“Great location but needs a serious face-lift”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed in the Best Western on a couple of occassions with work, staying for a week at a time. Whilst being perfectly located, the hotel is in serious need of a face-lift. I would recommend not to stay in any of the rooms out the front unless you are a heavy sleeper, noise from the nearby pubs and clubs will keep you up. The bathrooms are basic with temperature gauge on the showers not functioning properly. Great moroccon and nepalese restaurants within a stone throw alongside free internet still makes this a convenienant stay.

Room Tip: Choose the rooms at the back of the hotel for some peace and quiet

“Good hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

Stayed in bath in the summer for a couple of nights, couldn't complain about anything.
Clean room with large bathroom. Hotel in a very good position all the major attractions
only a short walk away. No car park at the hotel but you can park just around the corner
next to the police station. Well situated for the train station a short walk away.
I think the hotel is about ready for some redecoration it looks tired in some places.
All in all not bad for what we paid.

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

We stayed here for a couple of nights and couldn't cannot really complain about anything. Customer service was great and the bed very comfy. Like others have commented, the floor boards around the corridor's and rooms can be very creaky. We luckily only had one in the room we knew to avoid. The room comes with everything you really need: Hairdryer, Tea making, TV, wardrobe, extra pillows and a large bathroom. Whether it was just our room or all rooms but the bathroom was very large but had a clinical feel about it. It was nice and clean with a good wide mirror but the feel with the lino flooring just had a hospital wipe down feel. Also our shower was an event of its own. The 2 heats were freezing cold or very hot with about 1cm of turn between the 2. Those are the only negatives and didn't really bother us, if anything we laughed. Final point about the rooms is the door slamming in the morning from the "older" guests that like to get up at 7am and so you find yourself also awake. Just a little annoying as breakfast is served until 11am and we hoping for a restful break with a little more sleep.

The location is bang in the middle of where you need to be. We decided to catch the train rather than drive and couldn't have asked for a better location for walking around. It also has 2 of Baths best restaurants a stones throw (Sotto Sotto & Yak Yeti Yak) or you could eat in the hotel. I paid extra for B&B but wished i hadn't as i paid £12 per person but the average breakfast menu item is £6.

If i stay in Bath again i will more than likely stay at the Abbey Hotel.

“Central Location Good for Sightseeing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at the beginning of December for three nights. The hotel is ideally located for the tourist, with all the major attractions but a short walk away. The hotel itself looks a "bit tired" in places and would benefit from some money being spent on carpets and soft furnishings, in particular the stair carpets show their backing threads in a number of places, and the chairs in the lounge/bar area have their arms worn shiny. Parking is also something of a problem as the roadway in front of the hotel is "short stay" parking only so it is necessary to park some distance away and pay £12.00 a day to park near the Police station. These few grumbles aside, whatever the deficiencies in the fabric of the hotel is made up by the staff, who we found to be pleasant, efficient and eager to please. The selection of food for breakfast was very good and caters for the majority of tastes. Would we return? Very likely as looking around Bath at some of the other hotels they were mostly in less than appealing locations.

Room Tip: We had rooms at the rear of the hotel, which are much quieter as they are away from the street.
