Special Wedding Anniversary break

It was our Pearl Wedding Anniversary which I had mentioned when I booked. We were pleasantly surprised ot find they had upgraded us from a Superior room to a suite!! Another unexpected surprise was finding a bottle of bubbly on ice together with a dish of truffles and macarons in our room! The room was enormous and was very clean. It was a refurbished room and bathroom and had everything we could want. Including a Nespresso coffee machine and a fridge with complimentary coca colas and still and fizzy water. The hotel is in the throes of being renovated but our stay was not impaired in any way. No noise, or building materials left about. We were also provided with complimentary buffet breakfast because of the building works. This was continental as well as cooked English breakfast. Absolutely more than enough to eat and choose from. We loved The Francis and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back again!! Thank you

Seniors on the Town

Doorman went over & beyond to assist us. As Seniors, we very much appreciated his service. Bartenders were friendly & professional. Gave us suggestions for dinner. When we arrived at the restaurant, they were closing. We asked & the young lady gave us another suggestion. Very good restaurant that should be added to Your Hotel suggestions. Beckford Canteen!! Fresh lamb, so delicious & tender, no need for a fork. Everyone gracious & accommodating. Fabulous experience.

Was aware of the refurbishment but was not aware I’d be woken shortly after 7am by workmen shouting and climbing scaffolding outside my window. Door hinges in ‘refurbished’ block need a full review - lots of doors slamming at all times. No soundproofing between rooms. Rain shower disappointing.

Very nice hotel. Was undergoing renovations so not all facilities were available and our room was cut off from where the lift is, but otherwise a lovely hotel and excellent location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Lovely old hotel in the midst of a major renovation. We were booked into a newly renovated room which was nicely decorated, spacious and comfortable. There was some noise from renovations on weekdays but it was not particularly bothersome. The location is great - essentially equidistant between the Abbey and Roman Baths and the Circus and Royal Crescent. Buffet breakfast was very good and staff was inviting and helpful. Overall a very nice hotel.

Despite being part-way through a huge refurb, our stay was super! The hotel is elegant and stylish with comfortable beds and pillows. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and as it was my partner’s birthday, they left us a very welcome treat of chocs mini macarons as well as a complimentary glass of fizz. We had our dog with us and she was also made very welcome and staff gave her lots of fuss and a few treats. A wonderful hotel with wonderful staff. Thank you for a fab stay.

Great location in Bath

There was construction happening so the restaurant was closed but we were offered a complimentary breakfast from the continental in the morning. A great selection and fresh breakfast each morning. The room was very comfortable. The WiFi was not the strongest connection. Great location as its central and nearby to many of the attractions and restaurants.
