Bath hotels near Recreation Ground

Pros: Everything! The staff, location, amenities! we couldn’t fault it. I traveled with my mum and it was perfect

Cons: N/A

Pros: The staff were amazing, helpful, friendly. Spa facilities were out of body experience. Just truly amazing, this was my second stay at the Gainsborough & it just keeps getting more exceptional!!!

Cons: That's a silly question lol

Pros: The room was beautiful, breakfast was delicious and the service attentive.

Cons: It would be good to use the spa for longer hours if you are staying in the hotel.

Pros: Location and ambiens

Cons: Bath tub was not that clean Bed not supercomfortable

Pros: The location is very good and the staff are very polite and well mannered, clearly well trained and professional. Clearly, some of the guests they get are "problematic" (I'm sure these guests' own homes are never impeccable) so I salute the staff for their hard work. The radio being switched on was an attention to detail.

Cons: However, there are somes things that staff can't control and that are down to the actual owners who never have to face the guests. Grey/Black/White decor might look stylish in New York (it is a US company that owns the hotel) but terrible in Bath. It is the palette of a hospital, which the building incidentally used to be back in the 1920s. It is quite depressing because non-descript. It needs updating to reflect the warmth of Bath in my opinion - it should reflect the oolitic limestone colour of the buildings in Bath and take something of actual Georgian colour and pattern schemes (not twentieth-century designers' own ideas of "the classic", which does not actually exist anywhere). There was a "funny" smell too around the corridors - I couldn't make out if it was chlorine from the spa or the air freshner used by the cleaners. I found the beds too high again (this is my second time) and did not sleep well most nights. We also found that the air conditioning was turned on blowing out cold air in late October so the room was freezing. The heating didn't seem to work so we switched off the air con and things were fine after that. We found the breakfast slightly overpriced. Having just returned from Paris opposite the Louvre, the breakfast was £20 there in a similar hotel, but in Bath is was £30 for a cooked plate of food, which you could not serve yourself.

Pros: The location was excellent - right in the centre of town.

Cons: The room was disappointingly small and the bathroom cramped . There were no spare towels (only one between the two of us) and no spare pillows. I expected more for a 5 star hotel.

Pros: Fantastic thermal pool and fantastic service!!!!!! There was plenty of drink in mini bar, soda, beer and water. Very soft and clean bed, we enjoyed very much!

Cons: We did not have chance to try the massage as it was fully booked. Massage service is separated from spa. They have different opening time...

Pros: It’s just a great place to be!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: All very good. One annoying thing was having to phone down to request tea tray which took half an hour to come. They should have them in the rooms as other hotels do. The tea (breakfast tea) was awful as was the tea served at breakfast....didn't taste like tea. The grounds are lovely.

Pros: We liked everything about our stay, staff, food, atmosphere and service were 10+ We can’t wait to stay again.

Cons: NOTHING!

Pros: Everything was 100%

Cons: No iron board.

Pros: location is superb.

Cons: The bar was cold. Some of the breakfast choices were outside the breakfast room and we didn't see until we left!

Pros: Welcoming polite and friendly staff. WONDERFUL stay, thank you

Cons: The running machines were poor, that was my only very small criticism

Pros: Terrible rooms given in the basement

Cons: rooms

Pros: The room, the spa, the staff, the food and the surroundings were excellent. We will definitely be going back.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The room was lovely.

Cons: The price of wine and food .Card deposit taken then retaken and told it would be credited within 10 days.

Pros: Excellent Service - they could not do more to make you welcome. Lovely rooms and nice to see a separate bath and shower. Huge confy bed and coffee and tea services. Nothing missing in room or broken etc. Nixe pool, steam room and sauna. Plenty of towels and robes.

Cons: Drinks and the food although excellent were on the pricy side.

Pros: Lovely food. Beds extremely comfortable

Pros: Liked all of it

Cons: The food and drink were expensive. Went out for dinner the second night.

Pros: Lovely hotel. Gorgeous garden bedroom and nice spa facilities. Very courteous and welcoming staff.

Cons: Food and wine overpriced.

