What guests think
The Black Fox is a characterful pub-with-rooms praised for friendly staff, clean and comfortable bedrooms, and a tasty included breakfast, creating a welcoming base with plenty of charm in an old building.
Its location is close to the Roman Baths, shops, and the train station, making most sights walkable. Recurring drawbacks include no lift and steep stairs, some street noise at night, warm rooms in hot weather with limited airflow, off-site paid parking, and breakfast service starting at 8am which can clash with early plans. Best suited to travellers who value character and service over modern conveniences.

Super Cool place to stay, right in the heart of beautiful Bath. A lovely bar/ restaurant downstairs and modern remodeled rooms above. Breakfast was terrific. The surrounding area was just amazing. So much history and beauty. Please note : A remote car park is needed if you’re driving. There are options close by.

Love the room! Clean and spacious. The reason I gave only 4 stars is the steps you have to climb to get to your room. In our case, we were given a room on the 4th (or was it 3rd) floor and it's a good thing we were only carrying an overnight bag and not a 50 lbs luggage.

A great find, right in the city centre. We had the spacious room with the bath. All perfect; comfy, clean, warm. Everything we needed. Used the toiletry products - just would have appreciated a conditioner to go with the shampoo, a minor thing. Breakfast was great too, perfect poached eggs. Being city centre, there is no on-site parking - but very near to car parks and train/bus stations. A great service to store our luggage before and after our stay. Thank you!

Bathroom floor has broken tiles with loose pieces that nearly cut my foot. The room had no access from the pub, we had to go outside and then in a side door. We only had one key between us so we had to go in and out together and one of us could not go on with friends.

Such a cute building in the heart of Bath, a quick walk to so many attractions such as the Roman Bath itself, coach station, and parks. Breakfast was so delicious and the staff were the friendliest people. The room itself was very cute and simple with an updated bathroom but it had little airflow and after 50 steps to the top floor in the middle of summer, it became very stuffy. The fan that was included in the room helped but our shower only seemed to give out hot water and was very confusing to use. I would absolutely love to stay again, probably not during the warmer months or at least try for a room on one of the other floors, but I did enjoy the stay here. And again, the food was SO GOOD!

Best part is the location, super close to the town center! Breakfasts were excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful. My room was on the top floor. Old building, so the winding staircase and slanting floors were not a surprise. Didn’t like the odor in the room, and could not open the window or ventilate any other way. Poor water pressure, sometimes cold water not available. Nicely updated bathroom, comfy bed, well decorated, but carpet was shabby and should be replaced.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The whole room had a lean, so everything tilted to the right. The window rattled all night so hubby had to put tissues in between sill and window to stop rattling. Staff were friendly enough. Didn’t try the breakfast as it started at 8 and was booked on early tours both mornings. Had I had known this I wouldnt have booked this room. I’ve never heard of breakfast starting at 8am anywhere, ever! If you want a basic room with a tiny shower that you cannot move in and miss out on breakfast supplied by hotel at a ridiculous time go ahead and book this hotel. I would not book this hotel again.

The room was spotless but unfortunately it was very warm in there and the window wouldn’t stay open . There is a fan provided which I would imagine in the summer you would definitely need. We also found that you could hear all the noise outside and it didn’t quieten down till around 3am but maybe this was because it was freshers week ? We also didn’t like having to use a side entrance outside to get to our room and then again to go back to the pub .

This is above a pub that provides breakfast the next morning. The location of this hotel is great and easy to get to. Can walk the town in the evening easily and safely. The room was very big with a sitting area and big clean bathroom. You can hear lots of noise from the street even 2 floors up. And lots of stairs to go up but would stay again for sure!

This place was fantastic, even though we had a minor issue checking in the girl working the bar was extremely friendly and helpful and everything was sorted out very quickly. When you walk in you walk into this cute and very amazing looking bar the drinks there were very good, they have a kitchen too but I never got the chance to try their food. The room also was amazing had lots of character and was perfect for me and my partner. The bathroom is very clean and the beds are comfortable. It's also in the perfect area super convenient and everything important is within walking distance and you're right around the corner from the Roman baths and right by a little city square that has lots of options for food. This place was perfect and we will be back. I highly recommend.

First of all; This is not a hotel, it's a bar with a couple of very overpriced rooms to let out. There are no hotel staff to help you but bar staff who can't help you and only tell you that you can give a bad review and that they know that the rooms are overpriced. Furthermore there was a very loud fan outside the window, large stains on the carpet, a very uneven and unconfortable bed and a very small basin in the bathroom. The few positive things were the breakfast, the wifi and the location.

We stayed for one night in October. Right in town literally around the corner to the spa and historic roman bath ( two separate venues). A good pub with rooms above. I read the previous reviews and having no problem with access by stairs only to a quiet room booked a night. The problem is that the previous ' quiet room' review was wrong! Buses pass outside the bedroom windows all through the night, as do revellers and early/ late workers. Be forewarned: ear plugs are very much recommended. I would have had an easy night if I hadn't left my fitted ear plugs ( essential travellors equipment in my opinion) at an earlier stay! Very much worth the money otherwise.

It was a really nice walkable distance to a lot of the different parts of Bath - the museum and thermae spa and food options. It was a little cold and noisy though but I knew that ahead of time from other reviews and brought a jacket and ear plugs. The breakfast was a nice touch to the stay. I would definitely return in the future.

Couldn't be happier with our stay at the Black Fox. Breakfast was delicious and fast, the room was big, comfortable and clean, great value for money and a brilliant selection of beers and gins at the bar A*

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Black Fox. Boutique pub on ground floor, and rooms above. Our room was on the second floor which was a bit challenging with luggage, but all good. Room was a decent size with a lovely ensuite bathroom. Bit of noise off the street. Good wifi throughout the premises. Included breakfast was a choice of 6 options, our full English was excellent. Pub is close to everything- Bath city is fairly compact. Long stay parking is about 200m walk and costs 17 pounds per 24 hours, so not cheap. Overall, a great place to base yourself for a visit to Bath.

The Black Fox was one of my favorites. Spacious room, clean, good mattress and pillows, big bathroom, and great location right next to the Roman Baths. Short walk to the train station. Good breakfast included. Had fish and chips one night and it was very good as well.

The smell of cooking oil/grease from the restaurant below was not pleasant. Check in and parking not convenient. Great location to the baths and delicious breakfast.

The bath tub was amazing, I took the longest bath ever. Bed was comfortable and they had water/tea/coffee and a kettle. Room was larger then I expected. There were real plants in the bathroom and they put little touches around the room to make it unique. I enjoyed my stay. It can be a bit noisy till 1 am from people down on the street however that is not the hotels fault. Our included breakfast was fantastic. I got the yogurt with granola and fruit with morning tea., my MIL got the bacon sandwich and coffee. We both enjoyed our breakfast. Loved the atmosphere and vibe of the place. Couldnt ask for a better location if you want to see the Roman baths ect. You do have to climb stairs to get to your room so be advised it is not handicap accessible. Overall I would definitely stay here again! Dinner at the pub was only ok we got the fish and Chips.
