Cheap hotels & rooms in Bath

Bath is a UNESCO-listed Georgian city in Somerset, famous for its Roman Baths, honey-coloured terraces such as the Royal Crescent, Bath Abbey and Jane Austen connections. It is small and popular for weekends, so weekday stays and guesthouses a little outside the centre are the best route to cheap rooms.