Pros: Excellent location and hotel with on site parking and 20 min walk through park into Bath centre. Swimming pool Hotel ambiance and large bedroom Really good service at breakfast with lovely choice and high quality ingredients Hotel gardens

Cons: Kettle couldn't be plugged in near tea table as lead too short to reach so had to put on the floor.

Pros: wonderful stay, very attentive staff and a really lovely room. I will absolutely be back. Really recommend taking advantage fo their spa and pool facilities when you visit.

Cons: There wasn't anything to dislike, the food was good... could have done with a little more variety on their relaxed dining menu but that's only a small point.

Pros: Amazing garden

Cons: The menu a little bit expensive but everything is OK

Pros: Really enjoyable stay in this lovely hotel. Quirky, smart and comfortable rooms. Tasty breakfast and easy access to the the city centre.

Pros: Small boutique hotel with exceptionally friendly staff. Rooms are filled with collectibles. It is a short walk (2 minutes) from The Bridge where the center of town starts- makes for a quiet night away from the night life

Pros: Great location, good food and cocktail bar. Relaxing and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and the overall hotel decor is very nice and welcoming.

Cons: It needs some updating of the building and the cleaners could do a better job with dusting - tv area. Our door had a quite big gap at the bottom although we had a draft excluder in the room.

Pros: Deco is really cool. The restaurant and bar staff were very friendly. Food was good. Location is also good.

Cons: The lady at reception wasn't welcoming and didn't explain anything. Really seemed like she didn't care. For the money we spent I would expect better customer service. Poor first impression. Also saw the staff arguing in the bar.

Pros: A beautiful boutique hotel, so many lovely touches..we wouldn’t know where to begin! But must mention the delightful help yourself snacks/sweets/ice cream in The Coach House and extremely helpful staff. If only we were staying for more than one night...we will definitely return.

Pros: Breakfast was delicious, bed was super comfortable and location was excellent. Staff was also very helpful.

Cons: The Carpet in room 29 could have been cleaner or newer.

Pros: Lovely atmosphere. Nice peeps.

Cons: Not much

Pros: This hotel is a hidden gem! Mr.Mark gave me a lovely room with a cute blue bathtub. The room was spacious, the Bed was comfy. I couldn't help but fall in love with the hotel interiors and the doll-house tea cabins. There was a secret kitchen next to my room, full of candies and salted caramel ice-creams; the experience I had was similar to that of childhood when I used to sneak in the kitchen at night! The afternoon tea was nice. the location is within a walkable distance from the train station, the roman baths and the main river/central garden. Totally recommended; will visit again sure!

Pros: The hotel felt special - well designed throughout. The Pantry was a lovely touch.

Pros: Nice little touches of treats left for us to consume.

Cons: Spa facilities - £20 not well spent, especially as they were not working properly, and no staff available to sort out the problem.

Pros: We particularly liked the location and the facilities which are exceptional.

Cons: The only thing that caused a bit of angst was the charging for car parking - this would not have been a problem if we had clear prior warning that there would be a fee, although to charge for non secure street front parking seems a bit rich - otherwise there really was nothing else not to like about The Bird.

Pros: The location.

Cons: It wasn’t the cleanest place we have stayed in. Could do with some upkeep in the rooms

Cons: Unfortunately there was a major plumbing issue. Flooding our bed omplete downpour from room above we had eventually to be given another room to sort ourselves out before we checked out. The staff were very good but our stay did not end well. Our own bathroom had an issue with bath/ shower taps very stiff and had to get help emptying bath on our first day. Also did not enjoy walking past huge heaps of bed linen and cleaning materials to get to our basement room during our three day stay. Did not give a positive impression. Would have preferred not to have had the over large tv at a strange angle crammed near the bed.

Pros: The hotel was such a wonderful experience for my husband and myself. What made it even more special was the staff, their assistance with our travel plans was so helpful.

Pros: The decoration of the room and the hotel in general is really nice. Modern with a touch or elegance!

Cons: The customer service can be better.

