This is our Best Value pick in Bath, and it suits people who want to walk everywhere. First-time visitors, couples on a city break and rail travellers will get the most from it, since guests mention it is near the train station. Pet owners may also take note, as the property is tagged as pet-friendly, though the terms are not confirmed.
It is less suited to drivers. Parking costs come up often in reviews. Travellers on a tight budget may also find it pricey for what it is, which is why our Budget pick exists.
Location and getting around
The address is 2-8 South Parade, in Bath City Centre. The location score is 9.7 out of 10, and the numbers back it up. Bath Abbey is about 0.2 km away, roughly 3 minutes on foot. Pulteney Bridge is about 0.3 km, around 4 minutes. Guests also mention the train station, shops and local attractions as close by.
One listed sight is not close: the Kennet and Avon Canal point in our data is about 3.8 km away, around 48 minutes walking. That is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi if it is on your list. All times are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
The score is 8.7 out of 10 from 3,311 reviews, joint 4th of 10 eligible properties in the provider sample. With that many reviews, the score is a reliable signal.
Location is the top compliment, followed by staff, described as friendly and professional with a warm welcome and helpful service. The main criticism is value for money: high room and parking costs are frequently noted, though some guests find the quality worthwhile. That split is worth taking seriously before you book.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible hotels in Bath. The Best Value slot balances the guest score, the number of reviews and the reference price, so it is not necessarily the cheapest option. Hotel Indigo combines a four-star rating, a strong score from more than 3,000 reviews and one of the best locations in the sample, at a price near the city median.
Before you book
If you are driving, ask about parking cost before booking, as it is a common complaint. Confirm whether breakfast is included and what the cancellation terms are. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed. If you are bringing a pet, check the pet policy and any fee directly with the hotel.
