I stayed here for a long weekend with my husband. I emailed the hotel prior to arriving to say it was our wedding anniversary and requested a room on the 1st floor. They told me there was usually an extra charge for these rooms but on arrivial had upgraded us free of charge. The room clean and contemporary in style... more

We stayed here at the beginning of August for the weekend, and found it to be a fantastic base to explore Bath. We were on a hen weekend, and were very well looking after by the hotel. The only minor complaint would be 1 of our twin rooms was changed for 2 doubles, due to the hotel overbooking, but they... more

I requested one of the refurbished rooms on the first floor, for my boyfriends birthday. Parking was £10 per day but really easy and the hotel were happy for you to leave the car a couple of hours after checkout. Checkin was quick, friendly and they wished my boyfriend happy birthday, nice personal touch. Really nice big clean room, nice... more

Bath is not short of pretensious Hotels with aromatherapy bath oils, absurd flower arrangements, floam flecked food towers and ghastly dressed-up provincial snobbery. How wonderful to find a truly old fashioned Hotel with creaking floorboards, faded chintz, theatrical photographs, spotless hygiene, excellent service and a wiff of gin n jags. It has had a rather wierd Sanderson type makeover of... more

We stayed at the Francis Hotel for 2 nights recently, for 'The Taste of Bath'. We had a modern contemporary room on the first floor. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is ideally located for all the main attractions of Bath. We enjoyed the dinner at the restaurant on the first night more

Jul 19, 2008

When we booked, this was one of the very few places which was both central and also did not have a min. 2 night stay at week-ends. It was not cheap, but accommodation in Bath is generally a bit expensive. Having read previous reviews, we requested one of the recently modernised rooms (see photos). The bed was big with crisp... more

Don't stay here! We booked 2 nights and left after the first night. The room floor sloped about 100mm - including the bed. That combined with the low ceiling (I couldnt lift my arms above my head) made me feel ill. To top it off - we scratched all night (the room was infested with some sort of mite) -... more

All in all we had a nice stay at the Francis Hotel in Bath. It's location in Queens Square was excellent. Our room was on the third floor and was very old fashioned. The only thing that keeps me from rating this hotel higher was the creakiness of our room. The weather was unusually warm and on the third floor... more

Hotel is very, very old, floors squeek badly, bathroom is the biggest problem. Nowhere to place your toiletries, no light in the toilet area which is separate from the bath/shower area, no light in or near the closet. Fan stays on in the bathroom when the light is turned off, this is particularly annoying at 4am, if someone goes to... more

This centrally located hotel was wonderful and I haven't a bad word to say about it. Getting upgraded to a four poster bedded room on the refurbished first floor obviously added to the enjoyment of the stay. The room was large, beautifully decorated, and I loved the bathroom. The bed was so comfortable - I wanted to take it home... more
