Only stayed one night workmen working all night resurfacing the road outside i managed to get in the tiny car park but blocked in by the workmen if i has wanted to go out in my car in the evening. The room was fine not keep on shared bathrooms but had a sink in the room. You get a kettle and a coffee percolator but no coffee for the peculator which was a shame. Overall was fine no big issues big Tesco nearby as no food available that night .Café nearby was not open early enough when i wanted to leave.I would stay again though.

The property is 300 years old, and the daily rate amongst the cheapest for the area…so expectations should be set accordingly.

The good: spacious rooms and some off-street parking out front. Easy to find and very quiet (despite being on a main road). Great double-paned windows. Check-in was easy. While the bar doesn’t serve food, there is heaps of amenity nearby. This was a good launching spot to explore Bristol and Bath (train a 5-10 min walk).

The not-so-good: The room was surface level clean…but smelled quite strongly of smoke, and the bathroom in need of some fit and finish.

The room and bathroom looked as they did on photo but in reality felt very grotty and dirty. The advert said there may be music from bar at weekend but it was that loud it actually shook the room. It was not acceptable to expect anyone to pay any money at all for such conditions. We actually left after 10 minutes, it was that bad. We felt slightly intimidated by some in the bar and the access to the rooms from the bar was easy for anyone and the lock directly to our room didn’t feel safe at all. We cut our holiday short so missed going to Stonehenge and travelled 3 hours back to sheffield rather than stay the night. Ideally, we really should get a refund

The room was clean, but basic. There was cereal in the room for breakfast, tea and coffee but no milk. The room smelled when we went in, but we got used to it. The staff were friendly. The pub has live music on Saturday night which went on until midnight. But this was expected as it said the room might be over a function room.

If I could leave a minus star I would. This ‘Hotel’ is a disgrace. Black mould in multiple rooms (we had to move) wallpaper falling off the walls, exposed wires, broken doors, some random dog barking in one of the other rooms through the night and very early in the morning, poorly trained staff with even poorer attitude, dirty bed linen and general shocking standards throughout. I have photos. How this Hotel has gained a score of 7 or even 3 stars is beyond me. Steer clear, stay away avoid at all costs !!!

A very old building (300 years old!!!), with character, but nicely adapted to the modern life, still maintaining its character. However, the heavy smell of smoking... was not very pleasant, at least for me. Despite being on very busy road, the noise of traffic was very well insulated, which was absolutely amazing.

Decent accomodation not far from the town centre.

The staff lady who greeted us was polite and courteous and allowed us to check in a little early as the room was ready.

The bar area was dark but cozy. they have a beer garden but the weather was unforgiving so we could not experience it

The room was fine and the bed comfortable. The bathroom had all the amenities that you would expect and was clean. The shower was a little tight but the water pressure was great.

A few breakfast items such as cornflakes, and long life orange juice were left in the room for guests. it would have been nice to have a cooked breakfast as there is a restaurant downstairs.

Poorly Maintained, not clean, unpleasant.

The staff are really welcoming and friendly.

The condition of the accommodation is very poor and in need of desperate attention.
There are clear signs of damp where the walls are peeling.
There was a strong smell of damp in the room which was very unpleasant.

There was no headboard on the bed, so there is staining on the wallpaper from other people’s heads which is unhygienic.

There are cobwebs on the windowsill so the cleaning is not done well. There is no where to store your clothing in draws or hangers, and the clothes hooks had fallen off the wall and not been put back up.
Under the sink was thick with black dirt and clearly not been cleaned, maybe ever.

The WiFi is poor and I switched back to using my phones 5G as it was just unusable.

Unfortunately there was an alarm going off in the room next door in the very early hours of a Saturday morning. It did not stop and I called the out of hours number.
When leaving my room, the room next door appears to belong to someone affiliated with the business as there wasn’t a room number, rather a sign about gaming.
Makes it even worse to be woken up at 5:30 on a Saturday morning for over 30 minutes by someone who is representing the business.

