"The Gainsborough Bath Spa Hotel…Spa Girl Heaven
As a spa girl, I had to come to Bath, and this hotel spoke to me. The spa is absolutely adorable, and my massage? 👩🍳💋 Pure perfection. The front desk was delightful, and our room was super cute.
Bath as a town winds down early (around 8 PM), so if I came back, I’d do it like this: spa in the morning, explore in the afternoon, spa again, dinner, then bed. Highly recommend for a blissful, relaxing getaway.

"A nice surprise, extremely clean. Bed was good, A/C in the room was great, good shower. Public parking 100 feet away. Great location (next to roman baths, walking distance from the Royal Crescent). I would definitely recommend it"
"Nice hotel. Helpful staff, however a little busy. Parking was tough and had to street park first night. Breakfast was a bit basic and takes a long time when busy. Would stay again. Nice Indian restaurant next door with 10% discount for hotel guests"
"Lovely hotel, staff friendly & very helpful. Food was great.
Room was clean & had everything we needed. The fans were much appreciated as it was very warm when we stayed."
