Varför människor älskar det
- The 'Pantry' on the second floor stocked with free ice cream, sodas, and snacks 24/7
- Eclectic, whimsical design that feels like a wealthy eccentric's private home, not a chain hotel
- Prime location on Great Pulteney Street—grand, historic, and a short walk to the Roman Baths
Snabb Överblick: A charmingly eccentric Georgian dollhouse that trades standard luxury polish for character, free snacks, and steep stairs.
Recenserat av @ginagoesto: I felt like I walked onto a movie set staying here. The view of Great Pulteney Street from my window was iconic, and that chandelier over the bed is even more stunning in person. Also, playing tic-tac-toe with the welcome chocolates was such a fun surprise!

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is there parking?
Yes, but it's limited to a few spots at the rear, costs £25-35/night, and absolutely requires a reservation.
Is it dog friendly?
Very. Dogs are welcome for £25/night and get a bed, bowl, and treats. They can join you in the bar but not the main restaurant.
Is there a gym?
Technically yes, but it's a very small fitness room. Don't expect a full workout facility; the nearby park is better for running.
Does the hotel have an elevator?
Yes, but it doesn't reach the top attic floor (Small Guest Rooms), and there are often half-landing steps throughout the building.
What is the 'Pantry'?
A communal room on the second floor stocked with complimentary soft drinks, water, chips, sweets, and ice cream 24/7.
How far is the city center?
It's a flat, scenic 5-10 minute walk across Pulteney Bridge to the Roman Baths and Abbey.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'dollhouse' in your room isn't a toy—it actually hides the Nespresso machine and tea kettle.
💡The chandeliers are made of weird things like lost earrings or musical instruments.
💡There is no air conditioning in some lower-tier rooms, though fans are provided (rarely an issue in Bath, but good to know).
💡The spa is in the basement vaults and feels like a secret Roman cavern.
💡Room keys are actual physical keys, often attached to heavy fobs, not plastic cards.
