Apex City of Bath Hotel

Location was excellent in the middle of everything, but not in a noisy part of the City, so quiet after midnight. Breakfast was good, but expensive. Room was big (Bed was Huge ;o), but very sparsely fitted out i.e. tiny wardrobe, nowhere to hang coats, basic bathroom (big, but basic).

No car park (although website suggested there was one).... you have to offload and park the car 10min walk away at your own additional cost (£15 for 24hrs). They have concierge car park service, but that is an additional £30!! Breakfast was good, but expensive and they try to get you to go early (before 8am) due to capacity issues - I don't want to get up on a Sunday for 8am! Checkout is early at 11am, especially given you can't check-in before 2pm. I travel EVERY week across Europe for work staying at hotels, and at these rates, I would have expected a much better experience.

The pool, sauna and steam room were great. The staff were helpful when we had to ask for things (tea bags, milk, toilet roll.... the basics).

The walk to the car park, getting drenched from head to toe several times just to park my car :(. Expensive on site car park left me no choice. The daily cleaning of the room was below parr. Dirty toilets, carpets not hoovered, surfaces left unclean. NOT IMPRESSED. Also very noisy house keeping team shouting loudly on corridors with a radio from 0800 is not very relaxing. I did not like that we were not informed about 2 x fire alarms. My mother (a pensioner) and I fled down 3 x flights fo stairs to be told (by an amused staff member) that it was just for staff! NOT IMPRESSED.
