It took me quite some time to settle on a hotel to stay at during our visit to Bath, but I am glad I picked the Landsdowne Grove.

The hotel and our room was clean and comfortable and there was ample space for two people, the staff were polite and friendly and there was plenty of space in the hotel car park, something which is a plus point in a city like Bath.

There have been previous comments about creaky floor boards which I noticed as I walked down the corridor to our room, but I wouldn't say that it was a major issue, maybe if you are a light sleeper then request a room to the back of the hotel, as we were not disturbed by creaky floor boards once.

The hotel is about 15 minutes walking distance into the centre of Bath, but is on a slight hill, I contemplated catching a taxi or the bus back to the hotel but decided to walk back up the hill which wasn't as tiring as I first thought, the location of the hotel is definately a plus point as you are a couple of minutes outside the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

We came here for a weekend break with our young daughter and had a lovely time. Our room was not large but beds spacious and comfy, room cosy and warm, lots of wardrobe space and everything clean. We did not have an evening meal here as chose to take advantage of the wide choice of restaurants in Bath. Breakfast was fine - self service with loads of choice from Continental to English Cooked. The staff were polite, courteous and welcoming.

I would definitely recommend this hotel but do feel that it is overpriced so try and get a good deal. Also the only real negative comment I would make is that there are not enough car parking spaces so we had to park on the road.

On the plus side: the hotel is situated on a hill with a commanding view of the city of Bath. A converted mansion, the building has a lot of character and the lobby, bar, and sitting rooms are cozy and comfortable. Our room was great; we were on the top floor with three windows and a 180 degree view of the city. One morning we ordered breakfast in the room just so we could sit, relax and admire the view.

On the negative side: not all the rooms are like ours. We were with a tour group and a few people found themselves in attic rooms originally intended for servants. Watch out for the room you are given! Also, the single elevator contends for the Guinness record as the world's smallest. It moves at a glacial pace and can hold three with no luggage at most. We chose to climb the three flights of stairs.

I booked this hotel as a 60th birthday gift for my mum, both my mum and dad are very fussy about the accomodation they stay in, when they arrived at the hotel they were able to check in 2 hours earlier than normal check in time wthout any fuss at all, and when my parents got to their room they had been upgraded to an executive suite as a gesture of goodwill and the hotel had off their own back, placed a box of belgium chocolates on the bed with a hand written card made out to be from me, which was such a lovely gesture.
my parents dined in the hotel restaurant on both nights they stayed there and found the food excellent, and again they are very fussy with food as well!., they also commented that the breakfast was superb too!.
They thoroughly enjoyed their stay at this hotel and said they will definately be returning.
Remember that most people that make reviews are those that wish to complain, not many people do ever write to companys to say that service was good, they only ever write to complain!
This hotel made my mums 60th one to remember........and all for the right reasons!!!
