was arranged for our room after a phone call from my mother-in-law which was a lovely surprise

Spa break
Just returned from a 2 night Spa Package at The Royal. The Hotel is right opposite the train station and has 6 car parking spaces available to book which we did at £8.50 per 24 hours. The Hotel is wonderful, with lots of great features and creaky floors, all the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room 201 was lovely, the room was at the back of the hotel with a really large bathroom. Housekeeping had left chocolates on our bed for my husbands birthday which was a special touch. We ate in the hotel restaurant on our first night and the food was great. Lots of choice and cooked to perfection. We had Thermae Bath tickets included in the package which we did and on our return to the hotel enjoyed a cream scone and a glass of champagne. Happy hour cocktails in the bar from 5pm were really good too. Breakfast was plentiful again with a good selection. I loved the Hotel location and it was in walking distance to all the sites, shops, bars and restaurants. We will definitely be returning. Thank you

Can’t go wrong
Great place to stay right across the road from train station. Really welcoming staff and lovely room. Was larger than expected with big bathroom. Had evening meal in restaurant which was really nice. Lots of choice and left us alone to enjoy our meal. Breakfast the next morning was plentiful you could not go hungry that’s for sure. All in all can’t fault this hotel & will definitely return soon

End of Cotswold Way perfection
From the initial booking phone call, to the final checkout, the staff were all extremely helpful and polite, however busy it got. The room was just what we were looking for with a bath to rest weary limbs. The bistro offer for guests was also very welcome and worth every penny. As for location, there are none closer to the rail and bus links and with mere seconds walks to the main town access also. All in all a great short stay in a very well managed hotel.

Royal Hotel Bath
Lovely historic building in the heart of Bath. Staff were extremity helpful and friendly, with great advice on where to visit and how to get there, reception especially during our check-in had time to explain everything to us. Great selection for breakfast also.

Gorgeous historical hotel
Recently stayed at this lovely listed building hotel, designed by Brunel. All staff are helpful and friendly, plus have a lot of knowledge of where to visit. The rooms are immaculate and comfortable. Tea and coffee available in the rooms, including ground coffee if you want fresh coffee. The breakfast is made to order and has a full range of options to choose from and is delicious. The hop on, hop off us is less than a minute away and you can walk to the Roman Baths/Pump Rooms in less than 10mins. Love this hotel and will be back.

Amazing service!!!
I visited your hotel on 25th of June with a friend! We had fish and chips and drinks at the bar!

Thank you and we’ll definitely come back!

5-day break in Bath in May
The Royal Hotel is perfectly located for a visit to Bath. It’s literally opposite the railway station, and only a short walk to the centre of the city. The hotel staff were welcoming from the minute we walked in, and remained so for the whole of our stay. Any enquiries were dealt with promptly and efficiently, and everyone was friendly and very helpful, especially the lovely Tim, who went out of his way to ensure we had a great time. We ate twice in the Brasserie Brunel and greatly enjoyed the meals. Excellent value and a lovely break!

Visit both with old friend, group of women friends and trip with elderly mother!
Excellent value and friendly and attentive staff. Right opposite station which is very useful. Walking distance to all sights etc. The food in the restaurant is both delicious and plentiful and the breakfasts don’t leave you hungry either! Go while you can!
TripAdvisor – June 2018
Very convenient location, fitted the bill!
Stayed here for one night and chose it for two reasons; one it’s location opposite train station and price for a triple room as visiting with my two daughters and wanted to share a room. We found it suited us well. It was the hottest day of the year so far but we had a room that faced an internal courtyard and was cool. We had comfortable beds and good sized bathroom. Ironing board, hairdryer etc a TV that was not too large and bottled water in room. Breakfast was efficient & friendly and there was a good choice. We all enjoyed the vegetarian option. Check out was 11 a.m. – a handy time if you are catching a train. We were close to the river and park – in fact location was perfect. We had a 5 minute walk to the Theatre. This hotel is good value and an ideal base for exploring Bath.
TripAdvisor – May 2018
Highly recommended – friendly and comfortable Hotel in good location
We recently enjoyed a short stay at the Royal Hotel choosing to return after having stayed there on a previous occasion. The whole staff team were very friendly, helpful, professional and clearly good at what they do. The breakfast was very good – choice and quality, and service amazing. The room – a superior twin on this occasion was very good – comfortable, clean, well organised with good decoration. Hot water – for shower / bath readily available – dressing gowns and slippers were very appreciated. Room management staff replaced towels and consumables efficiently without the need to ask. Location excellent for stepping into the heart of the City! Wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else now when we visit Bath …. which we will be doing before too long.

Great location
We stayed in a small room with a comfortable bed. The location was great and only a short walk from the train station. (Literally across the road!)
The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. They were happy to hold our bags prior to our check in and after we had checked out too. The breakfast was great too! I like that you can choose any of the hot menu options and have the continental breakfast as well.
TripAdvisor – May 2018
Fabulous stay, made special by the wonderful staff.
A lovely quirky hotel, centrally located. During a ladies get away we made completely welcome by Mike and Tim on reception. However, throughout the stay every single member of staff encountered we’re welcoming, friendly and warm. The food was great and we are looking forward to returning for our third visit to this charming hotel.

