Top Upper Town Hotel Reviews

De Vere Tortworth Court

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely time!"

Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is ideally located and was a great base for my stay. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, with an excellent shower and a very comfortable bed. The scent the hotel uses in the lobby is amazing. Parking was straightforward and conveniently located underneath the hotel. The only downside was the breakfast, which felt expensive for a fairly basic buffet, especially when there are better-value options available locally. Overall, a comfortable and convenient hotel, but I would recommend eating breakfast elsewhere."

Doubletree by Hilton Bath

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, easy to get around from and very clean! Staff were excellent, especially Abi, Ri (young lady with bright red hair - who was so sweet and helpful!), and Matteo too! This was my second time staying at this hotel, a year later, and would definitely choose this hotel again should I visit Bath again."
