Loved everything about it, BUT, why was there no place to put all our folded clothes???? A hanging closet with hangers did not work at all for my friend & I. We stayed in a gorgeous room & spent all our time in a room with luggage spewing all our clothes, looking on our knees on the floor in the stacks of clothes. Why is there no place to put your clothes?? Sweaters, socks, underwear, T-shirts Bathing suits, etc.. A huge mess our entire stay. This makes NO sense. We were NOT happy!!!!

Memorable Hotel
Set in the very centre of Bath, this hotel is ideally situated. It was a very late booking for me and I was initially drawn in by the available parking, but because I didn't receive the welcome email as I was already on my way, I missed pre-booking and never discovered what this was, having to park in a nearby underground park for the two days I stayed (£36). The hotel accessibility is very easy if you're NOT driving, but difficult if you want to unload outside (Road works when I was there) although the walk from the underground car park to the hotel was very easy with a wheeled case. Once in the hotel, everything is superb. Very polite & friendly staff who remembered my name (Something I could never do!), the rooms are spacious, bed large and comfortable, there is a Pod coffee machine, gown and slippers available. My room faced a quiet street, got the sun and was lovely. Let's be honest though, the main draw of this hotel is the fact there is a Roman Bath and Spa underneath. Guests get to use this free of charge for two hours in the morning and evening and you get full access if you have a spa treatment. Even during a free visit, it is never particularly busy, and the warm pools and saunas are a unique joy that are worth the extra you may have to pay over other hotels. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Gainsborough and don't think you can go wrong with this hotel if you're staying in Bath. Recommended.