Do not stay here. I was trying to support a small business but should have stayed at a Premier Inn, or anywhere else.

The toilet and showeroom was seperate which was annoying, so no sink in the toilet.

Opposite a noisy neighbour with karoke.

Parking spaces are limited but some narrow off road parking.

Kettle, coffee machine, comimentary cereal, coffee and tea bags in room. There is a sink and fresh towels which are nice. There was also a fan which came in handy.

The beds are on metal frames so very squeaky with the mattress less desired.

Little on the pricey end, shouldn't have been more than £50-£55 per night, paid £75 as i expected on site safe parking.

Disappointing

We so wanted to love this place. These are good people trying to run a business with limited resources. The customer service reflected this—good, but limited. A simple ‘do not disturb’ sign would have stopped housekeeping waking my wife after a late check-in the night before. It didn’t help that it was one of the hottest nights with only a fan to cool us—not entirely the establishment’s fault given so few places have aircon in the UK. The most disappointing thing was the bathroom. The shower sealant needs replacement, and we weren’t a fan of the paper bathroom mats.

Very disappointed after arriving we were told that there was no food available for the evening also the pub was closed at 7pm that evening. We were also told that they no longer did breakfast but yet you were still advertising “breakfast available for a fee” ???? Through the night we were disturbed a few time what sounded like a water bubbling from a boiler ??? We had to go along the landing to get milk from a small table top fridge which was shared by everyone!! Our main concern was if anything was needed ie toilet paper etc nobody was around to ask. I can go on but I have to stop now so our rating is not very high at all Sorry 😢

Lovely quick stay

I was dubious about staying here but there was no need , quirky lovely pub - the staff were super friendly, and the room had some lovely little added things , like cotton buds in a pot , bottles of shampoo / shaving gel etc. I was in a twin room overlooking the rugby club so a quite nice view - the road was right under my window but that didn’t bother me.

Bar downstairs was well stocked and I ventured into the garden and had ordered a burger with a glass of wine - wow the burger was outstanding !!! Superb food

Comfortable stay in my room - I did not use the WiFi as did not know there was a code until the am before I left - code is on the room key 🙂.

Easy to find, comfortable, dry and warm.

The building is on London Road, about 10 to 15 minutes from the bus stop (near the church).
I had booked a single room but got upgraded to a double room (larger than the 2 flats I rented when I was living in Bristol!). It was just above the pub, so it's a bit noisy until 10pm but that was fine with me as there was no noise in the corridor outside the room.
The room was quite warm (19 degrees Celsius) and really dry (60% humidity), the building it old, so the plumbing is a bit noisy, but there is an electric shower, so there aren't any issues getting warm water. There is a sign above the toilets saying that blocked toilets will incur a fine of £250: this is the going rate, as I learnt from a fellow renter who had to fork out £200 + VAT to get his toilets unblocked by a plumber, and is still waiting for the landlord to refund him (he had just moved into the property).
The bed was so comfortable that I didn't leave the room until the next morning (I had also found a movie I'd been wanting to watch for years on YouTube) however the pub downstairs looks like a really nice place to have an evening meal, they serve Pieminster pies, and on Sunday there is a carvery, starting at £14.
I really enjoyed my stay, especially as my previous visits to Keynsham (to visit houseshares) had been disappointing. The staff/owners were friendly and non intrusive.
I will definitely stay there again if I am in the area.

Does not recommend

What can I say. Horrible place with horrible staff.
Arrived for a 1 night stay with 2 small children.
We were advised 24 hours before our stay that there would be live music, however as both the pubs website and Google state the bar is only open until 10pm this didn't appear to be an issue.
Arrived to check in and they didn't have a key for our room. Waited over an hour for a key to be provided.
The room was grubby (room 2) and looks nothing like the photos advertising it.
1. Wall paper peeling off the walls
2. In general just wasn't clean.... Had a really grotty feeling to it.
3. Shower door was broken and did not close
4. Numerous blotches of black mould throughout the room and bathroom
5. Fireplace full if cobwebs and just generally grim.... God knows when it was last actually used but didn't look like it had been cleaned for years!
6. Bedroom door lock was broken and the door barely closed.

