Frommer's Review
Just a 2-minute walk from the rail station, this hotel offers far more tradition and style than the sometimes better-rated and more recently built Southgate at Southernhay East, or the Thistle on Queen Street . It dates from 1769 and escaped the Nazi Blitz. Just a step away from the cathedral, it offers individually furnished rooms in categories classified as comfortable, desirable, enviable, and fabulous. Five rooms are large enough for families; some rooms have four-poster beds.
A great two-star Michelin chef (Michael Caines) and a top-notch hotelier of south England (Andrew Brownsword) have joined in partnership to run this hotel. A chic little nook, the Moët et Chandon Champagne & Cocktail Bar, has been added.
Facilities:
Restaurant; cafe; 2 bars; gym; spa; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
