Macdonald Bath Spa Hotel, Exclusive Hire

We come here every year for our anniversary, and we’re going to get married here too. The staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble for them. The rooms are beautiful and clean, and the location is fantastic. It’s rare to find somewhere in Bath with free parking! The use of the spa and pool is a big bonus.

First off the postcode takes you to the wrong side of the building, so if you are going use this W3W///Fast.trades.slip for the correct entrance. The Spa hotel itself is lovely, the reception area and bar restaurants all still retain some of their former Victorian opulence. The rooms (or at least the one we had for the night) was well appointed, with all the usual extras you would expect from a 5* establishment, but the decor is starting to look a little tired. Breakfast (we opted for full English) was very nice indeed but was very busy around 09.30 so.probably best to try and get in there a little earlier. The Spa facilities are very good, with the outdoor plunge pool being a 'must visit' 👌

We booked a one-night spa break as a first night away from our little ones. It was nearly impossible to get a hold of someone before we arrived. We had to call 10 times to finally speak with someone. Spa needs maintenance - tiles missing, looking a little worn, one of the two saunas not working. Spa treatment was lovely. Room a bit dated but has all facilities needed. Breakfast was horrific. The cooked vegan breakfast was cold, they forgot to add the extra bits we needed and the oat flat white was cold and with cow’s milk. Bath is an amazing city to visit, but we will be booking at another hotel next time. Value for money this hotel isn’t.
