We booked a one night stay and had plans so didn’t spend much time in the guesthouse but we were welcomed when we arrived and were shown around the facilities. Our family room was just the right size, decoration was lovely, very clean and the beds were comfortable.

We parked in the Charlotte Street carpark which was very close using the path that runs from opposite the pay machine and toilets, down to the street.

Very convenient for walking to shops and restaurants, it took us around 10 minutes.

We would happily stay again and for longer.

This property was in a location close enough to the city center, but removed enough to be quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, my overall visit was mostly overshadowed by the intense basement/mildew-type smell that permeated my room, to the point that my clothes gathered the scent. The carpet and duvet were stained, and the room became fairly chilly at night (a portable heater was provided, but was insufficient). Overall the facilities are in dire need of an update/renovation, for cleanliness' sake.

Easy to get to from the train station, via walking or bus. The atmosphere here was very nice, the common room felt quite welcoming, had some board games and some comfortable chairs.

Getting around Bath from here was great. Bath is an extremely walkable city, and there's a lot of convenient restaurants within a short distance.

The room itself was really nice, I'd say quaint. Seemed well decorated and clean.

Staff were friendly. I only ate breakfast once just to try it, and it was good.

Was a perfect place for a nice relaxing few days in Bath.

We had a great time at the Brooks Guesthouse. It's a very nice Victorian house, very well preserved and decorated. The people who work there are very friendly and helped us with practical issues. They serve an excellent breakfast. Our only complaint is that the folding sofa-bed in our room was too hard.

Brooks Guesthouse has a great deal of charm and the staff are each wonderful. I love old buildings and typically seek out older buildings to stay in. But older buildings do have eccentricities and what is charm to one person might frustrate another.

My room did not quite have the period aesthetic I expected from the photos on the website. The toilet frequently required multiple flushes (3-10), the basement room often had that slight basement smell unless the screenless windows were open, and the steps can be rather steep and not wide enough to carry a suitcase by your side (which means the luggage must be carried in front of you or behind you - tough if they are heavy). Also the keyhole to the room was so low on the door you pretty much have to crouch on the floor to manipulate the very stubborn key in the lock. Street traffic can be a little loud at times from the front side of the building where I was.

But the bed was comfortable, the location is excellent, the staff is friendly, and ultimately it was a very pleasant place to stay. The landscaping is obviously cared for. The common rooms are simple and homey. So if you let yourself simply view the unpleasant bits as eccentric period charm – part of the adventure, you will enjoy your stay here. Ultimately there is far more good than not. It is about a 1/2 mile walk east to restaurants, theater, shops. A 1/2 mile walk north takes you to the Crescent and the park and the Circus shops. I recommend it if you are a good sport.

Lovely breakfast, guesthouse was nicely decorated for Christmas and had the additional touch of mince pies and mulled wine available for a small charge. Bed was really comfortable, our room was at the front of the property so you could hear the road especially if you wanted the door (which was the window) open so might be quite loud for some people but wasn't much of an issue during sleeping hours. Bathroom really nice and clean. Very good location for centre of Bath, only a short walk so definitely worth it. Thanks for a lovely stay for my 30th birthday with my mum 😊

Well....the staff were nice that's one good thing. BUT the tiny, tiny 'so called' 'Compact Double' room we were in, looks nothing like the brochure picture of the same! Overall, the one we were in felt dingy, cramped, smelly and dark. Very disappointing.
The shower room/ toilet was the smallest I've ever been seriously offered in any hotel or B&B anywhere in the World. The only way to dry after shower is to exit the bathroom and step into bedroom. Overall it was no bigger than an average aeroplane toilet !
Coincidentally we met the owner who happened to be on the premises for meeting and let him know our thoughts. He asked if I had realised it was a ' compact double' (apparently one of several) when we booked? No we hadn't but the reality and the brochure picture of the same are as different as chalk and cheese. We were offered a bottle of wine as compensation as there were no spare rooms to upgrade us to. And next day friends we were with were upgraded to a better larger room on check-in. In fact two or three of the other rooms we peeped into looked like brochure pics so maybe this 'Compact Double' garret in the roof is an aberration!

But to have paid £263 for two nights (Way over the price range shown in their brochure) is to tell you that it was very over priced. The owner said the reason for high rates is that 'property in Bath is so expensive.

Later they did offer a total discount of £45

To me the room is worth no more than £35 pp per night tops .
IMHO

Brooks is just right

Found out when checking in we could have had a parking permit, parking in Bath is pricey £30.00 for 48hrs so will be checking out the permits next time. Its the second time weve staid at Brooks and will definitely return. There was no hot water the first morning due to a boiler fault. The fault was rectified that day and the hotel compensated us with no charge for the breakfast we had the first morning, which was lively by the way. All un all a very enjoyable stay

Average and apparent free parking?

Great location only a 10 minute stroll into the city centre. Advertises parking permits but they had “run out” therefore had to pay for parking (not a big issue, £15 for 24 hours, but still states free parking but do these permits actually exist?). Onto the room, very small with view of the neighbours wall, room smelt very odd and could have done with an uplift. Bathroom very small and shower cubical tiny. Bed nothing special and pillows not great. However, staff very friendly and again good location. Again good for the night but not for more than that if you’re looking for a long weekend stay.

Family trip to Bath.

We enjoyed a 3 nights stay as a family of 4 in the quadruple room. There was an enormous comfortable double bed and the children slept on 2 fold out bed chairs. We all slept well and the room was very clean. Check in was good and we were able to check in early as our room was ready. The honesty bar was very useful and much appreciated. We ordered the breakfast hamper for the 2 adults as the children do not eat a lot in the morning but there was plenty to share. My only criticism was that fruit was advertised to be included and we didn’t have any. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Bath as it is very convenient for the centre, it was also right next to Victoria Park which we used daily either for a run or the playground for the children. Wonderful short break - thank you Brooks Guesthouse.
