Visited the Royal Bath with my girlfriend for a midweek getaway. We had decided to treat ourselves to a premium priced hotel rather than a Premier Inn etc, so paid for five nights at £97 per night for bed and breakfast. We noted that there were mixed reviews for the hotel, but because it was a DeVere we decided to... More

My husband and i and our dog Molly were made very welcome in the Royal Bath Hotel. The room had wonderful sea views and was light and airy. The wonderful character of this old hotel remains, all the wonderful architecture of time gone by is there to admire. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast had a very... More

I have come to believe that a hotel is only as good as its cheapest room, at the Royal Bath it is about £79 and that is still expensive. Service reflects this amount. I have just come back from an overnight stay with my aged parents, which necessitated a connecting room, and the only one available was £228 so with... More

I am a business traveller and see the in side of many a hotel room. I have to say this is not your average Hilton where the light switch is on the left the upright lamp in the corner and bathroom of a description not worthy of called luxury. This is an older style hotel, granted, but full of character.... More

Just spent a night at the Royal Bath and was disappointed with the hotel and value for money. We paid £149, which included a cold breakfast. On arrival we had two options for parking and opted to pay £20 to have valet parking. Very friendly chap and couldn't do enough for you. Shown to our room, which was clean but... More

I admit, I arrived late but it wasn't a good start when I tried to park my car and there was no signage to suggest that is was concierge parking only. On calling the reception which was painful as I had to be redirected from central reservations, I was told to park at the front of the hotel and my... More

I stayed here with friends some years ago and it was very good. However: recent visits to the bar and restaurant have not been so good. I took 6 guests for Afternoon Tea and at £13 odd per person - the poor barmaid obviously had not served teas before and everything arrived at different times and the tea was cold... More

My first visit here and the Roman Colanades and other classical design features gave the place an old world charm that even 4 hen parties in the bar couldn't diminish. Our room was spacious with a really comfy king size bed with solid walls that kept any noise out. There is an indoor pool that leads to the Cafe Promenade... More
