Helpful efficient staff great room very comfortable bed splendid shower

Richard, United Kingdom

It is a fine old hotel right in the middle of the action, Easy walking distance to the Roman Baths and most attractions. Hop on Hop off buses are close by and take you to the other sites if walking is a problem. The room was of moderate size, very clean and had a good bed. Coffee, bottled water, hair dryer etc. are included. The main floor of the hotel is upscale and beautifully appointed. The are several places where you can sit and have a drink or just talk if you are in a group. Hotel staff are their if you require anything, but are not pushy.

Paul, Canada

We had a large room that allowed us to spread out and feel as though we were in a fine house rather than a hotel. The concierge was exceptionally helpful and attentive. He made our experience a pleasure. Some of the other staff could learn from him.

Tim, Australia

The staff were great and very welcomming, all seemed to have good knowledge of the area

An Inside Look at Francis Hotel Bath - MGallery by Sofitel

Our unique and distinctive hotel occupies seven of the original 18th Century townhouses that make up the south side of the centrally located and sought-after address of Queen Square in Bath. Queen Square is the first element in the most important architectural sequence in Bath, which also includes the King’s Circus and the Royal Crescent. Built between 1728 and 1736, Queen Square was designed by John Wood the Elder (1704-54) who set out to provide an architectural masterpiece for the chic members of society “to assemble together”. The hotel’s seven townhouses are now seamlessly interconnected to house 98 luxurious bedrooms, all individually styled, with many of the Feature Rooms offering four-poster beds and glorious views over the eternally fashionable city of Bath. Of course, in time-honored British tradition, afternoon tea is served daily at Francis Hotel. Visitors may also partake in informal yet intimate dining in a choice of snug, bar and lounge areas. A short stroll through the hotel takes guests into celebrated chef Raymond Blanc’s Brasserie Blanc, where the food served is reminiscent of high quality, informal French cooking.

눉Breakfasts at the hotel seemed a bit pricey at 20 pounds a person. We were there in September and there was a lot of street noise after dark. This seemed to be students partying at the beginning of the semester. We were on the top floor and facing the street and it was a problem for sleep. To be fair, friends of ours staying in a different area of the hotel did not have this problem. Also on a different month there may not be as much youthful activity. Parking was off site and running to feed the meter from time to time was annoying.
눇It is a fine old hotel right in the middle of the action, Easy walking distance to the Roman Baths and most attractions. Hop on Hop off buses are close by and take you to the other sites if walking is a problem. The room was of moderate size, very clean and had a good bed.

눉Breakfast was disappointing. A buffet service that required us to ask for the eggs and bacon to be replenished. The front of house staff didn't seem to care about customer service.

눉Lack of communication between hotel and restaurant. We were on a half board and had to explain to restaurant we were only paying for drinks each night. Breakfast limited in scope for a 4 star place. For example the fruit salad was nearly all cut up apple. Not a strawberry to be seen! TV didn't work and we needed to move rooms. We were moved to one slightly smaller!
