On starting my planning for this trip to England I considered a cruise ship booking but I desired the interaction with local people and a cruise does NOT do that, resorts and fancy accommodations are not my thing even if they were in my budget. I searched for inns(pub below and accommodations above). #1 I've never been one to sit and socialize at a "bar" in the States but here in England the Pubs the communal watering hole and just a part of the culture her AND I always choose an Inn close to the train station and downtown. The Griffin Inn met and exceeded those expectations. Rycroft, the Inn keeper, and his merry band at The Griffin Inn made my 5 day stay one I will always cherish. The Griffin Inn was like staying at a room above Cheers(tv show). After a day of touring and exploring it was wonderful to walk into the pub and I was someone in a strange land and after freshening up upstairs I'd come down for a pint, or two, and possibly have a delicious dinner without going out! Great location which I didn't realize till id walked around Bath(beautiful city) for a couple days. My room was small( I'm on a budget, but it was clean, coffee (of course tea) in the room and perfect for my needs. just a great little inn but Rycroft, only one thing missing ,,I want a T-shirt with your proud and beautiful Griffin Inn logo on it! Food great, location superb, fantastic value!

That I had to leave and no T shirt to remember your lovely inn on future travels and at home on Kauai. well done!

Staff was very nice. I stayed in room 3, which was the twin bed and the separate bathroom. The room was very cute and bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was nice and clean. The food downstairs was delicious. The location was perfect and pretty central to everything you could do there. Small fan was provided to help with the warm room.

I couldn’t get the window to stay cracked open or the curtains to stay up, I was going to ask the staff for help but they were very busy at the pub. The room doors closed forcefully which made me jump a few times but it didn’t bother me much. The shower head in my bathroom was quite dirty/moldy so it needs to be cleaned or replaced. I found it quiet throughout the night but I stayed a Sunday night.

The rooms are beautiful. Beds are so comfy. Tea coffee sugar coffee machine and toiletries are good quality. Bar and restaurant is great. Decorated lovely throughout. Location is ideal .Staff are spot on 👌 asked the inn before we arrived if they could help me with purchasing a helium balloon for the room as it was my mums 60th birthday and we were travelling from Devon to get there in the evening. They got the big 6 0 balloons attached to the headboard of the bed :) my mum was so so happy . They went above and beyond. Thank you so much guys . We loved it here were definitely coming back !!

The location was perfect. A short walk from the train station and a few steps from the city centre. It was especially convenient being able to drop things off at my room during the day and keep exploring. The room and bathroom were spotless and modern. The coffee machine and TV were a definite plus. They take great care in making sure you enjoy your experience, down to the little things.

The building is old so the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbours. That being said, it wasn't too much of a disruption. I would still stay here next time I'm in Bath.

I loved the location of the Inn. It was very close to everything I wanted to see. I loved the charm of the place; being in such an old building had cool vibes. I liked being able to grab a drink easily at the bar right there. I liked it that there is a separate entrance to go in if I didn't want to walk through the entire restaurant. And I also loved that there was a special seating area/lobby that the guests could use which contained tables, chairs and games to borrow. I thought that was very convenient although I didn't use.

I'd say the only thing that was a bummer was that in the app it said we could reach out if we wanted to store our luggage. I text the phone number provided as well as called several different phone numbers several times and I was not able to reach anyone. So unfortunately on my checkout day I did have to carry my luggage around quite a bit which was a little bit of an inconvenience. But this would not deter me from rebooking, I would just plan accordingly.

The bed pillows bedding was very very comfortable,it was lovely and clean . When arrived to the room there was a radio with music playing in the back ground. Food was good in the pub . Nice touches with the bottled water and biscuits. Staff friendly and polite. Rooms a little small but very cosy .A fantastic was in the room which I liked

Will only thing ,didn't like was no kettle for tea am a tea drinker but was only there one night ,plenty of cafes around it for my morning brew . Everything else was spot on .

Fantastic location - situated in a quiet street but just 2 to 5 minutes away in either direction from the City Centre shops, attractions. Station a little further away but easily walkable. I prefer to stay in a pub rather than hotel for short breaks as I often find it a less formal/stuffy environment - The griffin didn't disappoint. The room was comfortable with everything there that we needed. Plenty of storage space and tea/coffee making facilities that were topped up each day. The staff were fantastic, made us feel so welcome. Thank you so much to Pete, and Elle (cocktail maker extraordinaire) for looking after us so well. I'd definitely look to stay here again. If you're looking to partake in a spa-day during your visit, we would highly recommend the Gainsborough. May look on the pricy side but not surprising when you consider that you are bathing in THE Bath waters and get to spend most of a day there - I haven't ever felt that relaxed I don't think ever. My treatment was fabulous, facilities excellent and with a lovely afternoon tea at the end.

The only very slight grumble was that the room (particularly the shower room) was chilly in the mornings.

Great location. Cute bar downstairs for drinks and food if you like. Very friendly staff. It was clean and had everything you’d need for a short stay

A bit noisy in the evenings as the rooms are above the pub. However it all went quiet by 11pm it seemed. Also on the hottest day so far in Bath the room was sweltering with no fan or AC and the window could only be opened a little bit.

Brilliant location to explore beautiful Bath. The room was almost perfect for my needs - tastefully decorated, a very comfortable bed, radio tuned to a favourite station, and my own bathroom (not en suite). Breakfast was not included but that was fine - Bath had plenty of breakfast options!

I happened to stay on the hottest day of the year (30 + degrees) and the room was like an oven. But I did appreciate the quiet fan and window that opened.

I stayed in the Beau room and it was perfect for a solo traveller. The room was super clean and had great facilities. It was modern but had great classic decor. The whole pub actually had a great homely feel to it! All the staff were super friendly and helpful! Really enjoyed my stay at the Griffin. Location is great too - pretty much centre of town and yet on a quiet side street. They were more than happy to store my luggage before check in and after check out on the days I was travelling which was so kind!

Not an issue but quick info - No one is available to check you out until 11am - if you're leaving straight away this is no problem you can leave your room and key and it's all done. If you're travelling later in the day and want your bag stored meantime, you have to wait until 11 for someone to be there - again not really a major issue but good to know.
