Wasn't great this time

Liked:We stay at the Royal Bath each year as it's a beautiful hotel, with great staff, and the location is very central.

Disliked:Parking at the hotel is very steep, parking at the car park next to the hotel is also steep. We didn't have a great sleep, our door was sticking so you had to slam it shut, we heard the door slam next to us early hours so I guess they had the same issue. The bed wasn't comfortable, very springy, the pillows were like sleeping on a bag of monkey nuts. It was quite warm , there was a fan in the room with the cover that was covered in dust, and a picture in the wardrobe, not on the wall. The hotel has always lived up to our expectations, apart from this time. We were quite disappointed. We both woke up really tired and aching all over.

Historical hotel by the sea

Liked:The history of the place and its proximity to the beach. Nice staff, battle and garden.

Disliked:Hot water wasn’t working but it was during one of the heat waves, so it didn’t matter so much.

Great location, friendly staff, tasty food, pleasant pool, awful rooms😞

Liked:The location is great. The staff very friendly. But that is all. It is a Britannia hotel… I did not know at time of booking as booked in a rush last minute on the spot an hour before checking in, late evening. Britannia just lets their hotels deteriorate without care, period. Sad really as this would have been a really nice hotel when it opened. We made it on time for the buffet dinner that was well cocked and the restaurant staff extremely nice; a treat after an exhausting day. The pool and gym area are very small but pleasant and they sell decent swimming costumes for about £25 which was great as we did not bring luggage. Worth the £5 additional charge to hotel guests for using the facilities. Breakfast was good and the gardens outside pleasant.

Disliked:If you pay for the premium rooms, they are fabulous but the standard ones, I.e. most of the rooms, are old, badly maintained and uncomfortable. We book a tween by mistake with the rush as it is the first in the list… OMG what a room😞: hard mattresses, both different height, thick pillows, shower head could not be moved and spraying the whole bathroom floor as the glass covers only a small part of the bath edge. Dirt on the edges and ledges.
