Where to Stay in Bath
You can cross Bath on foot in a short time, and its hotels sit mostly in the Georgian centre or on the slopes above it. The real choice is between convenience and quiet.
Near the station
Bath Spa station is on the edge of the centre, so a hotel close by makes arrival easy for anyone travelling by train. The streets around it carry more traffic than the ones higher up the hill, so ask which side of the building your room is on before you confirm.

Milsom Street and the centre
Milsom Street and the streets around it are elegant, central and a short walk from nearly everything. Some of them are closed to ordinary traffic, so find out where a taxi can stop. A central hotel keeps the whole evening within a few minutes on foot, though you should expect more people about at weekends.

Up on Lansdown
Lansdown rises to the north of the centre and is a real climb from the middle of town. It is quieter and more residential, with a more private feel, but you will want a taxi to go up and a plan for coming back down. Bath's hills deserve respect when you are carrying luggage or wearing the wrong shoes.

Widcombe for a calm base
Widcombe lies just beyond the station, with a village atmosphere and independent shops. It suits a visitor who wants a slower pace while staying within walking distance of the centre. Choice is limited here, so see what is really on offer first.

Small buildings, simple questions
Many older buildings have no lift and only one entrance, which can mean a more personal welcome but fewer private corners. Ask about both when you book. Every listing on our site, like the site itself, is limited to people aged 18 and over.

Hills, steps and luggage
Many streets above the centre include steps and steep pavements, and some older buildings have several flights of stairs between the street and the room. If you are carrying a bag or find stairs difficult, ask for a ground floor or lift served room when you book. Taxis can usually reach the larger streets but not every lane, so confirm where the driver will set you down and how far you must walk with your luggage.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the centre is compact and mostly walkable. The hills to the north are the exception, where a taxi saves effort.
The upper slopes towards Lansdown are the quietest, but they are a climb. Widcombe is calmer than the centre and easier on foot.
