Hotel itself was beautiful and grounds were well maintained. Rooms were spacious, though the lack of air conditioning could be a real problem in summer months. Front desk staff was helpful, but we found the service at the restaurant and bar extremely lacking for the amount that the hotel is charging. Atmosphere inside the hotel was a bit stuck up, so this would not be a good place to travel if you want to dress comfortably while you're in common areas.

The hotel was also located over a mile from the city center of Bath, which required us to get a taxi every time we wanted to go to a restaurant or explore. Taxis and Uber were a bit difficult to come by once you were in the city, which made every outing stressful. Overall, if relaxed comfort during your stay and touring the city of Bath are high on your priorities, I would not recommend this hotel.

Booked afternoon tea at 3 pm and we had to wait for 50 mins for even water to come out to the table let alone the rest of the food and drinks. Food and tea came out one hour later. Very poor service and a big waste of our precious time on vacation. Never coming back.

Stayed at the Bath Priory for 4 nights as a treat. We have stayed at two other hotels in the chain and like the environment. This was a lovely stay; our room (Geranium) had lovely views of the 4 acre gardens and was a real sun trap in the morning as the sun rose. Excellent facilities, very high quality food (if a little pricey) and very comfortable, we had a great experience trip using the hotel as a base to explore Bath and the surrounding area.

A pleasant walk into Bath across Royal Victoria Park is recommended, although coming back up the hill might not suit everyone - there are good public transport links (2.20 for a bus into town or around 10 for a taxi - 2022 prices). We intend to try other hotels in the chain and highly recommend this location as a special occasion treat.
