Royal Bath Hotel

Royal Bath Hotel

8/10 Good
"Upside: SUPER friendly and helpful staff, nice bar. Good atmosphere. An amazing garden. Great location - easy walk to the beach. Quiet, despite being central. To manage your expectation: - The hotel is very old with squeaky wooden floors under the carpet… the furniture is from ages ago, too. If you are after luxury, forget about it. - The pool would be great in winter. For summer (particularly if there is a heatwave), it is way too warm! CAUTION: If you are booking one of the cheaper room options, call them and confirm your room will have a proper window."