Breakfast. Do not tick for breakfast!! Breakfast is advertised as being a selection of cereal, fresh pastries, fresh fruit and cereal bars. We were given 4 stale pastries and a couple of small boxes of cornflakes. Come the morning the 4x crossionts were rock solid and inedible. I asked the female manager if we could have some fruit as advertised and cereal bars again as advertised and she advised they didn't have any. No refund offered on the additional breakfast charge which was pathetic and not provided. Milk is in a communal mini fridge in the hallway outside the rooms.....

Such good value.

The bed was really comfy and the room went above and beyond for what I paid. Coffee Machine, cereal and a croissant.
Slept really well. They also let me check in Early.

Booked through Expedia, the info and photos are well out of date. The photos show beer on handpumps but they are no longer in use. \"Breakfast for a fee\" is replaced by cereal and croissants in the room. No hot food available in the morning.
There was no DVD player as listed, which we wanted for a particular reason. \"Daily Housekeeping\" didn't happen as no-one came into the room during our stay. I had to take our dishes to the kitchen and collect clean ones. None of the 3 lamps worked in the room and we had to wait to have them all replaced and we had to ask for the heating to be turned on as it is on a timer.
None of this good for a man having treatment for cancer, travelling to attend a funeral.

On the plus side, the staff were friendly and the snacks we had in the evening were nice.

In my opinion, this is accommodation for workmen.

Uncomfortable and missing basic services

I could feel every spring in the very cheap mattress so slept very poorly.
The shower wasn't attached to the wall and just produced a pathetic dribble of too hot water so unusable.
The cup/bowl wasn't cleaned during the day, or muesli packet replaced so i got half a very cheap breakfast and half a juice box per day.

Its a budget place, but not that cheap so i expected mire. its the same price as a travelodge which offers a lot more and is actually comfortable.

The staff are nice and friendly and the location is fine for a cheap visit to Bath, but I'm certainly not coming back.

Room was very dirty with insects in the lights, on the window ledges etc and a few bugs creeping around the room itself. Damp around the shower and broken sockets etc - room is very much in need of a refit. I opted for the family room so I had an en-suite so this wasn't exactly a budget option.
No cooked breakfast option just a prepacked croissant and pack of cornflakes with a communal fridge for milk.
Parking was also on a very busy main road and a very good chance of someone clipping the car - managed to find some parking on the estate behind but get drenched walking to and from the car.
Didn't opt for dining at the pub as it seemed more of a rowdy drinking pub when I checked in.

The smell in our room is what unfortunately makes this place somewhere I would not recommend for anyone else to stay at. The smell of smoke was awful (literally like someone had chained smoked in the room for years). The smell was stuck to the bedding, pillows… everything! It made the place feel really unclean and dirty. Upon arrival, our room door had been left open with a fan on in the room and a window open… I can only presume staff knew about the smell and tried to get rid of it before our arrival. It would have been nice for staff to tell us about this (or change our room). I would feel ashamed giving this room to anyone with how bad the smell was. We didn’t have time to mention to staff and it was literally a place to drop our bags off and go out. But when we got back we literally couldn’t sleep due to the smell… it made us feel physically sick. We checked out before staff were in work so didn’t get an opportunity to mention this to anyone. If you don’t mind the smell of smoke then you’re okay… but if you do, I wouldn’t not recommend!

Bargain economy accommodation next to busy main road, but noise was ok once window was closed. Nice touches like coffee machine in room (excellent coffee as well!) and cornflakes and croissant for breakfast left in room. Shower rail was broken, so had a nice bath instead! TV didn't work but super helpful staff set up a spare one so I could watch the Olympics. Overall, great value for money.

Good value for money.

