Right next to the station and close to the theatre and shops.
The windows are single glazed, thus a bit noisy

January 2025, Royal Hotel - Bath
I was very pleased with the roomI had booked. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. A tiny drawback was limited hot water from the wash basin. However the building is an old one and there was a notice advising if the hotel was busy I may have to wait a short time for hot water so I did not mind this. A shower next morning was great. Breakfast was good too.
The gentleman on Reception was excellent, informative and extremely hee Royal when I return to Bath in the future. Thank you.

The staff and food at the Royal are excellent.
Our room was small, no hot water to shower and the floor boards were very creaky

The hotel located opposite the train station and if your room is at front of the hotel, you will hear the trains all night long. Otherwise is convenient walking distance to the main attractions “Roman Bath”.

Stayed at the Royal as we were going to a concert at the Forum which is just nearby. Girl at reception extremely friendly and helpful. We managed to book one of the psrking spaces belonging to the hotel just round the corner which was very convenient. Would stay again.
