Yes, this property is 220 years old, but it is magnificent. The living room is expansive and the bedroom is huge. And it is all decorated with care and appropriateness. The separate kitchen is fully equipped and has a table for two, if you don’t want to spread out on the full dining table in the great room. We particularly liked the pillows. There were dozen on the bed, and four sofas! We can’t wait to return.

A very nice apartment in Bath! Parking is tight--but it's tight everyplace in Bath. We were there in late spring so we had to deal with trees shedding on the car but that's no big problem. The historic building is very cool and accessible to shopping and dining.

Very well-equipped apartment, just like staying at home. Property management were very responsive to queries, and I appreciated the long detailed arrival write-ups with almost all issues addressed and anticipated, and upfront disclosures of possible inconveniences like the bedroom facing the main road. The apartment can be a little cold in the winter due to the high ceilings and radiators only along the walls, but that is only to be expected given its size and the age of the building it is located in. A great stay, I would definitely book this again.

Car Parking NOT guaranteed
Car Parking is really public and NOT guaranteed. Check-in is quite a pain, and you need to read a long email and manual to get in and understand what is where etc. One of the contact phones given are wrong. The bath and sink in the bathroom are missing. For 3 persons staying 2 nights, only 2 toilet rolls provided. No hooks available in bathroom. Only 3 Coffee capsules provided only so coffee only for 1 day. Quite disappointing choice.

Dear MT, thank you for your feedback. GROSVENOR apartments have free public parking around the building and is on the first come first serve basis, but there are usually many spaces to find. We have self check in and send key instructions by email. We also provide the guests with the house manual and city guide to help them get around. All our bathrooms have a bath tub and a sink, as well as the towel rack - I’m sure it was not possible you didn’t find it, so really don’t understand what you wanted to say. Our apartments are self catering, ie, you supply for yourself. Still, we do leave complimentary tea and coffee for guests, same as sugar, salt, oil etc so that you don’t have to rush to the shop right away. Two rolls for three people normally is quite enough. We understand you might have had certain expectations, however, all of the above is provided on the website with the photos, as I described. And totally strange comment about the bathroom, why tell lies?

Great location and experience!
The property manager was very helpful and nice. We arrived a bit early and were looking for a place to put our belongings for an hour before we could get into the apartment and they were very accommodating, letting us put our bags in another room in the meantime. The instructions for getting to the apartment and for checking in were very detailed, which was really helpful. The place was really clean and the kitchen well equipped. There was also a bus stop right outside the apartment, which was really convenient. Thank you for a great place to stay close to the main downtown!

It was in a typically traditional building. It was easy to find and parking was available on the street. The accommodation suited our needs and was not too far from the Centre. Although slightly more expensive than one usual accommodation it was just about within our budget.

Chechen was terrible with horrible communication. I sent my info. No reply. They asked for credit card, when you said not to give one. We finally went to a surgery and they were most helpful. On the phone, mark told us to go to the cafe across the street for internet and the receptionist told us it was closed. The beds were rock hard and very uncomfortable! It was listed as a superior apt and it certainly was not. The refrigerator was unplugged and the food we were traveling with had to wait for a refrigeratored temperature. It took too long and we threw it out. I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone!

Dear Guest, if you were to look at the correspondence between you and us, you could see how many times our staff tried to contact you in the politest way and how curt and non-informative you responses were. I have to say it’s a shame that our staff made all attempts to check you in in advance, trying to reach you time and again, which was ignored and not appreciated. As for the beds, they are approved hotel beds of medium softness from the national producer to fit a general guests preference. Kind regards.

Dear Laura, thank you for your nice review. we checked right after you left. The coffee mugs were on the upper shelf in the kitchen cabinet - perhaps, you didn’t check. Should you try calling the cleaners on the number provided, they would’ve brought you more supplies.

Unnecessarily complex payment and registration. Emailing a bunch of files and filling out forms? The apartment is spacious and a fair value, but otherwise not worth the extra jumping through hoops. They need to figure out a normal way to do this, applying the information already entered into hotels.com.

We didn’t stay there because it was not cleaned when we arrived from the previous guests and after we saw it in that state we totally put off
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019
Response from Eva on 15 Apr 2019
From what I understand, the cleaners were a tad late and didn't finish making beds - which was completed within minutes. We also refunded you the fee. I've never met anyone who'd be put off by the sight of a hotel bed linen being changed. I understand you wanted to relax as soon as you arrived and I am sorry the cleaners were delayed in traffic - however, to be put off by the fact that the bed has not been fully finished yet is something I have never come across. Moreover that the rest of the apartment had been cleaned by the time you arrived, and there was nothing out of ordinary in the sight of that bed. In fact, it's a very nice and big Ikea bed, and the linen is also of a nice quality and professionally cleaned. I appreciate you might be having a bad day, however, should you waited just 10 more minutes, you'd be all right and not spoil your and your husbands' day (I am not talking about my cleaners and myself who remained in a deep shock from your reaction). If we could rate the guests, we would probably give it some thought how to rate you.

