Memorable Hotel
Set in the very centre of Bath, this hotel is ideally situated. It was a very late booking for me and I was initially drawn in by the available parking, but because I didn't receive the welcome email as I was already on my way, I missed pre-booking and never discovered what this was, having to park in a nearby underground park for the two days I stayed (£36). The hotel accessibility is very easy if you're NOT driving, but difficult if you want to unload outside (Road works when I was there) although the walk from the underground car park to the hotel was very easy with a wheeled case. Once in the hotel, everything is superb. Very polite & friendly staff who remembered my name (Something I could never do!), the rooms are spacious, bed large and comfortable, there is a Pod coffee machine, gown and slippers available. My room faced a quiet street, got the sun and was lovely. Let's be honest though, the main draw of this hotel is the fact there is a Roman Bath and Spa underneath. Guests get to use this free of charge for two hours in the morning and evening and you get full access if you have a spa treatment. Even during a free visit, it is never particularly busy, and the warm pools and saunas are a unique joy that are worth the extra you may have to pay over other hotels. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Gainsborough and don't think you can go wrong with this hotel if you're staying in Bath. Recommended.

We booked this trip as an anniversary treat. There’s so many hotels to chose from but this one stood out from the others / the photos gave it the extra edge. We arrived 30 minutes early as had arranged the hotels parking facility (not the cheapest but quite conveniently located) sadly we couldn’t check in until 3pm so waited in the reception with the concierge. After a short delay we were given our room at 3:20 not quite ideal as we felt awkward waiting in the reception whilst other delayed guests got taken to the bar for a free refreshment! Although I asked for a high rise floor for a better view sadly our 4th (top) floor room only had half a window view due to high plinths on the exterior. I approached reception to see about moving rooms to level 3 which had full window views. Sadly we were shown a rear room overlooking the close by offices. We decided to just sit it out in our darkened room. I strongly suggest the hotel make this clear on their booking system - top floor rooms are restricted in size and are much darker because of the plinth outside. The manager did call us the following morning bank holiday Monday asking if we wanted to move rooms / she did apologise again. We negotiated a visit to the Spa area at a time which suited us due to the restrictions on hotel guests usage of the Spa. It’s a shame the usage for hotel guests is limited to certain times. Our midday visit only had 2 other people using the areas. Overall we'd go back again - by far the best location.

Exceptional service. This is such a lovely hotel! The staff really make it extra special. Everyone is so kind & happy to help. Nothing is too much trouble. The spa is wonderful. There's something really lovely about bathing in the thermal waters. The bed was incredibly comfortable too. Having complimentary beers, mineral water and sodas as an option in a mini fridge. A great feature. We were gifted a bottle of wine for my husband's birthday, which was a very thoughtful touch & hugely appreciated. We didn't eat at the hotel due to making reservations at recommended restaurants due to being so central. Residents have limited access to the spa during the stay unless booking a treatment. It's busy due to limited hours but never felt crowded. It has a unique atmosphere. It's a lovely stay. Location is great too.

This was a lovely hotel, centrally located, with complimentary spa access four hour per day. What more could I need? (The only not great thing is the shower design which tends to splash water all over the bathroom if you’re not careful.)
