Lovely hotel, nice rooms, great service and breakfast, really convenient for shops. It's a shame the facilities are limited to over 16s, whilst advertising family friendly with a swimming pool. Apparently it's not a swimming pool and is a spa pool available for over 16s only. Recommend hotel for adults exploring Bath, but not a family hotel.

Great upscale spot, good value for the $$$, and the only hotel in town with its own spa fed by the famous hot spring mineral waters of Bath. A must if you’re going for the healthy waters.

Beautiful Spa Hotel, Centrally Located in Bath

The Gainsborough has a beautiful spa area and is very centrally and conveniently located in downtown Bath. The hotel stocks all rooms with soft drinks and water in the mini fridge (a nice touch), and the breakfast offerings are excellent, including both a continental buffet with a cooked to order option. The bar area of the hotel is small and was not well stocked during our visit. Also, some of the staff seemed new and unfamiliar (although polite) with the property, but the concierge as well as the front desk manager, Howard, were wonderful, and made what was a good stay into a great stay. The concierge's restaurant and tour recommendations were wonderful, and the front desk manager assisted our party of four with an issue we encountered with a rude and arrogant guest. The professionalism he demonstrated in handling the situation was commendable. We will be back.

Great location and spa

Great central Bath location and one of the best hotel spas I've visited in the UK. Not many are fed by hot spring water! If you're not planning on using the spa it's probably not worth the price, but I would certainly come here again for a special occasion.
