It was an overnight stay as we were traveling home. So did not take advantage of gym, pool and restaurant. So cannot give a total review. However, we found the room was adequate but the bathroom could do with an upgrade.

Terrible experience. The sheets and towels were not very clean. The breakfast was disappointing, and the service was equally poor. I tried to cancel the breakfast, but they wouldn’t allow it. The two chairs in the room were filthy, looking as though they had been soiled. The sauna was out of order, and the alternative was overcrowded, with nine people crammed together, leaving no space to breathe.

BEWARE FAMILES WITH KIDS! First and foremost this place needs an upgrade in every inch of the facilities. Once you enter the building you can smell nice refreshing scent but that’s all. We booked 2 rooms for our stay but had to cut it short due to non profession ROOMS; Rooms have portable oil heaters, sink is cracked and faucets are broken. Windows are wooden and old, needs to be changed, cold breezes through. There is mold which is extremely dangerous for health yet they argue about the kids going into heated pool. Restaurant: Chairs in the restaurant are almost no sponge left. Breakfast was very poor and no taste. Pool and Spa Area; If your children are 16 and under they cannot go to a heated pool! It’s company policy, they are claiming it’s not healthy for them and they might get into very very serious trouble! How so? We’ve been going to winter hotels for years and my kids were able to go into heated pools all the time. This hotel is the only one claiming it’s dangerous for kids under 16. Just 40 minutes away from this hotel there is a beautiful hotel called De Cere Tortworth Court a few ago my kids were able to go into the heated pool and jakuzi there. Kids pool hours are 3 pm to 6 pm and 8 am to 11 Salt room smells like piss, the spa area is dirty and unclean. So to sum it up, the management at the Bath Spa Hotel tries to cover up their lack of management with unreasonable things. I won’t come back here and not recommending to anyone. Total disappointment.

Bathroom wooden panels shabby

Bathroom shabby, sink had big splintered crack,hole in enamel which had clearly been there a long time. Wooden panels in bathroom & door plinth to bathroom very shabby. Bedroom itself was great. Bathroom let it down. Lovely Elemis products in bathroom, bed comfy. Breakfast was ok. Coffee was weak (basically hot coloured water) & waited 10 mins for it. Hot cooked breakfast took 20 mins to arrive. Croissant was stale (it made a sound on the plate when tapping it!). The bread my poached eggs were served on tasted stale. Staff were excellent, very professional, hotel was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations. Lovely hot outdoor pool, steam sauna wasn’t working, dry sauna was great, ice room was great, indoor pool was quite cold.

Great break

Beautiful hotel and great service. We stayed for one night whilst visiting the Bath Christmas Market which was in walking distance. We ate in the restaurant and had the Christmas menu. The starters were good but the main course was a little basic, the desert was amazing and we ate everything and left full. Its not cheap, but it was a nice treat to ourselves. The Spa facilities are good, although one of the saunas was out of order but they do have 2. We had a really nice suite in the Imperial Apartments. A really nice break and would recommend to everyone