This hotel was firstly extremely good value for money. However the low price does mean it come with a few shortcomings. But there are also sufficient positives to provide adequate balance.
Shortcomings: bed not very comfortable. Communal shower and toilet looked tired and could do with refurbishment.
Breakfast was a croissant and cereal and as such knit very exciting.
Positives fresh filter coffee, instant coffee and choice of teas. Apple juice and bottled water.
I’m unlikely to use this hotel again because of the bed, and lack of a cooked breakfast. That said it remains good value for money and would appeal to those on a tight budget.

Cheap and mixed experience

Mixed experience.

Breakfast consisted of a UPF croissant but no milk for tea or coffee, no fruit. They forgot to give me any breakfast the second morning.

Friendly staff. I was glad they saved my bag which I'd left downstairs.

Very noisy with the window open on the main road. I was glad for the sink in the room and the towels.

Food was basic, manufactured pies. I would have liked home cooked pies. The broccoli stalks were old and shrivelled. Not good.

But cheap to stay.

The whole property was tired and dirty. At the top of the stairs was a pile of dirty bed linen and bath towels throughout the day, the milk for breakfast/coffee was a 2 litre carton in a refrigerator balanced precariously on a small table on the landing. one of the two single beds in the room had a plywood board under the mattress presumably because the bed was broken, decided not to have a shower. This is an old building and I appreciate the rising costs today make running a hotel difficult, but there are simple things that can be done to improve the guests experience.

Amazing little place, a gem of a find

This little place was amazong, the room had more facilities than i've had in any hotel room ive ever stayed at, the bed was very comfortable and came with an electric blanket for extra heat during this time of year. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the hotel also has it's own bar and restaurant, the restaurant was fantastic, the food was really good and at a very affordable price.

Avoid Avoid Avoid!!!!!!!! Unless you dont like sleeping.

Tried to stay here before christmas and unfortunatley had to leave the hotel a few hours into our stay.

In general it was ok at best but the noise that is generated from the pub below is unbearable especially if there is a band / karaoke going on.

It was so loud that the whole room was shaking and you were unable to hear the tv even at full volume.

We had no warning that this was the case with these rooms not even at check in was it mentioned. In later emails i was told its all over there social media, im assuming that they have live bands on but surely this level of disruption should be clear to the customer when purchasing the rooms.

We had to leave at 10.30pm and drive home as sleep was impossible.

Tried to get a refund or even a goodwill gesture as this clearly isnt advertised anywhere on expedia or on the room discriptions but have been met with total unprofessionalism from both the hotel and expedia.

How anyone can think this level of noise is acceptable when people book a room to sleep in is beyond me.

The easiest thing to do when they have these events on is not book the rooms out and then the problem is solved.

I would also avoid expedia who are totally useless. There is no protection for the customer and the customer service is dreadful.

Luckily i didnt pay a huge amount for this room £80 but others may not be so lucky.

I feel like the property was making an effort but it just wasn’t the right property for us and I feel I could have made that decision better if not mislead by the online advertising. Firstly, I don’t think “free parking” should be advertised just when they mean you may be able to find a parking spot on the side of the main road (by parking halfway up the sidewalk in front of garbage bins) in front of the hotel late at night after enough other people have gone home. It was my fault to be naive enough to book a Friday night at a hotel that has a live band performing until 1145pm, but it meant difficulty getting to sleep earlier. Also the bathroom didn’t have central plumbing, so the toilet was very noisy and we avoided having a shower. The room was also a bit difficult to access with several doors and stairs making it particularly hard with large staircases. There were no staff in the morning, leaving us uncertain what to do with checkout. On the positive side, the local cover band and happy crowd we listened to until 1145pm was a lot of fun (a nice pub to visit if not staying the night), the room well heated and the beds were comfortable.

Let me start off saying the staff is great. They were curious, kind, and as helpful as they could be. The unmentioned shared bathroom, inoperative WiFi the staff didn't know how to fix, and fleas where not great. I've done shared bathrooms and even shared rooms, so it's not that it has a shared bathroom. Willfully withholding information on Expedia is what is so disappointing. I chose this lodging over another because the other had a shared bathroom! I ended up paying more and traveling further away to stay here. The property is for sale, so I doubt it will get any better.
