    Lack of toilet brush in bathroom. Breakfast started relatively late (9am), especially for people traveling with young families.

    Breakfast was very good although it would have been nice to have one or two more cooked options to set you up for the day. Very clean bathroom and nice, soft sheets.

    A really enjoyable stay. Given our son lives in a very small flat in Frome, this may very well not be our last stay.

    Difficult to find anywhere to park - we did eventually get a place but then were reluctant to go out in our car because we’d lose it. But I appreciate it’s a problem with Frome in general, not just at Bistro Lotte. Stairs to the room are steep - but I appreciate there’s not much can be done about that.

    Very comfortable room. Big, very comfortable bed. Real coffee in the bedroom. Shower very good. Shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, hand wash and hand sanitiser in the bathroom were all really gorgeous. Lovely, lovely restaurant with fabulous food and a genuine “French” feeling, which was very nice. Very friendly staff.

    Nothing not to like really.. If I was being super picky, I think the room would have benefitted from a couple of prints on the walls to complement the overall look, and maybe a box of tissues would have been nice in the bedroom.

    Very central location, wonderful comfy bed and excellent shower. Nice touch to have fresh milk in the room. The room was above the restaurant but very quiet. Food in the restaurant was excellent so I would recommend eating there. They also have a few parking spots up the road, which was an added bonus.

    WiFi provision was very poor. None of us could connect. The room guide led us to expect this difficulty, but these days it should be better, we thought. Booking.com's room description is inaccurate. We spoke to the owner direct about this.

    Breakfast options were ideal and the quality of both food and drinks was excellent. Our room (family room) was spacious and very comfortable. Beds and bed linen good quality. Bathroom facilities very good. Great shower, toiletries, generous-size towels, instant hot water. The bistro was exceptional.

    The only problem we had was the parking as this is a bit limited.

    We loved Bistro Lotte. The room was spotless the bed lovely and snuggly. The food was fabulous we ate at Bistro Lotte on the first evening and my husband said he had the best steak he has ever eaten.The hotel itself is only a stones throw from the centre of Frome just at the top of St Catherine’s Hill where you walk down into the gorgeous town.

    I have some problems with my back and so the bed was a little soft for me. I'm sure it suits most other people. We stayed for three nights and so just a little bit more space for clothing would have been great.

    Breakfast was very good and the location was excellent for Frome. The walk into the town started with all the most interesting places. People working in lotte's were friendly and helpful and our evening meal was excellent. The separate bar was very relaxing.

    Nothing

    Our first visit to Frome. I saw a write up in Country Life magazine in 2020, and loved what I saw and hoped we would visit. Bistro Lotte Town House was immaculate, the Bistro was beautiful and Lotte and her staff were welcoming and very friendly. I feel like I’ve had a holiday abroad! My husband and I would consider going again. I recommend wholeheartedly, Bistro Lotte and Frome .

    Charming Rooms in a period building. Comfortable beds and delightful bathroom with quality products. Parking was not ideal as we did not realise we had to move our car before 9am the following morning. The food in the restaurant was superb with excellent staff - a most enjoyable evening. Thank you.
