Francis Hotel Bath
The breakfast offerings were extensive and fresh; the staff attentive, and the doorman was a regular Harry Bailey if you know your Chaucer.

The Queensberry Hotel
Absolutely beautiful room with view. Everything was lovely at the hotel only issue being coffee machine downstairs was broken and not working properly each day. A small Nespresso would have worked better in the meantime.

Breakfast was awful. Everything dried out and the beans and tomatoes were mush. Coffee lukewarm. Very disappointed. The bacon was so hard and dry,it was unbeatable. Location was very good. Staff not so. I dont think I'll return.

This was my 4th stay here and once again it didn’t disappoint. Staff are always welcoming and friendly, rooms are clean and comfortable and the situation is ideal for travelling, shopping and sightseeing. Looking forward to to my fifth stay…… whenever that will be! 😊
