Find Out MoreBath is a city in south-west England famous for the hot Roman baths and it’s exquisite architecture. While there are many accommodation options available, it would still be wise to start your search and book early in order to find the best option for you.
The address of the main conference venue is: The Chancellors’ Building, University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath, BA2 7AY, UK.
Please note that the University of Bath is a campus university and is situated 3.1 km from Bath city centre. There are buses that run between the city and the university regularly.
Get the rooms closest to the action!
DSA have procured a limited number of rooms that are on campus for the price of £72 per night including the famous full English breakfast. Each room is located on campus and so is only a few minutes’ walk to the conference venue. The rooms are small double rooms for single occupancy and are en-suite. This option is perfect for those who don’t want to walk far or take transport or even need to return to their rooms throughout the day. Stay with us on campus and you’ll be close to the Wednesday drinks reception and the party on Thursday night. You’ll also be able to socialise informally at the Lime Tree bar and café nearby on campus.
Get in quick – these well-located rooms are strictly limited.
You can book this as part of your registration, look out for that option when you register via the DSA2025 website.
A number of hotels in Bath are in easy reach of the conference venue either by foot or public transport.
As the conference is taking place in Bath during summer we were unfortunately unable to secure any discounts.
The list provided below includes some suggestions, especially if you find browsing for accommodation online overwhelming, but does not come through personal recommendations or experience.
We recommend using different online booking portals and search engines to find the most suitable accommodation for you.
Booking instructions are provided with each entry as are other basic terms.
