Our second stay at Eight. Warm welcome at reception. This time we had a Superior King room which is in a separate building to the main hotel - only 1 min walk away which wasn't a problem. The room is in a lovely building, beautifully decorated, spacious with high ceilings and spotless ensuite shower room. Comfortable bed and good selection of tea/choc/coffee in the room.

Whilst the location in central Bath is great, it meant this room was noisy. It was on the ground floor by the main entrance so there was quite a bit of door slamming and we had loud upstairs neighbours who you could hear walking around (heavily) both at night and first thing in the morning from about 06.30. Plus, we were unlucky to have a shop alarm going off for an hour first thing and vehicles reversing right outside the window. Obviously not the hotel's fault but worth considering if you want a quiet lie in.

The location is great, right in the middle of the old town, three minutes walking distance to Baths. The hotel is small and the building is very old, possibly from 1500s but that is what you expect from a building that sits next door (literally) from the oldest surviving residential building in town, from the 1400s. Although old, the hotel is well mantained and very clean. There is a bar in the basement that is up to you to use after the personnel leaves at about 6 pm. You just keep a record of what you drink and of course you can bring your own food and drinks. We had a good time there. Our son had his own room, basically. His quarters had no door, but it was a separate space with a bed, very convenient.

Nothing, really. You need to understand the limitations, that you are going to a historical building that must have relatively small rooms, short doors etc, a small inconvenience as part of the experience. Once you adjust your expectations, this hotel will surprise you as a really comfortable and welcoming place.

We stayed in one of the large rooms that come with the roll top bath that looked over the square. The location was amazing for getting around Bath centre. Close to everything and quite a buzzing atmosphere. It’s a very short walk from reception. Room was clean and tidy and comfortable. Only downside we had was that you’d expect a bigger bed for the size of the room.

Fantastic location, comfortable bed, powerful showers, clean, staff were great, loved the honesty bar.

It was a bit warm and hard to cool down as our room was below ground level and the bathroom was lower still with no external ventilation so showering really warmed the whole room, and the one window didn’t create enough airflow. We were also below the main hallway and the room above us seemed to think moving around and dropping things at 4am was ok. So it was a bit hard to sleep with the noise of footfall above us. That said earplugs were provided!

Staff were great and helpful. Venue terrific. Room very good. We didn't use the bar, but it looked really nice.

Breakfast options could have been better. There was no cereal of any sort and all the cooked breakfast options included egg, which neither of us eat. The bacon, mushrooms and sausages were very good.

This hotel truly deserves its fabulous rating. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Beautiful room with thoughtful touches like bottled water, homemade biscuits and even a Christmas card and cracker! Breakfast was £20 pp and well worth the money, we are foodies and this exceeded our expectations. We loved the location being so close to the shops and markets. The honesty bar just topped off the whole experience for us … we can’t wait to return one day

That we had to leave

Beautiful building and a large beautiful room. The location was outstanding for a tourist. The hotel has no parking but there is a 20 minute loading zone just a 1/2 block away. The staff took out suitcases to our room while we moved our car to public parking, which was super sweet!

The bed was quite soft and uncomfortable. We were in the second building on Abbey Green and it was very LOUD. Garbage trucks, street sweepers, people yelling, etc.

Eight is in a fabulous central location. There may be a little night time noise though but it did not bother us. The staff could not be more helpful and allowed us to book in early as our room was ready. They gave us great recommendations for places to visit. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable we highly recommend

Obviously there is no parking facilities- but we knew this before booking. This is likely the same as most other hotels in this central location

Had an excellent 2 night stay at Eight to celebrate my partners birthday. The room we stayed in was the “snug” room however we still had plenty of space and the room itself was spotlessly clean. The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring the city and super super close to the Roman Baths! The staff were extremely polite and helpful. We even had balloons & chocolates in our room to celebrate my partners birthday which was lovely. Really couldn’t fault our stay at Eight!

The only thing I would say is possibly some more choice on breakfast menu! I’m not a huge fan of cooked breakfasts so had the continental which was really good! Just would like maybe some other option that wasn’t cooked breakfast.

The staff at Eight were extremely helpful. We arrived late and they were extremely thorough in making sure I had the instructions for self check-in. We were comfortable in our lovely room just off Abby Green with the incredible Giant Plane Tree! Bath is beautiful and a great place to visit and take in the gorgeous Georgian and Roman architecture. Stay at Eight and you'll be happy 😊
