The hotel is beautiful. The service is delightful. The staff is great. Shout out to Chris the bartender. And it’s the only hotel in Bath with its own spa with waters from the local hot springs. I highly recommend it.

Very comfortable hotel. Really fantastic and friendly service. Couple of issues with my son's room which they dealt with immediately and moved him to another room. But the piece de resistance is the amazing Roman spa which guests can use in the morning and evening for 2 hours. Several different pools of different temperatures plus sauna and steam room. And of course a gym and treatment rooms available all day. Delicious family dinner in the restaurant - really excellent food. Would happily go back.

We loved everything about the Gainsborough, the staff were very helpful, the Spa was brilliant, the room was clean and today, also the maid was very polite and helpful. We were also upgraded to the Gainsborough suite as we mentioned it was our 25th anniversary so this was a plenty surprise, the hotel went above and beyond as they laid on a complementary fridge of drinks, a bottle of wine and a big box of Bath cheeses. Truly wonderful stay - thank you we come again.

Lovely rooms, spa was good altho some of the hot baths were out of use. Breakfast was very expensive, 25£ for continental and 40£ for a cooked breakfast.
