I always have a lovely stay at The Edgar. It's clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff are friendly and go above and beyond. On my last stay, the receptionist, Debbee, even heard that it was my birthday and brought some chocolates up to my room! I have stayed here a lot and my time at the guesthouse is consistently a great experience. The breakfasts are great and the rooms are bright. It is great value in a great location. I can't praise them enough. I really recommend staying in this beautiful guesthouse. :

Charming little hotel. Very clean and the gentleman at the reception is very nice and helpful. I liked the breakfast room. It's nicely decorated and the other resting room is also very pretty. Breakfast is very simple and i think this hotel would benefit if it was a buffet but for one night it was fine. At least they have a veg option for the breakfast so that was handy for me. My room was clean but small compare to the picture.
I think there are larger rooms as well for a more expensive price so here we go. The shower was very warm and since it was a freezing day that was pleasant. Due to sash traditional windows the room was cold even when the radiator was on but that is me being used to super warm i guess. Bed very confortable and location is very convenient in a Fairly quiet street 10 min walk from the main town centre. You can get a voucher from the hotel to park your car for 8 pounds a day unless you pay at the machine a little further down.

I had a very pleasant 2-night stay here. The hotel is in my favourite part of Bath - a quiet area just a short walk from the centre. Both my room and communal areas were clean, had a lot of natural light and good WiFi connection. The staff was friendly and attentive.

Fantastic little hotel a few minutes walk from bath town center. The breakfast menu is pretty extensive with poached eggs and salmon as a choice and plenty of other breakfast choices from full English, cereal, bagels and cream cheese and other things. Staff were very friendly and helpful and accomodating. Room was cosy and clean as was the ensuite. Perfect for a couple of nights. The one thing I will say is this: Turn off the floodlight outside the hotel.
It shines directly into the bedrooms and the blinds in the bedrooms don't block out the light that well. The light shines around the blind and into the room disturbing our sleep. That said I would absolutely stay here again. We've had s fantastic time and been to the spa and Roman baths less than a 10 minute walk away!
