This is a pub, so reception is at the bar, we were able to drop our bags early and felt they were safe. On our return check in was quick, we received our key and instructions to find our room. We had paid for a 'King Room', it was on the 3rd floor, luckily we only had a small case. There was work being done so we looked out on scaffolding. The room was small, quirky and had a sloping floor which meant the bed also sloped and small, but everything was clean, the bathroom was good, lots of hot water. The main problem was a lot of noise outside all night, as the pub is on a corner of the main walkway between the restaurants/attractions and the bus and train station. It did not stop until about 3am. Breakfast was excellent

The hotel is in an excellent central location, just a short walk from some of the main sights you would want to see in the city. Getting around was very easy. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming and genuinely lovely throughout my stay. I stayed on my own with my dog and we were given a very sweet room with a city view. The room was small but perfectly sufficient and comfortable for us. Breakfast was very good, with items selected from a menu and served quickly. The service was efficient and friendly, and the dishes were fresh and tasty. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and would happily choose this hotel again on my next visit.

Such a cute building in the heart of Bath, a quick walk to so many attractions such as the Roman Bath itself, coach station, and parks. Breakfast was so delicious and the staff were the friendliest people. The room itself was very cute and simple with an updated bathroom but it had little airflow and after 50 steps to the top floor in the middle of summer, it became very stuffy. The fan that was included in the room helped but our shower only seemed to give out hot water and was very confusing to use. I would absolutely love to stay again, probably not during the warmer months or at least try for a room on one of the other floors, but I did enjoy the stay here.
And again, the food was SO GOOD!

Average hotel.

The room was clean and tidy. Being an attic conversion the ceilings sloped but this was not a major issue. Also being 200 years old the floors were uneven. Third floor is not really suitable for older guests with knee or hip problems. There is no lift. Breakfast was average, the bacon was overcooked and dry, the mushrooms also over cooked and the tomatoes burnt.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The whole room had a lean, so everything tilted to the right. The window rattled all night so hubby had to put tissues in between sill and window to stop rattling. Staff were friendly enough. Didn’t try the breakfast as it started at 8 and was booked on early tours both mornings. Had I had known this I wouldnt have booked this room. I’ve never heard of breakfast starting at 8am anywhere, ever! If you want a basic room with a tiny shower that you cannot move in and miss out on breakfast supplied by hotel at a ridiculous time go ahead and book this hotel. I would not book this hotel again.

The bath tub was amazing, I took the longest bath ever. Bed was comfortable and they had water/tea/coffee and a kettle. Room was larger then I expected. There were real plants in the bathroom and they put little touches around the room to make it unique. I enjoyed my stay.
It can be a bit noisy till 1 am from people down on the street however that is not the hotels fault. Our included breakfast was fantastic. I got the yogurt with granola and fruit with morning tea., my MIL got the bacon sandwich and coffee. We both enjoyed our breakfast. Loved the atmosphere and vibe of the place. Couldnt ask for a better location if you want to see the Roman baths ect.
You do have to climb stairs to get to your room so be advised it is not handicap accessible. Overall I would definitely stay here again!

Dinner at the pub was only ok we got the fish and Chips.

This place was fantastic, even though we had a minor issue checking in the girl working the bar was extremely friendly and helpful and everything was sorted out very quickly. When you walk in you walk into this cute and very amazing looking bar the drinks there were very good, they have a kitchen too but I never got the chance to try their food.

The room also was amazing had lots of character and was perfect for me and my partner. The bathroom is very clean and the beds are comfortable.

It's also in the perfect area super convenient and everything important is within walking distance and you're right around the corner from the Roman baths and right by a little city square that has lots of options for food.

This place was perfect and we will be back. I highly recommend.

Nice hotel , nice staff but didn't work for me.

Really nice place and i would recommend but i had a couple of issues, nothing serious though.

Firstly, it was a little noisy from traffic and people into the early hours, to be expected i suppose in a city centre hotel.

Secondly, although breakfast was included in my booking, unfortunately it wasn't served until 8am, this is ok for tourists but as i start lecturing at 8.30, i was unable to take advantage of the breakfast.

Please understand the Black Fox is good, it just didn't work for me.

We stayed for one night in October. Right in town literally around the corner to the spa and historic roman bath ( two separate venues). A good pub with rooms above. I read the previous reviews and having no problem with access by stairs only to a quiet room booked a night. The problem is that the previous ' quiet room' review was wrong! Buses pass outside the bedroom windows all through the night, as do revellers and early/ late workers. Be forewarned: ear plugs are very much recommended. I would have had an easy night if I hadn't left my fitted ear plugs ( essential travellors equipment in my opinion) at an earlier stay! Very much worth the money otherwise.
