Thermae Bath Spa Anmeldelser 

The one star I am giving is already way too much may I add!

It was not at all a pleasant spa or resort to go to! It is a waste of my money! And it seems that spa Thermae Bath is all about…. The line of people whom they let in during a slot is never ending. You end up being in every (if available) room be it the rooftop our a sauna room full of other people trying to find a spot! You can not possibly enjoy going to this spa particularly! It was and is a scam to get as many tourists to pay and stay en get out in two hours! You shall not find any relaxtion here. That is the only guarantee that they can give. It is by far way over hyped by influencers!!! You are just being scammed for your money! As a tourist I dearly recommend do not waste your money on this resort! You better make a reservation at a other spa. Where you actually get relaxation and rest! For the Thermae bath spa is clearly NOT worth it!!!

The rooftop pool is beautiful, but the rest... erm. We went on a rainy Thursday afternoon. It wasn't heaving the way some people describe, but it was pretty heavily trafficked. I was really looking forward to a nice sauna, but this infrared thing they have is a ridiculous substitute for the real thing - was sort of tepid unless you sat right in front of a light, whereupon your back was scorched and your front was still cold. (Also, no guidance given at all on sauna etiquette, so every inch of the sauna benches had wet bum prints on it - ew.) The steam rooms managed to be totally utterly over-steamy (we had to walk with hands in front of us because we couldn't see anything) while still being only lukewarm. And the ice room was again zero-visibility from steam with no signage to indicate what it was (we discovered it was the ice room by actually running into the ice trough and feeling to see what it was) and all the ice was melting. The Minerva Bath is just a big swimming pool (with a walled off bubbly section that wasn't any warmer than the rest) basically like you'd find in the cellar of a chain hotel.
So basically, we paid £40 apiece for a swim in a somewhat crowded but admittedly pretty rooftop swimming pool, plus a sauna, steam rooms and swimming pool we wouldn't have paid a penny for, had we known.
(The very small lift did work when we were there - thankfully, as my companion is disabled and would not have been able to manage the stairs - but very slowly and sometimes the door seemed to jam. We were afraid every time we went in it that it'd break down and we'd be stuck.)

Don’t waste your money, it’s a tourist trap. Overcrowded, noisy and NOT relaxing. Was so looking forward to going and couldn’t wait to leave. Such a disappointment and won’t be back.

Wow, I'm really shocked by how many positive reviews this place has. They've entirely misjudged how many guests should be allowed to book in at certain time slots. Every single area was incredibly packed. The roof top pool is gorgeous, but I spent half the time aimlessly floating in the middle of the pool, waiting for someone to give up their space at the side of the pool. The minerva bath is essentially just a pool. The lazy river didn't work, and the "jacuzzi" is incredibly weak.

The majority of guests have very poor spa ettiquette. Splashing around in the pools, talking loudly, or leaving doors wide open as they come/go from the saunas etc. Staff on reception were nice, but the staff that were visible throughout the facility were uninterested. Towels should be more readily available as people were constantly taking ones that don't belong to them.

Didn't love that flip-flops weren't included, or that showers were only a different floor to many of the facilities. Both lifts were also broken, which meant a bit of a workout going between zones...

Not impressed...!

Hot Sunny day 11 th August ..
Booked months in advance and thought it would be a quiet pleasant experience …
Boy was I wrong ..
The rooftop pool that should cater for about 30 people was crowded to a point of being uncomfortable.
The lifts didn’t work , the floors are distances apart and all stairs ..
I felt the whole event was ruined by over capacity again another adventure let down by profit and greed and not by customer experience satisfaction ..

I've visited before and had a pleasant time despite the crowds and not being able to experience some things like the steam room/sauna as way too many people. Trying to book again to return years later and given up as impossible to book online (surely this should be possible in this day and age!) Read the reviews and looks like it's gone downhill big time so not going to bother. Looks like purely a money making project rather than for people's wellbeing.