Stayed here for birthday celebration around Bath
Lovely hotel. Staff were really helpful from making the booking through to checking out and giving directions of places/bars to visit. location was really good and being opposite the train station was perfect to drop luggage straight off. We were able to also leave luggage at hotel so we could make the most of the last day before heading back on train. Room was lovely and the bed was extremely comfortable. We were running late to get ready for night out so was able to call reception to order food using the room menu and they called us when the food was ready in the restaurant. Highly recommend staying at this hotel.

WOW!!! Amazing!
I bought a deal on Wowcher for 2 nights stay, breakfast both mornings, champagne, bottle of wine & dinner both nights, and cream tea, and was a bit unsure what to expect. I thought for the price I paid it might be a bit average, but cannot fault this hotel or deal in the slightest! From the moment we arrived the staff were more than happy to help. We were able to park our car earlier than originally stated, and had a bath in the room as requested! The room was really nice and had a variety of teas and coffee, as well as bottled water. The bathroom was also really big with all toiletries you needed. We had dinner included both nights and was shocked that you could have any 3 courses on the whole a la carte menu, including the grill (we expected a set menu) and also got a choice of bottle of wine. As well as this we got a glass of champagne when we sat down! I had different food both nights and it was delicious! The breakfast was the same, literally the biggest choice of hot food, pastries, cereals, fruit etc. the restaurant staff were also really helpful! The cream tea was also a lovely treat. The location of the hotel is just perfect, it is more or less on top of the station, and about a 3 minute walk into the centre (by the Roman baths) Honestly recommend this hotel to anyone, amazing, could not fault it at all!! Really made our stay!

A very enjoyable stay.
This was my first stay and I chose it because of being so convenient for the railway station however it turned out to be a very good choice for other reasons. The staff were all extremely welcoming – the room was very comfortable and clean – breakfast and dinner most enjoyable and of a very good quality. This will now be my choice of hotel for my visits to Bath.

Conveniently placed opposite Bath Spa station, yet the room was quiet. All of Bath’s attractions were within easy walking distance.

We would recommend visiting this hotel and plan to do so again.

Travelled by train and hotel right opposite station so no taxi needed! Staff all very helpful, left bags in morning before afternoon check in.

Warm, friendly and efficient staff. Great value
I can’t praise the Royal Hotel highly enough. My friend and I stayed for two nights on a Wowcher deal. The location is so convenient for the train station and the city centre and the hotel is charming and very comfortable. The dinners were truly outstanding but the best selling point for the hotel has to be the wonderful staff. The welcome is so genuinely warm and friendly and nothing is too much bother – they were all pleasant and chatty and it meant that rather than just being a place to sleep during out city break, the hotel became an integral part of a lovely break. Thank you to everyone working there and you should be very proud of the great service you provide. We look forward to a return visit.

Two night deal.

Brunel’s very own hotel, so designed by the best.
Stayed at the Royal Hotel for a long weekend. My friend and I arrived by train and the hotel is directly across the road from Bath Spa Railway Station, so no car necessary for our visit. The hotel is in the town centre and you only have to walk a few yards to get to all the necessary attractions to enjoy the Bath experience. I would recommend this hotel for it’s central location, comfortable rooms and friendly staff.

Staff are 10/12
I recently visited with my sister for a weekend and we were both thrilled with the customer service we received. We spent a large amount of our visit exploring Bath however every time we returned for the hotel we were greeted by Seb in the bar, who was 10/10, he was so easy to talk to and made us feel like were with friends. We chatted to him before and after our meal and he even gave us a big hug and wished us safe travels before we left!! We also loved chatted to Millie and Tim on reception. I cannot begin to explain how much we loved the staff here! We will definitely be returning asap!!

Lovely anniversary stay
This was our first time at the Royal Hotel, Bath having just moved near enough to visit. We booked an overnight stay to celebrate our anniversary and it couldn’t have been more perfect. It is a lovely building and very well maintained. The staff were all excellent and endlessly friendly. Room facilities were very good and the overall feel of the place is one of relaxation. Our evening meal was wonderful. There will definitely be many more stays there in the future.

Wow. Just Wow!!!
Everything about our visit to this lovely hotel was perfect, from calling the hotel to book dinner, to our actual stay. I booked this stay through a Wowcher deal and figured it was one of those ‘too good to be true’ offers. Before arrival, I called the hotel to book a table for dinner and was helped by the lovely Tim. Nothing was too much trouble and he was an absolute credit to the hotel. Some of the best customer service in have ever encountered. I emailed to ask about parking, and the lovely Heidi emailed back to say she had reserved a parking space – again, what fantastic service!!! We arrived and had been upgraded- Tim was on reception and he was just brilliant!! We had our lovely cream tea (delicious!!) Went out for a little explore of Bath, then came back to check in. Our room was just lovely. The decor was traditional and everything was spotless (Twinnings tea bags in the room – win!!) We had our dinner in the gorgeous restaurant and the waitress was brilliant. My husband makes the worst jokes and she even laughed at them (or him, I’m not sure!!!!) The food was delicious – I have to thoroughly recommend the Eton mess – OMG it was GOOD!!! Breakfast was also spot on and really set us up for the Day!!! I stay away for work a lot and it is so rare to encounter the kind of service we have had during our stay. Even the fact we had booked a deal through Wowcher made no difference to how we were treated at all. Cannot recommend the Royal Hotel enough – amazing staff, food and everything!! Keep up the good work and we will definitely be back!!!

