Lovely hotel within 5 mins walk of many attractions. Lots of restaurants in the area. Restaurant on site was good. Coffee shops for breakfast near the Abbey are 5 mins away. Lovely being opposite the park Square but quite noisy if you are on that side. I rate it highly for all aspects except price as £240 per night not including any food is awful.

Excellent facilities, poor services

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Martha V 15/09/2021 TripAdvisor review

It is a marvellous hotel with beautiful rooms and public areas but very poor housekeeping services, to the extent that I felt it was not value for money. In 6 days towels and bed linen were only changed once -after I asked- and room cleaning was kept to a bare minimum. It is a pity for such a hotel in such price range.

Firstly I must say the staff were all charming and very helpful. However I am VERY surprised that there are rooms in the hotel which have windows painted shut, and though the breakfast was delicious the coffee was horrid.

Overall a good stay.When we arrived there was some con fusion which could have been avoidedif someone had appeared to have overall control. But after that everything was good with a lovely room and particularly well designed bathroom and shower.The breakfast was excellent and I would especially commend the gentleman who appeared to hold everything togther.!

Great short stay in Bath

Spent 1 night during Summer BH weekend. Location is perfect, staff very nice & available. Small negative point is the noise in the room, which was a communicating one (though not from the same party). And a nespresso machine mentioned in the confirmation and none in the room.

good location . helpful and friendly staff

Val B. Couples - 12/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

clean and tidy rooms and a good size , staff were welcoming ,friendly and helpful. Restaurant had limited menu apparently due to staff shortages and service was slow probable for the same reason. week booked for dinner bed and breakfast which was a mistake , just breakfast would have been fine and lots of restaurant within walking distance, we were able to get parking in the hotel car park luckily at £20 a night. would probably stay there again as such a good location.

Excellent position for city sights.

Robert B. Couples - 12/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

A slightly "tired" hotel. Behind the times with all the notices about "social distancing" and the implied impropriety of not wearing a face mask (which we did not). None of these things are any longer necessary or desirable. Bar ran out a beer which I wanted and it was not replenished for our whole 3 day stay! Unacceptable. The wait for breakfast to be served after ordering was up to 30 minutes. Again, unacceptable. I am sure you will have myriad excuses for all these things, but to still charge full price for a room which was not serviced during our stay is very poor value. Had to insist on clean towels and other supplies after 2nd day. You comments would be welcome!

Good location, functional but average stay

Mr W. Couples - 12/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Third time at this hotel, staff and location great. Services poor. Lift out of order for the two days we were at hotel. Breakfast very poor value for money. On the latter point, although staff were cleansing (not cleaning) tables the surfaces loooked and felt dirty, with crockery sticking to the surface. Breakfst value poor, coffee tepid, and toats served on plate under food could not be cut with knifes presented, even a steak knife when presented.

Well located

Comfortable and well located. Lift not working and restaurant choices and quality very poor, for dinner and breakfast.

Excellent stay in Bath again

We have stayed at the Francis several times over the years and always found it a delightful and very convenient base for visiting Bath. The service is always 1st class and the hotel offers everything we need at an acceptable price.

Great location

Jo Friends - 12/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Mixed review, Great location, rooms on the whole clean and all necessities present, room 1 only had 1 curtain, room 2 our replacement room the next day had a sink that never let the water out. The breakfast was nice, but I was given an open used jam. No sauces offered both days. Evening meal was nice.

Disappointing stay

Customer review rating 2.5/5

Gillian F. Friends - 11/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed for 3 nights earlier this week . Given a superior room where disappointingly the AC was ineffective, the windows wouldn’t open , a lamp was faulty , there were no instructions to operate the shower (in the superior room pics there’s a bath - but not for us) and the kettle would not fit to fill in under the tap . We were promised refills of tea, coffee, water and toiletries etc , but had to ask every time we wanted anything . The adjoining restaurant was also very disappointing serving cabbage as spring greens and hard potatoes (and two of the three nights very slow service) . The bar had limited drinks and no cocktails . The rooms didn’t reflect our initial impression on entering the hotel which was a shame . We complained about all these things but weren’t even offered a complimentary drink!

Lovely hotel

It was lovely. We were given a lovely room at the back of the hotel so it was a quiet night and we all had a good night sleep

We enjoyed our stay very much, we have stayed at the Francis many times and always have a great time, location is brilliant and staff are too. I had a gift in the bedroom for my birthday which was very kind. Breakfast is good too.

Stay once at the Francis and I promise you will keep on returning. Beautiful, characterful hotel, perfectly situated with delicious cuisine. This is my fourth stay and I can’t wait to book again.
