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.

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

We've stayed a few times at this hotel. On this occasion there was a different vibe. The rooms were clean and tidy. Very comfortable apart from the heating system. The room was cold and the thermostat was uncontrollable. The receptionist explained that the rooms are set with a communal heating system.(around 30 rooms). The bar staff (1 person) on the evening just didnt want to engage. AS if they were reading from a script and just did not want to be there. The wine list was confusing. You can ask for a glass only on some wines that suggest you can only buy a bottle. The Merlot is a good example. When in the restaurant, the waitress suggested get your own drink from the bar as it would be quicker. The restaurant was clearly understaffed. On order we were not informed of dishes that were not available.After a long wait again to order. In all fairness the meal i had was excellent. . Having spoken with the manager on duty the next morning, she was very understanding and apologised on behalf of the management staff. I did explain we were only for the one night, but best to report the cold room. It wouldn't be fair for the next person to check in the same room. So hopefully it was corrected.

Nice hotel about a 15min walk into Bath but uphill on way back. Good room, comfy bed, good breakfast choices.
Slight negative TV was awful and lighting tripped overnight so nothing worked in the morning

There were some unfair comments online made about the hotel which I disagree with. The hotel met our expectations and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was just transitioning into Christmas and the decorations and aroma in reception and the lounges was beautiful. The Spa was reasonably quiet and we found the saunas and outdoor pool to be clean and enjoyable. Our room was also lovely and our only issue was that it took ages to get warm (not hot) water from bath and sink taps. The towel rail was also cold throughout the duration of our two night stay. However, it was probably our fault for not complaining about his

Everything was great until breakfast, which was absolutely awful. Dirty table which the waitress wiped with her hand, had to ask for our hot drinks 3 times, waited 10 minutes for the orange juice to be refilled, brought my partners scrambled egg and smoked salmon but not the toast ( asked again but still no delivery of toast). By the time it did come the egg was stone cold so I asked for the order to be replaced. Basically they stuck it in the microwave and gave it back to her ( still wasn’t very hot). By this time my cooked breakfast was cold.
Staff all looked very stressed and were matching about - very inattentive
I should really have asked for a full refund but as there was only one staff member on reception when we checked out I just left it
I have to say we were very disappointed

Unfortunately this is not a 5 star hotel, and the spa was literally falling to pieces. Mould, tiles falling off, dirty floors etc.

The welcome was warm and friendly, room was clean, luxurious,comfortable bed, good quality bedding.
Stayed 2 nights, breakfast service on 1st morning was disorganised, we had to ask again for tea and coffee and toast never arrived. Much better 2nd morning. Tiles on outside pool area broken and in need of replacing but aware a refurb is imminent.
Spa treatments were fabulous.
On both mornings a fault meant no lights in bathroom - reported 1st morning and quickly fixed. 2nd morning reported prior to breakfast.

The pool was lovely, the bar staff good however the quality of fish and chips with mushy peas was pretty abysmal, managed tpo pull the whole jar of peas out in one go, by the time it had gone back to be basically microwaved to death and stirred I had eaten my way through most of the small fish and chips. House wine at 11.50 a glass was a tad overpriced however it tasted ok. Staff were attentive

The hotel is in a beautiful Georgian building with stunning gardens. Our garden room was large and comfortable with a lovely view. It could do with a lick of paint on the woodwork. The hotel is dog friendly and it’s very convenient to be able to walk the dog in the grounds.

Very Grand hotel in large grounds. Perfect base to explore Bath.
Hotel a bit tired overall.
Staff were pleasant and helpful.
Spa small and functional but also could do with renovation.
Breakfast was acceptable but poorly organised with staff struggling to cope.
Overall a pricey hotel living on past reputation and in need of a good overhaul to justify pricing.

Amazing experience with the hotel and the spa itself. Olde Worlde and the service by all the staff was first class. Always on hand. Hotel was very clean and tidy. Wife found it a little chilly though. The only downside was the cost of the food and drinks! Astronomical! Decided to eat and drink elsewhere after that, but apart from this, it was an excellent experience. Would 100% recommend a stay, apart from the food and drink prices!! (The food was excellent though - fine dining at its best!).
Please could you put sugar in the rooms please.

A domino effect of poor management.
The resort lists 'air conditioning ', but our room's air conditioner was broken. The window would only open 3 inches and if the heavy draperies were closed, no air would circulate.
Reception asked repairman to come to our room.
When we returned, 3 hrs later, air still broken and a fan had been placed in our room. It was still uncomfortably warm.
Reception's only choice was to offer a room with no hot water, and continue to go back and forth. The option to sleep in one room and bathe in the other. Said second room was in a separate bldg, up a lift, down 1 and 1/2 stairs.
Many consequences....facing drizzle, forgetting meds in the other room, both of us having to shower around same time. On second day our keys did not work for the distant room. Twice!
Breakfast was also a big disappointment, but compared to room fiasco, it pales.
Bottom line: if a hotel lists having air conditioning, it should only rent out those rooms with air conditioning.

Nice location and building but once you step inside the overwhelming feeling is the place is badly rundown and in need of a refresh.

Hotel bedrooms lovely. Great beds, linen and towels. Worth staying at this hotel for the rooms and facilities in the room. Breakfast the worst service and food I have had in a hotel of this quality for a long time. The staff in the restaurant rude and not interested.
On the flip side both receptionist very accommodating and helpful and a real asset to the hotel team.

As regulars, we love the setting and architectural splendour here. The spa is good.
The food, however, is disappointing. Breakfast could be improved with quality bread and hotter cooked food. Pastries quite limited and fruit quite basic.
We recommend cooking some bacon to crispy, replacing the bread which is the worst we’ve had in a hotel.
The stunning lilies in the reception need care as pollen was dropping-it stains any material it contacts