Perfect period hotel
Stayed on a Sunday, great booking experience with a superb meal. The reception staff and the waiting team were very friendly and made this a great experience. Had a veggie meal at the hotel and it was lovely – hotel has clearly decides to stay with its period look rather than modernising like so many bland hotels and this works in its favour. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for a great experience

From start to finish the staff were wonderful and the manager even helped us dig our car out of the car park this morning! Restaurant staff both at dinner & breakfast were very attentive & helpful as were the receptionists. Food was lovely, great selection & very hot. The snow unfortunately limited our exploration of the lovely City of Bath & our cream tea at the hotel but as Arnie says “I’ll be back” lol and we will definitely be booking The Royal for our stay. Many thanks

Excellent service and food
We were stranded by the rail system; after travelling for 48 hours from Gatwick (to Westbury), we managed to get as far as Bath to be told no chance/prospect of a train home so we took a room at the Royal. A smile and a courteous welcome cheered us up. Empathy for our situation was refreshing after misinformation and indifference from railway staff. Lovely greeting & service from the barman, great food service & a lovely meal at a reasonable price. Room value pretty good for Bath too.

Ideal location for the best of Bath
Adjacent to the Railway station, this hotel is ideally positioned or the short term visitor to Bath. The open top bus stops almost outside and it is a short walk to the Roman Baths and the main shopping area. The service was excellent the room was attractive and comfortable. We had dinner there on two consecutive nights and was very pleased the whole experience was positive and we will return

Birthday treat
What an excellent Birthday stay on all counts. This was our first visit to this hotel and will certainly not be our last. Our room was very nice, spotlessly clean and warm. Afternoon tea enjoyed by us both, leaving room for our superb dinner in the evening. The menu choice was excellent and staff just made us feel so special. Our breakfast was equally as good, completing our perfect overnight stay.
TripAdvisor – February 2018
Superb service and food at a realistic price
We normally have four or five short breaks in different hotels every year, and thought the Royal Hotel in Bath was really excellent. We expected to find a traditional but slightly run down Victorian hotel but in fact the rooms and facilities were in very good decorative order. The staff were without exception professional and very friendly and we were made to feel extremely welcome. Our room was very comfortable and well-equipped. We were on the third (top) floor and perhaps the only downside was the size of the lift, which only took two people at a time. The quality of the food was very good indeed, and there was a good choice on the menu. There is limited parking at the hotel but there is a public car park a couple of minutes away where parking is £12.50 for 12 hours. However, we had no problem offloading our luggage outside and then parking the car. The hotel is opposite Bath Spa Station and just a five minute walk from the Abbey and Roman Baths. We shall certainly be paying another visit.
TripAdvisor – February 2018
Central Location excellent for exploring Bath
From the time we checked in to checking out our experience at this Hotel was very good.
The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful and explained how to find the hotel car park which we had booked (just 6 spaces available). Our room (309) was spacious and well appointed with a sofa and two chairs as well as the double bed. The wardrobe had plenty of coat hangers and there was lots of drawer space. Plenty of tea, coffee, milk etc, all replenished daily along with a bottle of water. The bathroom was quite large with a bath and shower over it, nice quality toiletries and the welcome bonus of bathrobes and slippers. The menu at dinner offered a good choice and the food was hot and good quality, it was the same at breakfast. We did have a bar meal for lunch one day and that was good too. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful we felt “nothing would be too much trouble”. It was my wife’s birthday while we were staying here and when we got back to our room in the afternoon the Housekeeping staff had spelt HB with chocolates in foil on the bed. We are well travelled both in this country and Europe and we considered this hotel was very good value for money and unlike some other reviewers we felt the standard of service was good.

Staff are truly an asset to this hotel!
I am not usually one for leaving reviews however I just had to about our weekend in Bath!! First of all the city and the hotel are beautiful, such a nice classic hotel with a warm feel to it. Throughout our stay the staff we’re wonderful and charming (so rare to see now). I would like to point our two members of staff in particular first of is receptionist Millie/Milly (not sure, soz lol) she was so wonderful on check in and so polite and nice, just what we needed after the journey, and every time we can downstairs she greeted us with a smiling face and asked how we were. she is truly a wonderful young lady who will go far! The other staff is the bartender Seb, he treated us like we had known each other for years he felt like a true friend making us laugh and having private jokes with us, amazing customer service, another who I’m sure will go far. An incredible weekend, thank you to everyone at this hotel I am sure to see you soon.

Yet another excellent stay
Have just returned home after another excellent stay at The Royal. I requested Room103 and we got it. I’ve reviewed this room before and everything was as good as before. Nice clean room , good size. Comfortable bed big bathroom with shower, good size TV. The room was tastefully decorated and was very clean. The Royal is ideally situated for all attractions and shops. The bus station is just down the road about 1 minutes walk and the train station is across the road. The bar is well stocked and nice to sit in and relax. The dining room very neat and clean. The breakfasts are delicious. We didn’t have Lunch or Dinner in the Hotel because we were out all day. We have had Dinner in the Hotel on a previous visit and the food is excellent. There are stairs or a lift you can use for access to all floors. I noticed how clean and fresh the Hotel smelt, Another point in its favour. Finally a huge thank you to all the staff for making our stay a thoroughly enjoyable experience. They are all polite, friendly and welcoming and smartly dressed. Nothing was too much trouble for them. My wife, Gwen and I look forward to visiting Bath again and we will definitely stay at the Royal again

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Royal Hotel. Great value for money via an online deal. Staff were very friendly and attentive, food was excellent . Great location with train station just over the road and if you’re there to see the town of Bath the sightseeing bus stops right outside. Even though you have all this going on so close to the hotel the rooms are quiet . Would highly recommend a stay here

