NIce Hotel in Bath

[AtYourCervix]

Nice but not too expensive.

Any recommendations?

The City Centre Travel Lodge is in a lovely old building and about a 1 minute walk into the shopping streets. Cheap but cheerful and with a bathroom that needed a bit of a revamp but was fine and clean etc, we literally only used the room for 'sleeping' and went shopping/meals out/sightseeing etc.

Our room looked out over the city roofs - it was beautiful really and only about £49 quid.

You can park overnight quite cheaply in the Charlotte street Carpark- about 10 mins walk from hotel.

aha! only need it for one night -of passion--. going to treat DH I rather fanied a suite at the royal crescent but its £900 a nighyt!

the blurb mentons it is above a nightclub. was it noisy?

nope - not noisy.
Just realised it's you!
Don't think we got in until about 12:30 and didn't hear anything then. Unless that nightclub wasn't there when we went.

It was about 5 yrs ago I guess

A friend of mine stayed at the Carfax a couple of years ago and said it was good - decent-sized rooms, quite central (short walk across Pultney Bridge to the Roman Baths etc) but away from the most crowded bits.

Only thing is I think it is a temperance hotel, ie doesn't serve any alcohol - so no room-service champagne. I don't think they can stop you sneaking your own into the room though.

Although I haven't stayed here, I have been for dinner a few times and it has always felt lovely (and I am very fussy) and is in a great location: The Windsor

My budget travel lodge suggestion now sounds really cack compared to those two

Sorry, I lied - dinner was at the Carfax, and the Windsor is near by. What about the Bath Spa hotel (a bit cheaper than the Royal Crescent, but maybe not much)?

i like the price of the travellodge

thanks all!

the travelodge is grim mind

prefer the holiday inn express, yes it's a little further to walk to, but it is nicer and includes breakfast

it was fine when we stayed furball. Perhaps you've stayed more recently though.
The room was clean, simply furnished, tv, coffee tray and small but clean bathroom.

we only wanted it for that - went out for breakfast and more shopping so that didn't bother us. But you could buy 'ready made' breakfast from the machine (cereal/croissant etc).

If atyourcervix wants luxury though - I agree, travel Lodge isn't in any way luxurious

our bathroom door was broken, so couldn't close it. It was a bit tricky as I was staying with a friend!

If you're happy to stay a little way outside the city, we recently stayed in a lovely B&B in Box (about 5 mins drive from the city). Otherwise there are a few manor-house hotels just outside the city (think in the direction of Limpley Stoke) which are lovely.

Ooh vintage - you must have been lucky with your room.

I stayed at that Travelodge in July this year and it was very very grim.

We had to move because of the nosie of the nightclub below. The noise all depends on where you are in the hotel as the windows aren't double glazed due to it being a listed building or something. Fag ends on the bedroom floor anyone?!

lol at dirty romantic weeked at limpley stoke

Not in LS furball! I went to uni in Bath and remember a really nice hotel around there - going back around 15 years though!

it's just that name is not appropriate for that sort of weekend

Hee hee!

I second the thoughts on the Travelodge though!

ok. not travel lodge then.

luxury would be nice but at budget price.

Harringtons is very central - again though it could be noisy (Bath city centre is very noisy at the weekends - and bastard seagulls squawking at 5am are a problem all the blinking week).

There are some nice suggestions here www.mrandmrssmith.com/destinations/united-kingdom/bath

The Town House

The Bath House luxury B&B is absolutely stunning and really reasonably priced compared to the hotels. It's about 15 mins walk to the city centre and there's a car park about a minute away. Breakfast in bed / your room is obligatory and me and the DH had some very raunchy good times there!
