wonderful central stay!

central location great breakfast friendly staff
The location was superb. i walked to the roman baths and the abbey within minutes. Everything was so close! the breakfast had a really lovely selection, and the food tasted excellent. all the staff i met were friendly, especially henry. I felt welcomed.
the tv didn't have signal, and i could only use it with streaming apps with a personal account. this was a little inconvenient after a long day.

The hotel had a good range of local craft beers, ciders, and spirits. I found something new to try each evening! the inclusive breakfast in the room rate included quality ingredients with generous portions, i really appreciated that.

central location generous portion great shower narrow stairwell vegetarian food bad tv signal
the location, i tell you, its so central. it's close to everything really. i also liked the breakfast. it had generous portions, i must say. the shower in my room was also great. it had good pressure and temperature were constant.
the stairs was narrow. it was a challenge lugging my luggage up there. also, i noticed the tv had no signal. streaming was the only option, which requires a personal account. plus, the vegetarian food choice was bad. i had asked beforehand, which makes it more irritating.