Wonderful stay
Stayed 4/2/18 on a Travelzoo package which included cream tea, 3 course dinner with a glass of champagne and breakfast the following morning. On arrival our room wasn’t ready but we were taken to the bar and given complimentary drinks of our choice and was then upgraded to a lovely large, light room at the front of the hotel. The room was lovely with a four poster bed, lovely linen, fresh fruit, water with lots of tea and coffee. The TV had Netflix available and there is free internet. The bathroom was well equipped, immaculately clean with plentiful hot water. The staff are very nice, helpful and professional. The food was excellent. 2 scones each with the cream tea, full access to everything on the menu at dinner (perfectly cooked 10oz Sirloin steak) and a great breakfast selection. The hotel is directly by the shopping centre, a few minutes from the Abby and Roman Baths and about 10 minutes to the Crescent. Parking is limited at the hotel so advise you to book it when you book the hotel. If not, there is a car park near the hotel although it is expensive. Our only disappointment was that we hadn’t booked to stay for extra nights. Highly recommend.

We stayed in an upgraded room via a Wowcher package with a cream tea and evening meal. The Royal is a Victorian hotel with décor and furnishings to match.

Cozy in style
Really lovely place! And lovely staff! Heidi at reception is just perfect! Sweet and kind; she gave us a warm welcome! Always smiling and asking how our day was! The hotel has an excellent location from train station, and to Paradise garden. The rooms are a lovely British style, and that was what we were looking for. Thank you very much!

Lovely hotel
Stayed one night at this hotel in January 2018 with my daughter. Our room was very spacious with a gorgeous en-suite bathroom. We had a three course meal at the hotel in the evening which was delicious. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Visiting Bath
The hotel is centrally placed right opposite the train station and you couldn’t be closer to the Shops, so close we could keep taking our shopping back :). You are also a stones throw from the Roman Baths, Abbey and Sally Lunn’s. Rooms have everything you could need including tea and coffee facilities. The staff could not do enough for you from the moment you arrived to the moment you left.

Very enjoyable stay
My first impression of the hotel was formed on the telephone. I made several phone calls to reception and on each occasion my query was dealt with friendliness and efficiency so it was no surprise when on arrival at the Royal we received a warm welcome. Our stay was very pleasant, room comfortable and quiet, food (breakfast, bar lunch and dinner) was very good and the bar made a nice place to sit and chat to friends. All the staff were extremely helpful and all seemed to enjoy their job. We were glad to have taken advantage of the hotel car park.

The customary warm welcome at the Royal
A solidly run hotel, which does an old fashioned job very well indeed, friendly staff, good food, and remarkable value in an expensive town. The Royal is at the opposite end of the scale from hip new boutique hotels – but it always has that unmistakable air of a place full of people very happy at their choice, many of them serial returners. It also now has very good wifi.

Excellent service and food
Just returned from a wonderful stay at the Royal Hotel Bath. We were made very welcome and the evening meal was excellent. Even though we had a special deal it made no difference to the food we ate and the accommodation we were given. Jen and I will make every effort to return in 2018. Staff excellent and kind.

Faultless
We stayed for a two day break and enjoyed our time there very much. Little things added to our enjoyment, like the proper coffee on the bedroom drinks tray, and loose leaf tea with breakfast. Our room was comfortable, and clean, with everything that we required. We found the staff a joy. Nothing as too much trouble, and they all looked as if they were enjoying their jobs. We ate dinner in the restaurant on both nights, and thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the wine. Breakfast was also good, with freshly prepared hot food. I would thoroughly recommend the hotel, and will probably pay another visit.
TripAdvisor – December 2017
Warm and welcoming traditional hotel in a fantastic location.
If you are travelling by train this hotel is perfect, as it is just across the road from the station. They have a left luggage room so you can pick up your case on your way back to the station. Our room was comfortable, warm and clean. We stayed on a dinner, bed and breakfast rate and it was good value. Both dinner and breakfast were very nice. The rib eye steak was absolutely superb. The wine was very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were very happy with our stay and recommend the Royal Hotel.

Still a lovely hotel
I stayed here two years ago to attend the Bath Christmas market and gave this hotel a favorable review. It is just as wonderful, if not more so, and the staff is courteous and extremely helpful. It is my go-to place to stay in Bath.

Christmas/Anniversary break
Just back from a lovely couple of days staying on a xmas markets break at the Royal hotel arrived to a very friendly welcome and staff had remembered it was an anniversary break too for us with chocolates in our room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay the food was exceptional the staff extremely helpful and lovely Bath itself is a very beautiful place to visit and we will definitely return
TripAdvisor – December 2017
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
This is a great location to visit the Christmas market. We arrived a couple of hours early but the receptionist was very helpful and locked our luggage away for us. Parking is restricted so I would recommend contacting the hotel before your visit and reserving a space – excellent value for £8 a day. The hotel is very comfortable and we had a lovely room. Don’t be put off being opposite the railway station – our room was at the front and we were not disturbed at all. We all enjoyed the restaurant. The menu offered plenty of choice and was complimented by a good wine list – the lamb was superb washed down with a very nice Malbec. We don’t often visit Bath but next time we do I would not hesitate to stay here again – thank you.
TripAdvisor – December 2017
Bath Christmas Markets
Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were able to safely store our bags until our rooms were ready. It’s opposite Bath Spa railway station and five minutes fro the centre of Bath. The evening meal in Brunel Brasserie was wonderful and very good value. Excellent choice of continental buffet, cereal, fruit, and a varied menu of cooked breakfast available in the morning. We were able to leave our bags again until it was time for our train. All rooms en suite and rooms are decorated to reflect the age of the building. Would happily stay again.

