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!

Great location

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.

A beautiful hotel, well maintained, above a really neat pub. The room was small and simple but clean and well taken care of. The location is great, very central. The breakfast was fantastic as was the gin and tonic and the Cornish stout!

Good size room which was clean. Breakfast included in the price which is great. Only downside is it is next to the main road and the walls are thin. Didn't disturb us at all but light sleepers may struggle.

We booked a couple of nights as we were going to Bath Venue two nights running! Great location, wonderful staff and lovely food. Breakfast was plentiful and freshly prepared. Had one evening meal there which was lovely, no complaints. It is situated in a busy are so noisy during the night but cant hold that against them. Will certainly book again!

Probably not everyone’s cup of tea. But I wanted a unique local experience in Bath. The property certainly delivered on that. There was a busy local pub. The breakfast was certainly one of the highlights. The room was large and the bed comfortable.

This place was fantastic, even though we had a minor issue checking in the girl working the bar was extremely friendly and helpful and everything was sorted out very quickly. When you walk in you walk into this cute and very amazing looking bar the drinks there were very good, they have a kitchen too but I never got the chance to try their food. The room also was amazing had lots of character and was perfect for me and my partner. The bathroom is very clean and the beds are comfortable. It's also in the perfect area super convenient and everything important is within walking distance and you're right around the corner from the Roman baths and right by a little city square that has lots of options for food. This place was perfect and we will be back. I highly recommend.

You must try The Black Fox

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Black Fox. Our room was clean and comfortable. Could not fault it. Will be booking again for future visits to Bath. Convenient for shops and 5 minute walk to Bath Forum. Food was delicious and great value for money.

Overall a good place to stay. Breakfast was very nice and staff provide excellent service. The only minor inconvenience we experienced during our stay was the occasional noise at night during strong winds, likely due to vibrations from outside, possibly caused by the building’s age.
