Staff provided us with a lovely card and complimentary wine towards our 50th birthday. Made our stay very special, room was spotless and very comfortable, had a wonderful relaxing stay.
Amazing room and amenities! Guest can use the spa during certain hours and it was super nice and not too crowded. Beds were so comfortable.
Only negative was the room was super hard to find and had to go up and down a lot of stairs to get to it.

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.
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.
This hotel is a guilty pleasure when I come home to visit my family - love this hotel.
I'm not sure why but the litter in the streets of bath seemed out of control but this nothing to do woth the hotel. Looking forward to my next stay here!
This is a wonderful hotel with great service, really comfortable rooms - and the fact that you can access the thermal baths is the icing on the cake! Just a few minutes from the station and the main shopping and tourist areas, the hotel is really well situated yet feels like an oasis of calm. The one minor downside was that the restaurant wasn't open on a Monday, but there were plenty of dinner options nearby. It is one of our favourite places to stay in Bath and we would highly recommend it.
Great hotel in the very middle of Bath. Our room was lovely & spacious & very clean. We especially loved using the spa first thing in the morning…very relaxing.