Ideal hotel in central Bath
This was our third and longest stay at the Royal (three nights). We acquired a loyalty card on our previous visit which gave us a discount this time. We booked the Classic Spa Package but for three nights instead of the normal two, which did mean the room rate was little higher, but for a bed in Bath city centre during the Christmas Market it was great value. Our package included a comfortable room with real coffee among the in-room refreshments, an excellent breakfast with hot items cooked to order and cold items available from the buffet, tickets for the Thermae Bath Spa and a Champagne cream tea. We had the cream tea on the afternoon we arrived and it was a lovely start to a relaxing holiday. The staff here are really friendly and helpful. For example we arrived early and could not check in as our room was not ready (they’d have let us in if it had been) and without being asked they offered to take our luggage so that we could come back later without having to take it with us. Nothing seemed too much trouble during our entire stay. This is a city centre hotel overlooking the railway station and yet we had no difficulty with noise and had three great nights’ sleep. It could not be handier for the rail station or, if you need them, local bus services. I like that it is a traditional hotel but with modern conveniences and I like the bustle of the bar which is clearly used by people after work and/or with time to spare before their trains. A decent range of cocktails is available and we enjoyed a couple of seasonal cocktails after our evening visit to the spa. After all these stays we still have not yet tried the restaurant at the hotel, other than for breakfast, so a review of that will have to wait for the next visit!

Ideal location for Christmas market
Excellent location, directly across the road from railway station. Our third visit to this old but charming hotel. Room was very spacious and very clean. The dining room is very pleasant. Breakfast menu is good with a excellent evening dinner menu. Staff in the dining room are very friendly. The reception staff make you feel very welcome.

Fabulous Classic Spa Break
This hotel is great. Fantastic history attached to it. The location is central and near the station. The open top tour bus stops outside. We opted for the classic spa break which was excellent value. Superior rooms excellent, even included ground coffee. Lovely bedding. towels and comfy beds. Food in the restaurant very good, evening meal and breakfast good quality. we will definitely be back……. highly recommended

Wonderful!!
My wife and I had a 2 night break and loved every minute. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The reception manager deserves a special thank you and the bar and restaurant staff. We stayed in a four poster bed room which was very clean and had all we needed for a great stay. We had a breakfast and evening meal package and the food was beautiful (pea risotto and steak were magic). Being right in the city, we had everything at our fingertips. Altogether a truly wonderful weekend!! We can’t wait to visit Bath again and would not hesitate to stay at The Royal again. Perfect.

Just returned from 2 night break using wowcher deal which included cream tea, champagne and bottle of wine with dinner and full English breakfast. Fabulous stay we upgraded to four poster and paid extra to park car. Staff were polite and courteous at all times. We really enjoyed the food both in the evening and the cooked breakfast . We will be back ! Well done Mike , Heidi and the team.

Two night midweek break
Stayed on Wowcher deal and it was very good value for money. All the staff were very friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. Food was good and plenty of choice. Travelled by train so location opposite the train station was very handy. Walked around all sites and even around the canal path after talking to the receptionist. Room comfortable and clean with usual tea coffee and toiletries. Would definitely return. Thanks for a lovely experience.

A MUST NEEDED BREAK
My husband and I are regular visitors to the Royal in Bath. Using the Loyalty card has been great for us. It’s certainly value for money. The building is old but that is part of its charm. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are very welcoming and professional. The location of the hotel is perfect for shoppers and the many attractions that Bath has to offer. The food is beautifully and lovingly prepared. You can book a parking space when booking over the phone. The spaces are limited, so if you book well in advance the chance is you will secure a car space. It’s close to the train and bus station. Tour buses are adjacent to the hotel. I can highly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of staying.

Staying at the Royal on the 12th 13th November
We used a wowcher deal for the first time so didn’t expect too much !! Wow we were really surprised. We arrived early by train and the hotel was opposite no wandering around looking for it. Reception were great looking after our luggage while we explored Bath. They were welcoming and very helpful. We came back in the afternoon for our cream tea, Lovely!!! and booked in. Our room was clean and fresh with a great hostess tray and the bed was like sleeping at home. Dinner again was amazing, there was nothing on the menu we couldn’t have. All courses were enjoyed by my husband and myself along with a glass of champagne and a great bottle of wine. We felt really spoilt. Then the next morning breakfast!!! A truly award winning breakfast that you would expect in a five star hotel and not necessarily would get. All the staff were attentive without being intrusive and very pleasant.
We would recommend this hotel highly and will certainly be back and for a longer stay now we know how good it is and so convenient to the centre of Bath.

We had a two day Leisure break which is excellent value for money.The hotel is opposite the train and bus station and ideally placed within a couple of minutes walk to the shopping centre, Abbey and Roman Baths etc. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by very friendly helpful staff who treated us like friends not just guests, I wish other hotels had the same sort of staff ! The room was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed, plenty of tea and biscuits as well.
Breakfast had a good variety and hot food was cooked to order, while the dinner off the a la carte menu was excellent and included in stay. I cannot fault our stay at all and have no hesitation in recommending The Royal Hotel. A special thank you to All the staff who made it a very enjoyable few days.

