I cannot fault the customer service here. Bianca, the assistant manager who looked after us, couldn't do enough. Nothing was too much trouble. She and the other staff we met were so polite and helpful I would award them 5*+. Overall I have given the hotel a 4. We stayed in the Grand Suite and it's gorgeous (although the wallpaper is a little questionable!) We will definitely return when we're back in Bath.

The staff are very friendly and professional and the breakfast is very good. a mixed variety to choose from.will always stay here when in Bath.

Firstly all the staff were amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. Giving tips on the best route into town and offering a map was really helpful, thanks again. Good location being about 5-10 min walk from the centre. I was lucky enough to get an upgrade on my room (Zen) which was large and had plenty of space. I liked the fact it had an off site entrance and the garden views were pleasant. Shower was warming & powerful while the bed was comfy. Breakfast was perfect on both days, very good quality ingredients. Wonderful stay and would love to return!

I stayed here for only one night at the Empire room. The decoration is absolutely beautiful. Some items require a bit of update but overall this was a very comfortable room. The breakfast was also nice with an English Breakfast menu. However, what stroke me the most was the professionalism and simpathy of the staff. Everyone was so genuinely nice, which is rare to find in hospitality service these days.

Positives: friendly staff and a nice big room. Negatives: the hotel looks a bit tatty outside, the car park is a bit small and tight (although at least it has one) and my traditional English breakfast was cremated to the point of it almost inedible. So ok but not amazing.

This guesthouse is lovely. It's elegantly decorated and has some lovely period details. I would highly recommend a stay here, it has a great garden and location. The best thing about the Arlington is the staff. They are really helpful and friendly and make you feel very welcome. to top it off there is free parking!
