PERFECTLY FINE BUT NEEDS SOME SLIGHT ATTENTION

Good pub with rooms. Location was excellent. We had an attic room which meant the bathroom in particular had limited space for a wash basin and decent shower. It is a very old building and needs a freshening up. However it was perfectly OK

We stayed in the hotel during the heat wave, so without the AC the room was quite warm, however manageable. Please mind the old style stairs in the building, may be challenging with heavy luggage. Otherwise the place was excellent for us. The breakfast is the best!

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.

Not a bad stay

Would come again. Staff are friendly, room clean and food was good, so happy to hear there butter was daily free. One thing I would say if you have trouble with health or body let them know as there no lift.

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.

This was a very good stay, with a big room, comfortable bed and a nice bathtub. The bathroom sink was kind of awkward though. The area of the hotel was perfect, right in the center of the town with every attraction and tons of restaurants within walking distance.

This property is in a good location and the breakfasts provided were good. The rooms are another story. I u derstand that this building is 250 years old but the floor in our room was very slanted, the room was very small for 2 peoplel

This is above a pub that provides breakfast the next morning. The location of this hotel is great and easy to get to. Can walk the town in the evening easily and safely. The room was very big with a sitting area and big clean bathroom. You can hear lots of noise from the street even 2 floors up. And lots of stairs to go up but would stay again for sure!

The Black Fox was one of my favorites. Spacious room, clean, good mattress and pillows, big bathroom, and great location right next to the Roman Baths. Short walk to the train station. Good breakfast included. Had fish and chips one night and it was very good as well.

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.