It’s our 20th wedding anniversary this year plus a significant birthday and I found this hotel on offer through Wowcher. We loved it. I upgraded to a 4-poster room when I confirmed the booking some weeks ago and all was ready for us. The hotel is central, all of the staff are very welcoming and friendly (such a breath of fresh air). Our room (109) was lovely – huge comfy bed, lots of pillows, great TV, lots of tea/coffee options and huge bathroom with bath and shower. The food was lovely, with lots of menu choices and very flexible. It’s a central location so we could leave cars in the car parks – we parked in the shopping centre one which is ticket less and so easy and not overly expensive. Lovely shops. Lovely abbey – we were there for the armistice service; lovely. We’ll worth a visit and will try to go again, for longer next time.

Lovely friendly place
Stayed her with a friend for her birthday. Great location as you are right on the edge of town and only a 1 to 2 minute walk and you are in the prescient. The hotel is right next to the train station and the bus station! It is very clean and the rooms are lovely, all you need in a room for a good stay. They do have a lift to get to rooms if you have difficulty walking. The breakfast is great a real variety for food to eat. They also do lunch and evening meals. The main attractions the Abbey and Baths are only a 5-10 minute walk away and if you want to have a boat cruise that is only at the end of the road! Would stay there again

Having spent two nights at this hotel, on a special package, can recommend this hotel. Situated by the station, in amongst the shops. The staff were polite and friendly, and the food excellent, with a good selection for dinner and breakfast. Being on a special package we expected our menu choice to be restricted, but we were allowed to select anything ,without paying a supplement. Would certainly return.

Another fantastic weekend at The Royal Hotel, We arrived at 12.30 on Friday the 27th our room wasn’t ready so our luggage was stored for us while we enjoyed the city, we checked in at 3 and was made to feel very welcome, our room was just lovely with views to the front of the hotel spotlessly clean and amazingly comfy beds, we booked the evening meal in with our break which was such a great deal the choice on the menu was amazing and quality of the food perfect, the staff couldn’t have been better I don’t think we’ve ever been made to feel so welcome, oh and the rewards scheme is just the best idea !!

Good weekend in Bath
We stayed at The Royal Hotel for three nights over the weekend. The hotel is in a very convenient situation opposite the railway station and the bus station. The city centre is within easy walking distance and so are numerous restaurants and cafes. The Royal Hotel is quite an old building designed by Brunel but has been updated for modern purposes. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast in the bistro area is very good. We booked for a meal on our first evening there and had the early bird menu which was decent food and good value. Our superior double room on the top floor was roomy and comfortable with a good choice of toiletries, bottled water and tea, coffees etc. We would choose to stay in this hotel if we visited Bath again.

Just got back from Bath after staying at the Royal from 21- 23 Oct. Our room was no 103 on the first floor. The room was clean ,tidy and very tastefully decorated. It was nicely furnished and there was a good sized tv to watch. The bed was comfortable .Both my wife and myself slept well. The bathroom was big and there was a bath and a shower which is not always the case. The staff were polite, friendly ,helpful and welcoming. They were also very smartly dressed. In short a very enjoyable stay once again at this lovely hotel. We will definitely be going back..The location and everything about it is excellent. I will be asking for room 103 again. Thanks to everyone at the Royal for making our stay so enjoyable.

I picked the hotel due to its location across from the rail station. What a gem. A charming well appointed old hotel.

My wife and I will certainly be returning for another stay in the future. Recommended.

A lovely place to stay in the centre of Bath
We arrived for a two night stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary and to see the wonderful sights of Bath. We couldn’t have chosen a more friendly place, so conveniently situated with spotlessly clean rooms and lots of old fashioned charm. The whole hotel appears to have been nicely decorated recently and the bathrooms completely refitted with modern suites, so although the Royal is over 150 years old it doesn’t really show its age other than a few creaking floor boards! The only minor problem is that the lift is very small, and with an awkward staircase for a chap with a walking stick, it was difficult to manoeuvre large suitcases up and down. The Hop on Hop off buses stop directly outside the Hotel and the centre of the city is only a short stroll away with the Railway station just opposite. Although we travelled by car, we didn’t need it at all! It stayed in the small Hotel Car park throughout our visit. The restaurant was first class with delicious breakfasts and a wonderful choice of Menu for dinner offering superb quality and excellent service. The wine list was pretty good as well and not at all expensive when compared to similar establishments. We were so impressed with the Royal Hotel that we are now planning to return next year with a group of friends for a slightly longer holiday. We can highly recommend this accommodation.

Thanks for such a lovely stay and keep up the good work!!

We recently stayed at the Royal Hotel in Bath for a short mid week break.

Lovely hotel in a great location
We stayed one night in the hotel on 7th September and used it to break up a long journey to the South West. It’s conveniently located for the car park and the station. It’s olde worlde in style, and a warm and friendly feel to it. The staff were polite and friendly and volunteered advice on where to go and to eat. The beds were very comfy and breakfast was delicious. In these days of all-you-can-eat buffets, this was ordered and brought to you table. A much better experience than the scrum of a buffet service. One final thing. I left a bracelet with my grand kids names on it, in my room when I left. Not only did they find it, but they posted it back to my home. Something I was very grateful for and to my shame, didn’t get around to thanking them for afterwards .I hope they read this and accept my thanks. We would definitely book here again when we visit Bath.

