Ideal place for an event at the university
Very clean and comfortable stay. Some better signage to find the block would have helped. At breakfast we were told it was until 10am, a couple after me arrived at 9.40 to be told it finished at 9.30am.

Great for traveling to Bath
Had a problem with the TV so I got moved to a different room, but the staff were very helpful. Very good location. Very good for travelling alone.

A kitchen you can't cook in!
The house was surrounded by cordoned off building works. Property advertised with kitchen, but be warned, there is no crockery, cutlery or pans, so you can't even make a cup of tea unless you take equipment. There was one grill tray which was absolutely filthy and contained old food. On arrival the staff at check in argued about giving me the token/ wristband to get breakfast, even though I showed my booking confirmation which clearly stated breakfast was included. The breakfast was decent. The room itself was clean but the flat sheet over the mattress stopped about 25cm from the top of the bed. I remade the bed but the sheet was only just long enough to reach from end to end (with nothing left to tuck in at the head or the foot.) The second night a hen party turned up so I got very little sleep. Mentioned it in passing at checkout because I kept yawning - they gave me a voucher to spend in the coffee shop, even though it wasn't their fault. At least I had enough caffeine to keep me awake on the drive home! This accommodation is OK for a cheap crash pad and it does have a good desk and free wifi, so useful if you need to get some work done. Convenient for exploring Bath as there is a regular bus service into the city centre that runs quite late. On the Sunday the buses didn't run on time: one didn't turn up, the next was very late, so a looong wait!

I was not told beforehand that there were building works happening at the same time as my stay and only found out when I entered my room and saw several workmen directly outside my window. As I had been travelling all day, I just wanted to relax, which is hard to do when something is being continuously drilled into your wall. A sign on the window said the work would only take place 9-5, but continued until 7pm and I was woken up the next morning around 7:30 with the sound of work restarting and workmen spitting outside my window. The overall cleanliness was poor, it was quite dusty and there were soap marks in the shower/sink and the floor wasn't clean. The staff on reception were lovely and breakfast was great too. If I had been aware of the building work beforehand, I wouldn't have stayed there and I'm annoyed that I've paid £55 for this.

We are sorry your stay with us didn't meet your expectations. We will look into why the building work was being completed outside the agreed hours of 9am - 5pm as this isn't usual practice. We are glad you were pleased with our staff and breakfast and hope you will return to stay with us in the future.

Good value alternative to ‘premier lodge’
Great value accommodation in peak tourist season, room was clean and tidy and breakfast was much better than expexpcted when an equivalent premier inn would be £90/night

Rooms are tiny, not very clean. All average, but the only affordable place anywhere near site. Bath is a massive rip off

The only thing I would say is that a kettle/coffee in the room would have been great. Fine to make coffee in the kitchen in the evening, but having to get up and make oneself respectable before heading down the corridor in the morning to get coffee seemed less than ideal. Otherwise, I was most impressed with the accommodation, and a good value-for-money breakfast.

Well worth the money. Accommodation in Bath in the summer season is not cheap. Bit far from the city but a regular bus service till midnight.

Great accommodation close to Bath.
Excellent. Staff were all very helpful. You benefit from all the amenities of the University and you are close to Bath city centre and some great town and country walks.

Very good quality at an excellent price, BUT:
Difficult to find in the dark - the address wasn't full enough from the Expedia website and I ended up in a farmyard. Having found it, the accommodation was very good: very clean and new, and the breakfast in te morning was very good, even if it was quite a walk away from the room; I'm not sure if there is a covered access for bad weather. The worst thing was a motor running all night; I thought it was the fan in the bathroom at first but that had a different sound and stopped after switching it off. This noise sounded as though it was not in my room, but in the building, possibly in the room next door, It was not a general hum, but had a pulse to it which made it even more annoying.
