"Breakfast was a very basic continental but it suited my needs and was fresh and delicious.
Staff where very friendly and helpful.
Room was like a little chalet, very neat and the bed was very comfortable.
Loved the sound of the river flowing to the side of room it helped send me to sleep.
Will definatly stay here again when I travel to fetch my son back to University and when i come to visit him here."
"We stayed at this hotel twice during our trip because it had been recommended by a Bristol local. When we later described our first room to them, they were horrified and apologized for suggesting it.
Our first stay started with what I can only describe as the hotel's version of a welcome drink: a full beer left behind by the previous guest. Not an empty bottle hidden somewhere—a full beer sitting in the room when we arrived.
The window sill was filthy, the view consisted of rooftop air-conditioning units and a piss bottle, and one of the hotel's two elevators was out of service. The remaining elevator was frequently occupied by housekeeping staff moving large trolleys between floors, making waits even longer.
We reported the issues to the front desk and later through Expedia. Based on the condition of the room, we asked to cancel a second stay scheduled a few days later. The hotel refused despite receiving details of the complaint and photographic evidence.
To their credit, they moved us to a larger preferred room for the second stay. It was cleaner, but still tired and worn, with stained carpets and obvious signs of deferred maintenance.
Hotels make mistakes. What disappointed us was the response. The hotel acknowledged the complaint, documented the evidence, and still offered no refund, credit, or goodwill gesture.
Bristol is a fantastic city with no shortage of places to stay. If we return, we’ll be trying one of the others."
"Fantastic stay, friendly and helpful staff, lovely hotel atmosphere and decor, spacious room and great breakfast, plus only a short walk from the station."
"The Gainsborough is a fantastic hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's location is perfect for the Roman Baths, Abbey and all the other sights.
Parking is in a small private car park next to the college so make sure you drop off your luggage at the hotel and speak to concierge who will help you with parking.
Check In was simple and we were greeted by friendly staff. Every member of staff we came across including the cleaners were super friendly.
Our room was spotless and a good size. I booked a deluxe twin and I will miss that bed. It was super comfy and we had a great nights sleep. Due to in room telephone being down, the minibar was complimentary which was great. Soft drinks and water which for us was perfect. The bathroom was clean and tidy.
There are plenty of facilities on site which unfortunately I didn't have time to make use of so that's my reason for planning another stay at this wonderful hotel in the not too distant future. I'd highly recommend anyone thinking of visiting bath to stay at this hotel, you won't be disappointed."
"Great location, however the idea of being awoken earlier than anticipated by faulty air conditioning. This triggered the in room gas leak detection alarm, which the on site staff responded to quickly by turning the air conditioning unit off. Silenced the alarm, but turned a/c off, and we were the up w hours earlier than anticipated for early departure, which was the reason for staying close by.
Appreciate these things happen and grateful for alarm, however presume ac had not been serviced."
