Lovely pool and fitness amenities, gym was well appointed but could be bigger. The rooms were glorious and comfy, though the bathrooms aren’t well thought out. The dining room was pretty woeful, not well maintained (grubby in places), and though the staff were mostly helpful and obliging, service leaves much to be desired and the food was ordinary at best, quality questionable and option were meagre.

We stayed many years back,when the hotel was owned by Rocco Forte(my husband had a nice chat with Adam Faith ,the actor and 1960’s pop star,a couple of times during our stay back then).There is sadly no comparison to back in the day. The Hotel desperately needs a complete overhaul of all the bedrooms and bathrooms,the sinks and baths have badly chipped enamel, the window frames are rotten.Our bed was so badly made,it looked slept in,and we actually ended up asking for a different room,as having noticed urine from a previous occupation around the floor of the toilet pan . Also no phone to speak to reception,so my husband had to keep going down to the desk. It is actually very sad to see this beautiful building,set in gorgeous grounds,so run down. Hall and reception area is tip top ,belying the upstairs bedrooms .Breakfast was very good,and staff were lovely,on the positive side. What a shame,is all i can say,for this wonderful building,set in the gorgeous city of Bath .

The spa was needs a complete revamp The steam room had tiles missing on the seating area , the swimming pool areas were tired and were not cleaned properly The restaurant for breakfast : the tables were not cleared after each course and the dirty plates just piled up on the table When we entered the bedroom there was an empty beer glass under the bedside cabinet it was still there when we checked out The stay was ok but in my opinion fell well short of a 5 star hotel

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointing for a hotel at this price point We paid almost £400 for one night in a Deluxe Garden View room. At that price, I don't think it is unreasonable to expect the facilities advertised with the room to actually work. The air conditioning did not work and the room was extremely hot. We reported it on the evening we arrived but were told there were no other rooms available, so we had little choice but to spend the night in an uncomfortably hot room. What made the situation considerably worse was the way it was handled the following morning. When I raised it at reception, I was initially told that the hotel did not advertise air conditioning and that they had asked for references to air conditioning to be removed because they could not guarantee it. I then showed the receptionist the Hotels.com listing on my phone, which clearly stated that the room had air conditioning. At that point she took a photograph of the listing and acknowledged that they had apparently been trying to get references to air conditioning removed. That was particularly frustrating. If the hotel knows it cannot reliably provide air conditioning, rooms should not be sold on the basis that air conditioning is one of the facilities.

Beautiful location. One of most expensive hotels and lovely se ting and hotel plus gardens. Let down somewhat by outsourcing some services and understaffing. Some tired fixtures and fittings. Parking in particular is badly served. Why charge for parking? And why for guest to then register with outside agency to pay? Crazy.

Lovely staff, great rooms, pool was lovely but busy. The biggest single let down was breakfast. It was OK nothing special but charging £4 for a speciality coffee and then £6 to upgrade your breakfast for a come of extra bits was just cheap and penny pinching. I typically spend 100+ nights a year in hotels from 3* to 5* and the breakfast thing stuck out out bad.

The room was a little dated, but very comfortable and lots of space, aircon was lovely in the warm weather and mini fridge was handy. Spa was nice, although pool was very busy not great for lane swimming. Variety of saunas and steam rooms was good and the outdoor area was really nice although busy. Only had a quick lunch, service was fairly slow having to find staff a few times before we were given menus or had orde taken. Sandwiches were very good, although expensive for what they were, we chose to go I to bath for meals during the rest of our stay. Overall a really nice hotel, the people on the desk were very helpful and friendly, helped us out a few times when in need.

I was left somewhat frustrated to pay £16 per head for breakfast for 3 people - total £48. I ordered the larger cooked breakfast and was then asked to pay an extra £6. The bigger breakfast had an egg and a pice of black pudding. This has left a negative feeling of what was an otherwise excellent stay at the hotel.

Absolutely fantastic stay. The staff were so helpful and friendly and really attentive. The rooms were lovely, clean and a great size. The spa facilities, although in slight need of a refresh (as in a few tiles were missing), were an absolute highlight and actually larger than we were expecting. The hotel was also in a great location about 10-15 minute walk into town. Would definitely recommend the hotel and would love to stay again.