Great midweek visit
Just returned from our third visit here and it never disappoints. We were on the Loyalty Special deal which was 2 nights dinner b&b with a cream tea on arrival plus a glass of champagne before dinner and a bottle of wine with the meal. Superb food with no restrictions from the a la carte menu, great choice of wines and a super brasserie atmosphere. The staff here (special mention to Heidi on reception) are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. Rooms are what you would expect from a very old 3 star establishment, we love them! Hotel right across from train and bus stations and within a couple of minutes walk to bars restaurants shops and the Spa attractions. If, like us, you like to visit Bath on a regular basis, stay here and join the loyalty scheme which gives you back 10% of your total spend which you can use in the bar or restaurant. Perfect!

The way an old hotel should be!
We came to this hotel as we are interested in Britain’s greatest engineer Brunel..and of course he designed this hotel and the Bath Railway station across the road. So its 170 years old but completely refurbished, very crisp and clean…delightful really. A trip back in time with all the modern conveniences and old fashioned charm. Very attentive staff. Plunger coffee, slippers, bath robes, feather duvets and pillows. Breakfast was delicious in the old dining room. Tell them you need a car space when booking..or you will be sent up the road a bit to the public place.

“Can’t be more central”
Walk out of the train station and cross the road. This is convenience itself. The bus station is a short stroll away, and there is a healthy plethora of eateries within a few hundred metres. It’s a small place but well kept and neatly appointed. I had a small single room in the first floor but it was ample and had a lovely bath / shower room, and was blissfully quiet for a city centre location. The breakfast was lovely and the service always polite. I’ll be back.

A very convenient location, with a car park down the road. (we didn’t book a parking space) Champagne was a fiver… delicious! The bed was very comfortable and the room was spotless.

It is very good value and certainly somewhere we would stay again.

Can I give this hotel 6 stars instead? Because I would. My flight was severely delayed so I wasn’t arriving until 1am. I emailed them to let them know that I would be late and I had an instant reply (from Candice) who was nothing but lovely and even helped me figure out the bus schedule/station. When I arrived at 1am they were so friendly in making sure I was happy with my room and comfortable. The room was small, but I loved that about it- just enough space for me for one night. The bed was so comfortable, the room spotless, and the views from the window were great. I slept so well! The breakfast was delicious, and there are plenty of options for gluten-free and/or vegetarians/vegans.
It’s right across the street from Bath Spa train station and right at city centre. I want to have this hotel everywhere I travel!

The most patient and kind desk manager Heidi
Heidi, the desk manager was the most helpful and patient person. My husband and I needed to make several calls and did not know how to dial the numbers presented. We must have approached her desk 20 times to inquire about making calls/getting change/parking, etc. Each time Heidi responded with a smile and pleasant tone. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We ate dinner and breakfast in the dining room. Delicious! If we are ever in Bath, we would stay again!

This is the Hotel for me in Bath
The hotel is very well maintained. The Reception staff are sincerely helpful and welcoming. The rooms have good facilities, lovely white crisp linen, comfy pillows and duvet. Complimentary tea and coffee, bathroom products. and free Wifi made life easier. And the electric fan a joy in hot weather AND a lift – also a joy in a Bath building. Price, considering how much I enjoyed my stay, was very fair by comparison with my experiences elsewhere. Great location and willingness to store luggage. Highly recommended but I hope that doesn’t mean I won’t be able to find a vacancy whenever I visit Bath!

Comfortable and Convenient
My friend and I had only a short time in Bath and the excellent location across from the railway station was a time saver. We came in early and the staff was gracious about storing our luggage. We checked in to a very large room with a whole seating area, which was a bonus. The hotel was quiet and the staff efficient and friendly.

“Really nice hotel, great staff”
The Royal Hotel is in an excellent location for those travelling by train (it’s exactly opposite the station!) and for accessing the City Centre and the Thermae Spa. Though not the most modern of hotels it really doesn’t matter and, actually, its delightful architecture and design adds to the feel of the place. The room was clean and tidy, as was the en suite, and the wifi was easy to access. Breakfast was great, with varied with both continental and cooked options. The best thing about this hotel, however, is its staff who were not only friendly, accommodating and polite, but funny and considerate. Particular thanks goes to Heidi who helped with a shoe-related incident that my mum had (she’ll know what I mean!) – we really appreciated her attitude, which was put mum at ease after she started to worry about having made a mess. Thanks again, Heidi! If we come to Bath again (which I hope we do) then we’ll definitely be looking at staying at The Royal.

“When in Bath stay at the Royal Hotel!”
My sister flew out from South Africa and joined me for a night at the Royal Hotel in Bath which I simply booked via the Internet. We were so very pleased when we arrived to find what a lovely hotel it is, filled with staff that go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at home. The hotel is centrally situated across the road from the rail station and close to all the tourist attractions in Bath. Our room was delightful with canopied double bed, choccies and a welcome bowl of fruit! The bathroom was large with a shower and bath and a range of delightful welcome goodies awaiting us on the shelves. Every single staff member was pleasant and courteous and professional. The dinner was an absolute delight (including our free glass of champagne!). Breakfast the next morning was just as good as we thought it would be.I heartily recommend this hotel and am happy to award it five stars!

Had a wonderful stay, as always! Recommend to all our family and friends, handing brochures to them with our pleasure!!

Great to see Heidi’s smiling face on our arrival, she’s an absolute credit to the hospitality business. All other staff were brilliant also, food was delicious as per 🙂 myself and my brother cannot wait to return next month. See you all very soon.