Pros: Great location very comfortable room beautifully decorated and a magnificent breakfast helpful friendly staff

Cons: Concerned about the security of the very large chandelier above our bed see photograph and the fact that the corridor outside our room was being used to store plumbing and bathroom equipment

Pros: Great location, just a short walk from the centre of Bath. The room as very nice and well furnished, it felt very luxurious and it was nice to relax in. Nice toiletries in the bathroom too. Coffee, biscuits and water in the room were also welcome but disappointed that they were not replenished on the second night.

Cons: There was a crack under my door however that let light into the room that I had to block with cushions in order to be able to get off to sleep. It is also in an old building and there is not good sound insulation so you will hear doors slam in the night which I found quite disturbing.

Pros: Breakfast was very good. Nice food - good quality cooked breakfast. Bed and bedding was comfortable. Good location - not right in the centre but a short walk away and not noisy. Has a nice vibe!

Cons: We were travelling around UK by car during September and stayed in total in 26 different hotels. This one was the worst. The room was extremely small, the bathroom was awfully tiny. The receptionists were quite unfriendly. And a funny thing was that they did not let us leave the car for a couple of hours at the parking while we wanted to walk a bit around the city. The worst place we´ve seen!!!!

Pros: Location was excellent, easy parking on site, I would use the Hotel again, evening late bar also good. Breakfast & room very nice.

Cons: Room size was very small, I understand we booked a small double but you could not walk around the bed. We would use the Hotel again but book a larger room.

Pros: Room was clean, comfortable with good facilities, excellent breakfast, staff helpful.

Pros: Clean room, great breakfast, convenient for Bath center, good parking.

Cons: Night porter woke us up at 4.30am getting linen from the cupboard outside our room.

Pros: Good location

Pros: The situation, the staff and the room

Cons: I was disappointed that there was no dinner available at the Hotel. I did not spot that this was the case when I booked.

Pros: Convenience, leave car & walk

Cons: No lift

Pros: Easy to Park and close to the town centre

Pros: Good location, good staff, clean and car parking

Cons: We thought it was a 5 star when we booked. Whist it was quite good the room was relatvely small and the bathroom ditto

Pros: It was close to town centre (only took 5/10 mins to walk) the hotel was easy to find and also was very nice to look at from outside.

Pros: The downstairs flowed very well, was comfortable, and attractive.

Cons: Our room took along time to warm up.

Pros: Hotel is in great location for site seeing and getting around Bath.Hotel room was very nice. Concierge and desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice. Buffet selection was impressive especially with the additional made to order options. The breakfast staff was so wonderful that they even served me when I mixed up the times and arrived late. They were very professional and friendly.

Cons: The walls were thin and I could hear everyone passing by in the hallway, but earplugs solved that issue.

Pros: The position of hotel

Cons: No heating in room ..moved...t.v.not working moved again...no subtitles working on t.v..I'm deaf...bathroom bin left full disgusting

Pros: Unexpected room upgrade . Picture of the roman baths on shower wall was a nice touch. Liked the old fashioned phone and incontrast the coffee machine

Cons: We came as a bed , evening meal and dinner package which was great but still managed to spend extra during the meal . This was explained to us and we expected fo pay extra for drinks . We ended up paying extra for deserts, again this was explained but maybe an all in price would have been less confusing as it was what we were expecting .

Pros: The friendly staff, the location and the shower

Cons: For the money, I thought the room was small, didn’t recognise why it had a 4 star rating, there were marks on the wall, carpet looked tired, no hair dryer, sink had a crack in it, cheap toilet paper, lack of sound proofing, thin walls, small television, marks on the mirror and a bit of mould in the shower. Considering I’d booked a double, I was very disappointed to find the bed was two single mattresses put together, which is never comfortable having a divide in the bed. On the whole I was a bit disappointed with the hotel, as it was meant to be a real special treat for me and my partner as we’re not wealthy people. Staff were wonderful though which was a bit of a saviour

Pros: Perfect location, staff friendly and offered free upgrade as birthday treat! Clean and tidy. Could not fault

Pros: Friendly hotel staff who were very attentive - both front of house and room cleaning staff. Breakfast had plenty of choice and the evening meal was excellent in the BB restuarant. Again, staff were extremely accommodating.

Cons: Had a leak from bathroom ceiling. Dealt with straight away but will need further repair.
