It's a beautiful hotel, and all the staff are attentive, professional and friendly. The room we had was gorgeous, although the mattresses weren't as comfortable as I would expect...and the WiFi didn't seem to stretch as far as our room. If you stood just by the door you could just about use it! Food and drinks all delicious, and beautifully served...but extraordinarily expensive. In fairness and in hindsight, we were a bit naive and should have expected high prices at a high-end hotel like that. But I also expected firm, comfortable beds and decent WiFi!! Overall, a lovely place to stay...if you've got big money to spend!

Birthday staycation

Hotel grounds – Absolutely beautiful, picturesque, and so calm and therapeutic. The gardens and surroundings really made us feel relaxed. Reception – Professional but quite robotic. There was no warmth or welcoming feeling; it just felt like a task being done. Sycamore Room – The views were stunning; we could see the lovely Bath landscape and hot air balloons from our suite, which was amazing. The Nespresso coffee station was delicious and well stocked, and we appreciated having a fan in the cupboard to use. However, the bathroom was extremely disappointing. The washpot had poop left under it from a previous guest, so we didn’t use it at all. The toilet seat behind had blood-like marks, so we had to raise it to use it, and the bath was dirty too. The whole bathroom furniture feels old, worn out, and unclean, which really doesn’t match how beautiful the actual room was. Also, for a room booked for three people, there should have been at least two bottles of still water provided. Spa – I wanted to book a massage treatment on the day we checked in, but they were fully booked. My advice is to book your spa treatments ahead of your stay to avoid disappointment. Breakfast – Lovely choices for hot food . We went at 7am, and no queue with full attention from the waiters. Checkout – Quick and easy, but again very robotic with no warmth or thank you. It was a nice touch that they left a handwritten birthday card and chocolate

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointed. The spa was terrible. Dirty facilities, faulty steam rooms, cold pool and drinks all around outside hot tub. Room was dirty, bed uncomfortable and flies in room. Ordered room service- charged £10 extra to wait 40 mins for raw food. Had to return and wait another 40 mins. No refund. Nice from outside and location nice but this is definately not a 5 star. I stayed alone to relax for my son’s graduation and my trip was terrible compared to the usual 4 star hotels in the area. Definately not worth the spa. Outdoor thalassopy pool was warm but dirty unfortunately.

Lovely hotel in a fabulous location. We were very fortunate to receive an upgrade to one of the Imperial Suites. A big shout out also to Samuel who ran the garden bar; very welcoming and attentive.

Very disappointing

Suite was nice but one small bottle of water between two and no water in the coffee machine is poor. Service in the restaurant was poor. No genuine welcome just a help whilst aggressively tapping the screen with a pen. Clearly dealing with other complaints whilst not attending to other customers. Really disappointing stay in what looks a great hotel from the pictures. The lady at checkout did give us a card to send our thoughts to a manager.

pleasant setting and superbly located

We enjoyed our stay, although we spent most of our time in the town centre. The hotel is very conveniently siuated, comfortable and has a nice luxury feel. There are some comments that it could use a refurb but we did not feel that was the case for our room, only in the lobby toilets did I notice some wear and tear. I would return to this hotel, should I be staying in Bath again but will make more use of the facilities next time. The staff are pleasant and helpful but the only negative was one of our drinks orders taken in the garden was forgotten and took 30 mins to arrive but this is not a reason to overshadow our stay and the waiter was very apologetic.

Nice hotel, noisy room.

Nice hotel, looking a bit tired especially in the bedrooms. We had a connecting door. Unfortunately this was very poorly insulated and we could hear the ladies in the next door room having a blazing argument at 8 am. The plug hole in the bath tub wasn’t draining properly so filled with water about 4 inches during a shower. We had a nice dinner in their dining room, and the cocktails made in the bar were excellent.
