Bath's Queensberry Is Pleasant, But Lacks Minibars

Where: 4-7 Russel Street, Bath, BA1 2QF

We like the UK Times regular feature where they send a Mystery Guest into a hotel: of course, the Mystery Guest is usually just a staff writer enjoying a weekend of perks, but the logo they use in the write-ups is kinda cool. Recently an MG hit the Queensberry Hotel in tourist-mecca Bath.

In true British style, the MG summed up the Queensberry as "agreeable". As we understand it, that's a pretty positive rating. On the positive side, the Queensberry room picked out for the Mystery Guest was

pleasant, soothing and quiet, with high ceilings, a huge sash window looking on to the terrace, and a big, light-filled white-and-chrome bathroom with decent toiletries.

So far, so good. But it doesn't quite have everything: the flat-screen TVs are small, the bedside reading lights twist too much or burn your fingers, and--the ultimate travesty--there's no minibar. Game over.
