The Gainsborough Bath Spa

The Gainsborough Bath Spa

8/10 Good
"The overall appearance and experience within the hotel was excellent. The staff were good and helpful even if the barman made for awkward company. Sadly the spa facilities were a bit hit and miss with the sauna not really being up to temperature and the steam room being intermittent with its operation. This would’ve been okay if guests had unlimited spa hours and we could’ve worked around. But with only two 2 hour slots in the day within which to use the spa and for those two hour slots to be intermittent because of the immunity time it was slightly disappointing but a good stay nonetheless."

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and had a very comfortable bed. The shower was powerful. Good soundproofing, couldn't hear anything from the rooms. Disappointed with the breakfast, we had the continental as on an early flight, which would have been fine if there was anything, coffee machine wasn't working, hardly any pastries. We still had to get breakfast and coffee at the airport which after spending £186 on the hotel was quite frustrating. The main door wasn't working and very heavy to open and one of the lifts was broken so a long wait for the remaining one. The highlight which saved the stay is how close the hotel is to the airport."

"Staff were very friendly and informative, bed was comfortable, nice to have a bath and the shower was good with high pressure and good temp control. Few critisms is room was a little dusty and could have done with a new lick of paint, and the fan was a little noisy (probably could do with AC in the future considering the rising temp in the UK) but overall I was happy with the service I got for the money, noon check out was a god send."
