Recent Macdonald Bath Spa Review: "Highly recommended for the friendliness of the staff and the top quality accommodation. Our executive room, although on the small side, was on the top floor and had a magnificent view over the whole city. What a pity the restaurant is so expensive, though. We ate in only on our first night. We were disappointed with the limited choice, the VERY slow  service and the exorbitant price of food and wine. Pre-dinner drinks were equally exorbitant and, unsurprisingly, the bar was closed on our second night. We thought A£20 for breakfast, regardless of Continental or full English, was also exorbitant. I enjoyed a facial in the hotel's Spa, but was very disappointed with the management of a massage. The therapist was running 10 minutes late, but no apology was offered, nor was the time made up.A£72 is rather alot to pay for a 50 minute massage, with no additional advice or care.There was an apology for the bad drain smell from the wash basin, but no attempt to move rooms or mask the smell. No hair protection could be found, despite this being standard in every salon I've ever been in - and, indeed, was provided for the earlier facial. The Relaxation Room was littered with used cups and had clearly not been tidied for some time, although someone did do this while I was there. I'm sure these are management issues, quite separate from the hotel itself, but the Spa should certainly address them."
