We had a fabulous stay at the Gainsborough. The whole experience from start to finish was perfect, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and the bed was super comfy. We used the spa 3 times during the stay and it has fantastic facilities - my only one point of improvement would be to fix some of the jets in the spa so they’re all working! We stayed during the half marathon weekend and the morning of the marathon they even had gels and protein bars in reception for the runners! Such a nice touch. Perfect weekend in Bath made even better by staying at such a gorgeous hotel!

Most comfortable bed ever

Stayed in a spa room and it was lovely. Best bed ever, very comfortable. Complementary drinks included in the fridge was a nice touch. Breakfast was lovely and the restaurant food generally was excellent although a little bit pricey.

The place is gorgeous, the staff are polite, the rooms are well kept. My only gripes are with the breakfast, and the pillows. With the exchange, I basically paid 60 for undercooked eggs and 2 pieces of bacon. Maybe I’m just foreign and that’s how they do eggs here, but it wasn’t edible. And the pillows are feather and I am a side-sleeper, which makes it very difficult to get comfortable. All of that is forgiven due to the amazing heated floors in the bathroom, stood in there with bare just to feel cozy a few times.
