A Travelodge, and as you'd expect was clean and tidy, and the staff were helpful and friendly On site parking not free but reasonable at £9.90 for 24 hours. Caught an Uber (about £14 both trips) to visit beautiful Bath and enjoyed every minute of it, such an uplifting place, I didn't bother with the Roman Baths, bit too pricey for my liking, £25 If you're thinking of going then I'd recommend Travelodge Bath Waterside, it's just outside the centre, but it is within walking distance and not too expensive to catch a ride

Location is fantastic. Very short walk to the main sites in Bath. Did have to ask to change rooms though after finding our room was very dark (Rm 405). There was nothing wrong with the room, had a small window and the location didn't allow for much sunlight. The front desk were amazing and swapped us to a different room. Did miss aircon in the room though. There was a fan, and this did help to some degree. Parking isn't great here. Spaces seem smalled than usual. Didn't help with most people not knowing how to park within lines. Parking is chargeable, even for guests. Would, 100%, stay here again when in Bath again.

Lovely stay at this location. Rooms were good, but in my opinion were looking a little tired. There was also no air conditioning in the room, so was a little warm for me. Service was great, friendly woman working the front desk, all staff we encountered were nice and professional. Location is great, 10 minute walk (if that) into Central Bath. Parking at this site is via a third party and costs £9 for 24 hours.

We had a really nice time in Travelodge waterside, it’s located within a 5 mins walk from the city, the hotel including our room was clean, parking was spacious, and the service provided by the reception staff was excellent. Jamie at the reception was super friendly, very helpful, provided great information on the city and its hot spots. He was very professional and went on an extra mile to make our experience even more pleasant. Overall, it’s a great experience and we look forward to visiting here again.

We visited Bath fir the Christmas market and this hotel was conveniently located. Offering a family room to fit 3 adults and a child was a real positive. We dined in, the menu was a little limited but if decent quality. Breakfast was good, with a full English selection, plus the usual cereal, fruit, etc. The staff were brilliant too, returning our childs' soft toy we inadvertently left behind.

We stayed for 5 nights. Room was spacious for 3 of us. Breakfast really good. Stuff very friendly. Parking it available outside of the hotel however when we stayed it was very busy so I don't think there was enough parking spaces for all the guests. It's a walking distance to the city centre and petrol station and supermarket are nearby.

For the price range, you can't complain at all with this travelodge! Clean rooms, friendly staff, good location for Bath. The breakfast is okay, it covers all the bases but not the most exciting. The car park does get very full, but the hotel is trying to ensure its only used by travelodge guests with a sign in screen at reception. Would 100% stay again for an affordable stay in Bath

Great location, walking distance to anywhere in Bath centre. Loved my room view. Only complaint is the windows needed cleaning, a great view but dirty windows, I anticipate the answer re outside the window,but inside window was dirty too, with cobwebs around top of curtains. Everywhere else was clean
