Great hotel in Bath. It has been recently refurbished (I believe in the last two years). Close to all the tourist attractions in downtown Bath. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were traveling with two small dogs and the staff provided a dog bed, bowls and a welcome kit for them.

We stayed here leading up to our wedding and it was a 10/10 stay. They gave us complimentary sparkling wine, flowers, and a hand illustrated congratulations card!

Hotel feels newly renovated but still has classic countryside boutique flare. Family room was very spacious for us. Wonderful, super friendly staff!

Emberwood was an excellent restaurant directly tied into the hotel. Location is very central but things are still quiet which is great.

Will surely stay again if we are ever in town. Thank you Alex and Carly for making it memorable!

This is a lovely hotel! The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the rooms were not only attractive, but very comfortable. It has an old world charm, and the breakfast is really good. Don’t miss it! We want to stay again soon.

Stayed for 3 nights, had 2 rooms both were excellent, very comfortable beds, slept very well, air conditioning great, bathrooms clean and walls between rooms not paper thin. Breakfast was lovely, very flexible, could choose that morning whether you wanted it or not. Staff excellent, always there when needed but not intrusive and hotel parking was a plus, all in all, excellent, would highly recommend.

Don't stay in room 35 or other rooms near to where there was a recent leak and it smells of damp!
Spoke to receptionist about the smell, who was initially quite elusive about the smell and said there was nothing reported. As I insisted there was a smell she then confessed that there had been a leak in the area and maybe that was it, would get maintenance to look at it.
So we slept in a room smelling of damp!
Rest of the hotel looked good, bar was nice, very convenient but obviously soured by not helpful staff not offering to move us as the hotel was busy. The bedroom decor was good but the carpets are really tired, bathroom was clean and OK.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Francis Hotel. It was five years since we last stayed there and the difference made by their extensive renovations is amazing! Beautiful rooms, even the small ‘cosy’ rooms, with thoughtful and artistic decoration and amenities. We stayed in the really hot weather and the great AC was very welcome! It’s in a fantastic location and we will definitely return.

Alex, who oversaw the lobby when we visited, was a model of gracious and effective hospitality. I’ve never met a hotel employee better at the job of anticipating questions, lending a hand with baggage, and supplying infirmation than Alex. He is a real credit to The Francis.

Stunning hotel and beautiful bar. Rooms a lovely. Breakfast the following day was good, not amazing and staff seemed very busy so not so attentive. We asked for a high chair a few times and by the time one was bought to us we had already fed the baby. Apart from this we couldn't fault this hotel and will definitely stay here again if we visit Bath.

Car park not very big but luckily we managed to get a parking spot. On the morning of our check out they allowed us to leave our car parked until 2pm which allowed us to browse the shops and have a coffee. Would 100% definitely recommend this hotel.

Room was spacious and amenities good. I found my room very hot. Even with the window open.
Also, on check out we were advised there is a ‘discretionary’ payment for the maintenance and housekeeping staff per night that didn’t sit well with me. I think you should be pre warned that you will be asked to do this as it’s quite embarrassing saying no and feels awkward that you are asked to pay towards the staff. If I want to pay housekeeping I leave money in the room.

We had a wonderful stay in this hotel. The only slight annoyance was that we couldn’t get the air conditioning to work, so had to sleep with the window open, which meant that the gulls woke us up quite early in the morning. We were celebrating our birthdays and the hotel gave us a lovely plate of cakes to honor this! We skipped paying for breakfast because there are so many wonderful bakeries in Bath and the breakfast was on the pricey side. I still wouldn’t hesitate staying here again!

The location of the hotel couldn’t have been better, the rooms were clean and appeared newly decorated, in a style which complemented the age of the building. The staff were exemplary, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was fresh, beautifully presented and bountiful. We were very lucky with parking as they had recently reopened their car after a 1 years closure, this made everything very convenient. We are looking forward to further stays at The Francis Hotel in the future and would recommend it to anyone considering a stay there.

Nicely decorated Superior King room but on arrival it was quite chilly. There was a draught coming from the sash window and also some road noise - which I hate because I’m a light sleeper, and I’m very surprised there is no secondary glazing to stop the draught and reduce the road noise. The bathroom was nicely decorated but the tiled floor was cold underfoot - many high end hotels have underfloor heating these days but not here it seems.
I did request a room change but I was told there were only ’staff’ rooms available - even though Hotels.com was showing 2 Superior King room available both before and after I’d asked !!!
The breakfast room is very stylish and offered a typical choice of food.
Lovely hotel but having had a recent makeover it lacked some attention to detail. I enjoyed my previous stay here, a couple of years ago, a lot more.

Great room, great hotel, great location. Yes a little bit more expensive than others but worth it. The only slightly down side was the ‘optional’ service charge at the end. I appreciate it goes to the staff but mentioning the door man, who did literally nothing during our stay. Actually he did talk to the concierge and to somebody with a dog outside the main entrance. I’m sure the hotel would run fine without them.
