Abbey Hotel Bath, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Overall: We stayed 3 nights at the Abbey Hotel, Bath and had a lovely time - I think the hotel is deserving of praise but there are some smallish points that should be mentioned. Hotel: Parts of it are being refurbished and some rooms looked a lot better than others. Single small lift is always very busy. Location: Could not be much better if it tried, everything seemed a short walk from the hotel. Room: Decor was OK but did look a little tired in places, bathroom looked to have some hasty and slightly untidy paint work around the bottom. Shower was good but the water did not drain very fast so the base filled up quite quickly, basin tap was a little loose in operation but did work. Room cleaning service was good, bed was a little softer than ours at home but provided good support, pillows were good. Room air conditioning was good but had to keep on low to avoid room being too cold. Walls seemed a little thin - as wife could hear snoring during the night. Staff: A credit too the Abbey or any hotel - lovely, helpful and efficient. Breakfast: A good hearty breakfast but the coffee was very strong though bland. Bar service & prices: Excellent service - bar staff were really helpful and made some excellent cocktails. Sadly there was not too much going on in terms of patrons of the bar itself. Prices seemed a little inflated for some drinks - especially wine but probably no more than in most tourist destinations. Would we recommend or stay again: Yes we would! Perhaps a little renovation needed but it is a lovely and welcoming destination.

The hotel's in a very convenient location, just a few minutes' easy walk from the train station. Reception staff were friendly and welcoming. We arrived before check-in time but they looked after our luggage while we explored the city. Room was quite spacious and comfortable. Walk-in shower, robes and slippers. Breakfast was very good - a cold buffet choice and freshly cooked hot food efficiently served by waiting staff. On checking out, our luggage was stored again for a couple of hours - a much appreciated service. We would stay again.

Great hotel in excellent location for Bath city centre. Staff are friendly and helpful and could not have done more for us. The cooked breakfast is one of the best we've had anywhere. Great views over the river if you're in a room at the front. We would recommend this hotel to anyone considering a stay in Bath. In fact, we're already thinking about booking the hotel again.

I needed a walk in shower(at least not one over a bath which I can’t get in or out of). The only one available was in the basement. The room was pleasant enough but so very dark it was difficult to to read. If the lighting had been better the basement situation would have meant a better experience

The hotel is in a great location, the Christmas market is right outside. The room itself was luxurious and comfortable. Our building had no lift available, but the hotel staff carried our luggage up for us. Great views of the city from our room.