Grade 1 listed Georgian flat- needs a good clean and paint. No iron, ironing board broken, broken shower tap, run down dingy entrance hall etc etc There is an extra £35 charge to clean the property on top of booking charge. All a bit rich and there is a strange online registration process including almost everything except your inside leg measurement, which didn't work for us until we rang. Might suit a bit group wanting plenty of space for an overnight stay. Not quite the thing for a couple.

Dear James, first of all, thank you for staying with us. Just to say, if you have contacted us earlier or replied to our emails with the key instructions and directions, you wouldn't have to go through the process in the morning of your check in date. We do have an iron and a working ironing board, and we checked the shower tap which is working. The building is indeed Grade 1 and 250 years old. It is a usual residential building with a clean entrance hall, the apartment is cleaned after each stay professionally. Perhaps, you expected a palace, but it would be strange to expect one in Bath at £80 a night. Kind regards

Comfortable stay in a historical apartment
The location of the apartment is relatively good, being walking distance to amenities such as supermarket and attractions. The apartment is quite spacious and airy with high ceiling, hence ventilation is good. Even though an old apartment, the condition was pretty good. It comfortably accommodates 5 adults, having one bedroom with a double bed and a large living room with 3 sofa beds. Bedding were quite comfortable and the kitchen was also quite well equipped. However, our stay did not start too well. When we arrived, the taxi could not bring us to the entrance of the apartment as both sides of the drive way was fully parked with cars, hence only very small cars could get through. We had to drag our luggage in the rain. The key storage was unsheltered hence I had to struggle to get the keys out in the rain with one hand while trying to balance the umbrella in the other in an uncomfortable squatting position. The entrance hallway was dimly lit and dirty with waste paper strewn all over the floor. The door rug also looked filthy. Fortunately the apartment interior was of better condition. We do appreciate the fact that the apartments practises waste sorting. It was great that such historical apartment was well conserved. It would be good that housekeeping could be improved as some lights were also not working. Otherwise the stay was quite comfortable.

The apartment was awesome. The whole “check in” process was a pain. Needed to send a copy of my driver’s license or passport to a site that I was unclear was safe. They also wanted my charge card number for a £250 deposit. I get the reason for that but, again, it was over email. In fact all communication was by email with significant delays - therefore when we had a couple of issues (not enough towels, no hot water) it took several hours to fix. More like an air B&B - which is cool but it would have been good to know that ahead of time! The phone number given was only good during certain hours - which were not posted.....Again, the apt was awesome with a nice location - just be aware of the glitches.

Dear Mary thank you for your feedback. The very first communication the guests receive from us explain the check in procedure and give the heads up about our communication system and security deposit. Guests also receive the house manual which explains the operation of the boiler (which you apparently had accidentally turned off). Ours is an apartment not a hotel hence the reason for this, as we have no reception.

Historic residence in the greater bath area.
A lovely high-ceiled dwelling that is serval years old. Parking was not a problem, but it is tight. We did not move the car after we parked it. Bright, large open main area. We wish we had a dishwasher, but that is common for the area. The apartment is a reasonably short to the bus, but there were hardly any emmienties in the immediate area.

The historic apartment is very clean, tidy, bright and spacious, very comfy place. But the bath and the door above bath were broken before we use. It needed fix before customers check in. Otherwise everting is pleased. The check in time starts at 3pm which is bit late for us. Also check out time at 11am which bit early for us.

Thank you for your feedback. Not sure what to say as both the bathroom door and the bathtub itself are in good working condition, so not sure what do you refer to. Perhaps, you needed guidance with using the shower? But it is a very straightforward one. The gap between the check-out and check-in time is needed for the cleaners to prepare the apartments for the new guests. Kind regards Grosvenor Apartments

Bene ma non benissimo
L’appartamento è molto bello, lo stabile pure, letti confortevoli, salotto camera e bagno puliti, invece la cucina e gli utensili erano veramente sporchi così come i cassetti, per lo standard di un appartamento a 4 stelle anche gli asciugamani dovevano essere diversi, ce ne hanno forniti solo quattro e di media misura assolutamente piccoli per il dopo-doccia. L’appartamento si salva perché lo stabile georgiano è veramente affascinante e i due camini stupendi, ma fossi nella società controllerei meglio lo status delle pulizie.

The apartment is very nice, the stable as well, comfortable beds, living room and bathroom clean, instead the kitchen and utensils were really dirty as well as drawers, for the standard of a 4-star apartment also the towels had to be different, they only provided us with four and a very small average size for the after-shower. The apartment is saved because the Georgian building is really fascinating and the two beautiful fireplaces, but I was in the company better check the status of cleaning.