“Excellent stay”
This is our 4th visit to the Royal Bath Hotel. The staff are second to none, the breakfast is great and evening meal has a lovely variety and is great. The whole deal of bed, breakfast and evening meal is excellent value for money. You do not need a car as station is just across the road. Bath is fantastic and we will certainly be coming again. Thank you Heidi on reception for all your help and kindness and to Will for recommending our room, it was as you said perfect. All staff are helpful and go the extra mile which is what you want when on holiday. Thank you all. Also a thank you to the cleaning ladies who kept our room clean, tidy and always full of biscuits and drinks thank you ladies.

“Amazing trip for mums 60th”
Cannot recommend this hotel enough! The staff are a credit to this hotel. Big big thanks to everyone including Heidi for her impeccable customer service, nothing was too much trouble, so friendly and accommodating. Firstly she made sure mums surprise trip was special including the chocolates left in our room we stayed during a spell of good weather, our room was particularly warm, we found a fan in our wardrobe which turned out to be very noisy. The next morning she asked us how we slept and we mentioned the said fan. By the time we had eaten breakfast and returned to our room a new silent fan stood in its place! So to conclude Heidi is pretty amazing. Also big thanks to Alice in the restaurant who went above and beyond to cater for my gluten intolerance and her knowledge was first class. This leads onto thanks for the chef who adapted items on the menu to suit. I enjoyed all food provided and the breakfast choice is fantastic too also catering for gluten intolerance and vegetarians too. The hotel is in a great location to see the landmarks of bath… just less than 10mins walk away from Abby, spars and shops. Will definitely be returning. Thank you.

“Enjoy Bath”
Thoroughly enjoyed our one day in Bath at the Royal Hotel. Service was excellent and the room comfortable. Location was great for visiting the popular attractions of this city and the hotel is near the train station. I think it is an excellent value.

“Very comfortable!”

“Great Location”
I booked the room because it was located near the train station and was well priced. I pleasantly surprised by the nice well appointed room and full sized bathroom with a large tub. The staff was friendly and accommodating and helped me by allowing me to stow my luggage when I arrived before check-in. Would definitely stay here again if I revisit Bath.

“Friendly and Accommodating”
This is an old fashioned hotel with a lot of character and good atmosphere, partly due to the amazing staff. My daughter and I stayed with my two year old grandson and nothing was too much trouble for them. We would like to convey particular thanks to Heidi, Marion, Adam and James. The food was top-notch, of exceptional quality and the service excellent. The rooms are well equipped with everything one needs and we found our beds very comfortable with feather duvets and pillows. Authentic quality of service is rare these days but the Royal certainly has it and we will definitely return.

“Lovely Hotel in great location”
I chose this hotel for a surprise trip to Bath for my husband and I am so glad that I did. It is literally right opposite the train station which is so convenient, the staff were absolutely lovely, every person working there were so helpful and friendly. I also really appreciated the gesture of the birthday chocolates, I never even requested them but they were a lovely surprise! The rooms are really clean and I think great value for what you are getting. The breakfast is amazing! We had a brilliant trip to Bath and hope to return, when we do, we will definitely be back to this Hotel. Thank you so much

“Great Hotel for a short break in lovely Bath”
Just returned from a 2 night stay with my husband on a bed, breakfast and evening meal package. It was very good and highly recommended. The position of the hotel is ideal for central Bath sightseeing, and the all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean, well proportioned and nicely decorated. The food at both breakfast and evening meal was excellent, with a good variety of choice. I can highly recommend this hotel for a short break in Bath.

“Wonderful 2 day stay!”
Came to Bath with my daughter as her birthday treat. Wonderful hotel, very friendly staff in every area from reception to bar to dining area. Food delicious, room clean and full of character, not only did the room have proper coffee, biscuits etc but a lovely bowl of fresh fruit! It’s right opposite the railway station, so central to all attractions and centre of Bath. Such great value for money, I will certainly be recommending it to everyone. Such an enjoyable 2 days break!

“Great value for money in a great location”
A lovely, clean and friendly hotel retaining just enough of old fashioned elegance. A great welcome at reception and very pleased with the room (the tin of ‘real’ coffee is an excellent touch!). Would definitely book again.

“Excellent staff”
My husband and I stayed 5 April for our Wedding Anniversary on a Wowcher deal – we had a really fantastic stay at the Royal. It was terrific value and situated in the centre of Bath. We booked a car parking space £8.50 for 24 hours which was perfect. On arrival we had our cream tea which was most welcome and after a lovely afternoon in Bath we enjoyed our evening meal – the waiting staff were very friendly and efficient, which is refreshing and the food good. BUT, this is what was exceptional- I suffer from M.E. and was not well enough to endure breakfast in the dining room (and this was almost at the end of breakfast) so had to be taken back to my room. I asked if I could have some cereal etc in my room and James said not to worry he would bring me and my husband our breakfast to our room. WE WERE ASTOUNDED!’ as 2 trays absolutely full of everything you could imagine- cereal, cooked breakfast, croissants, fruit, jams, juice, tea, sauces and more …. James and Alice had a tray each and were so pleased to do it for us. I was so overwhelmed with their kindness and just wanted to say how it made my stay memorable and I shall never forget it. Thank you so much. We are coming back for a break in December. Many, many thanks. It warrants highlighting these 2 members of staff.
