Our stay at The Gainsborough Hotel was a delightful escape, especially with its exceptional spa and luxurious amenities. The rooms were not only clean but also provided a comfortable and elegant environment to unwind. The dining experience at Dan Moon's restaurant was phenomenal, although a bit pricey. A minor downside was the inconsistency in service during the spa treatments, which affected an otherwise perfect getaway.

I had high hopes for my stay, given the luxurious spa promises and high price tag, but it turned out to be more of a mixed experience. While I appreciated the clean rooms, the dining was a letdown and the spa access didn't meet my expectations. The central location is a definite advantage, though. Overall, I left feeling a bit disappointed and not quite justified in the cost.

The hotel is ideally located for exploring the sights of Bath, being just steps away from the Roman baths and other attractions. It's convenient and easy to get to from the station.

Dining was disappointing given the expectations set for a five-star establishment; our New Year’s Eve dinner lacked the quality I anticipated, and the wait for afternoon tea was rather excessive.

I had an incredible stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the serene spa and complimentary access to the thermal waters. The rooms were very well kept and comfortable, and the dining experience was delightful, although the breakfast price seemed a bit on the higher side. The service was a bit mixed, as some staff members were attentive while others seemed rushed during busy times. Overall, it was a great experience, but the dining could improve on speed and value.

This hotel is a wonderful place for a luxurious stay in the heart of Bath. The rooms are beautifully designed and incredibly comfortable, making relaxation easy after a day of exploring. The spa facilities are divine, and I particularly enjoyed the lavish treatments available. However, the dining prices are on the higher side, and the bar area can get quite warm and crowded, detracting from the enjoyment at times.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel, which is situated perfectly for exploring all that Bath has to offer. The spa facilities were exceptional, offering a relaxing experience with the thermal waters that truly rejuvenated me. Our room was beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable, although I wished it was a bit more spacious for the price. Unfortunately, the breakfast service was notably slow, which was a downside during our visit.
