Very comfortable with great room facilities and an excellent breakfast. Parking is a problem at the Bear with few spaces on site and in the surroundings.

10/10 Exceptional

We booked this location based on other reviews and were not disappointed. Staff were very accommodating and welcoming. Food was very good, our room was clean and spacious with lovely decor. As in other reviews be prepared for the walk up the hill from the city centre. It’s a long one but worth it when you get to the top!

Fantastic first trip to Bath!

Fantastic hotel in a great location for walking down into Bath (although steep walk back up), and ideal for getting train into Bristol. All the staff were lovely and very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was delicious every morning!!! Room was great and although by a main road, was not disturbed by noise at all. Would definitely book again if ever travelling to that area!!!

Cuteness overload

The room was excellent, clean, and adorable. The beds were comfortable. The restaurant on the first floor was very good with options that tasted great at reasonable cost for vegetarian/vegans. The inn is located a bit from down town, it is close to a grocer and pharmacies.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed for 2 nights, great location for a short walk into bath. Free parking is a great plus. The walk into bath is a fairly steep hill so bare that in mind. Hotel itself superb, really friendly team immaculate room with a touch of class. Nice vibrant pub below.

Comfortable and helpful staff

Very good hotel and the staff were exemplary. Breakfast was limited but the cooked food was excellent though took some time to prepare. Sadly, the coffee making machine was broken for entire stay and only instant available.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The staff were very friendly but the entrance and check in area was so underwhelming and stank of wee or a strange ammonia type cleaning fluid, as did the stairwell and hall areas. Not helped by the fact we had to wait some time to check in because the bar was showing a football game. I heard other guests comment on the smell as well at breakfast. For the price I would have expected much better pillows and a cleaner more high end guest reception. A bit grubby and unkept overall and more basic than the price indicated. I don’t think I would stay again, even if they had an offer on. On the plus side, road noise and bar noise was minimal.

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is a easy walk to downtown...more of a challenge back (hill). Parking was easy out back and hotel has nice restaurant/bar downstairs (was very busy the night we were there.). Surprisingly, even though the room was over the bar and next to busy road, it was quite quiet. The only downside to the hotel was lack of elevator but at least there was only one floor.😁

Good spot above nice pub

Excellent stay. Good location just outside the city centre. Check in was quick and easy. Room clean and very quiet, well equipped and plenty of sitting space. Two minor gripes: the bed was quite small even though there was definitely space for a king size in the room, and the extractor fan in the bathroom made an annoying clicking sound, which led us to turning it off.

Large comfortable room

Very welcoming check in and out. Room number 2. Large comfortable room and bathroom. Quiet. Toiletries, coffee machine, tea, biscuits, water provided. Approx 20 mins walk into city centre (a bit of a hill coming back up but perfectly do-able). Tasty large breakfast (paid for separately) Very friendly. Will definitely stay again

10/10 Exceptional

Had a 2 night stay to visit the Bath Christmas market. Parking was readily available onsite and the check-in process was easy and prompt with the friendly staff. The room exceeded our expectations with a lovely shower and freestanding bath, large wall mounted tv and separate radio. Whilst being located outside the city centre, it was only a 15 minute walk to the centre using the short cuts (thanks to Google maps). Would highly recommend

Room was lovely however, water pressure wasn't great and it took ages to fill the bath in the room we were in. The breakfast options were a bit lax, no congenital options and if you're not a fan of eggs then menu is a bit limited. Otherwise location is fab, really short walk to and from the city centre and the hill on the way back really isn't that bad. All the staff at the hotel were lovely and welcoming, room was spotless and very clean. All in all we would come back.
