First time visiting Bath, loads to do and enjoyed the hop on hop bus which helped us find the attractions. Hotel was only a short walk from the centre of Bath so it was in a great location. Car park was full when we arrived and it took some time to find a car parking space on the road near... More

We booked a couple of days after the Easter break, a twin room and a single for our daughter. The twin room was spacious with a large modern bathroom - thick white towels supplied and the extra complementary bath products; all very clean and tidy, and beds comfortable with extra blankets and pillows if required. The single room, although smaller... More

Had a most enjoyable stay at The Carfax Hotel beginning of March. We stayed in room 27, a superior double; a large room with traditional decor and fantastic views across bath from the three large sash windows. The room was extremely spacious, comfortable, well appointed, quiet and clean. The staff helpful and friendly, and the location fantastic. Another bonus was... More

My friend and I stayed one Saturday in March in a twin room, room 21, which faces the street. It was a 'plus' room and was very spacious with high ceilings and a good sized bathroom including shower over bath. The room was nice and traditional - quite Jane Austen in style. We really enjoyed our stay. Plus points were:... More

Walk to central Bath in 5 minutes across the Pulteney Bridge. In a beautiful street, with great views from upper back windows. Quite area, park behind, Holburne Museum a block away. Nice lounge. Breakfast is first rate. Sunday roast dinner. Has a cozy feel. Only a couple dozen rooms in three townhouses.

The Carfax is in a great location - 2 blocks or so from Pulteney bridge, the Baths, the cathedral etc. The room can be small, but others are fine. The topmost rooms are _very_ small, and we refused ours, got one on a lower floor that was newer, fresher, and bigger. Plus the lift was out so up 5 (or... More

We had a great stay here. Parked right outside with a permit from the hotel. 8 minute walk to Roman Baths and Abbey. Small room but comfortable and cosy. Really polite and helpful staff. Cooked breakfast included and very nice. Good value for money.

I stayed here with a group of friends. We found the staff helpful and courteous and the rooms pleasant. The room was clean and the bathroom adequate. The hotel is excellently situated near the town centre but is really quiet. Our room was at the back and had a nice view and no passing traffic. The breakfast was very good... More

All the rooms here are fine but if using the included Internet is important to you be sure to book a room on a lower floor otherwise the signal will be aggravatingly weak. Rates do vary quite a bit according to the season. An exceptional plus point here is the first class breakfast.