Staff very u friendly and unhelpful. Mixed changing rooms filthy - there were bits of bloody tissue in the one I had to use and hair on the floor. You have to pay for huge flip flops to avoid walking on the floor. Facilities are accessible only by walking up and down four floors or taking the cold scruffy lift between areas. One steam room was closed. Everywhere was packed full with little space to live in pools or saunas. Horrible to see people coughing up phlegm in one steam room. The worst spa experience ever, and I spent nearly £500 on the three of us for a special birthday - awful.

Can't even book! Try online but says you can't do the packages online, so I call. I've tried all morning - You wait on the phone then get a message saying no one is available and get cutoff. Thank goodness i didn't book as have now read the reviews! Sounds truly awful and delighted we didn't waste the money

Far too busy everywhere which wasn’t relaxing but stressful. Showers on different floor to changing rooms meant a very cold two flights of stairs with just a towel wrapped around me. Communal areas everywhere not welcome either. Rooftop pool fantastic but again sooo crowded. Would not go again.

Lovely staff greeted us on reception. My husband and self went in the evening 18.30-20.30 not too busy at all. Everywhere was clean. Robes and towels provided. I purchased Slipper mules nice quality for just £2.50 Facilities were amazing from the warm roof top pool to the luxurious I fra red sauna, steam room and the I door pool just Amazing! Can't comment on cafe as enjoying the pool too much to leave. Thank you for the experience would definitely book again if visiting Bath.

The spa was over crowded, to the point were I felt like we turned up to a giant orgy, so many people kissing and just all over each other made it very uncomfortable to see, most of the lockers were out of order, a few of the relaxation rooms were so full we had to queue outside the door to go in,the steam room was so full people were stood up next to each other! One of the rooms was out of order, there was 2 bridal/ hen groups that were so loud, that nothing about this place was relaxing and to top it off… the restaurant where if you buy something you get a “free half hour stay” on your time, yeah that was for reservations only. Absolutely chaotic.
The only good thing about this place was the little machine were you could dry off your swim suit!

Not like on adverts , so crowded. Food in the coffee shop discussing . They giving only one towel, Which one getting wet after first shower. On the end of the spa somebody nicked my bathrobe, just because so many people and of course who can remember where exactly they left them own one. I wouldn’t recommend to go here

An experience for sure.. had a great day as part of a hen do. Customer service not the best but still a good day in a beautiful part of England.

Dreadful, poor Customer Service at all levels, no Customer focus, Management are a bit thick, avoid there are better alternatives

Wonderful facilities, let down by crowds of people/noise.

Better rules/guidance please!!! A member of staff on each floor continually keeping doors shut & silence please!!! Then this would be a magical experience.

A simple silence & coordinated access with reduced numbers would make this a wonderful experience.

Positives: great facilities, once I put my annoyance about the hoards of chatty, noisy people out of my head. Lack of instruction/ignorance meant doors to steam/saunas were left open.

I agree there shouldn’t be phones/cameras. Anyone thinking they should be allowed phones/cameras are clearly amongst the ignorant noisy, born in a barn brigade!

I was having problems making an online booking and when I tried to book my chosen spot for myself and my partner there was only one space available. I booked that and then emailed the Spa to ask if they could fit in second booking. I got a reply within an hour, not bad for late on a Sunday afternoon, asking for my phone number.
I received a call the next morning and made the second booking.
Great service and much appreciated.

It is unfortunate to write that I was very disappointed by your spa.

I was hoping for a nice relaxing time, but alas this was not the case, from overcrowded pools to noisy chatty treatment rooms… It was quite the opposite of relaxing, we booked a 2 hour slot but after an hour we decided to leave. It was not enjoyable… Or worth the money spent.

On top of this, it was not very clean in the pool, bits of dirt and hair stuck on the grates and the customer service was poor.

I, certainly will not be visiting again.

We had a nice time, I see a lot of negative reviews, but our experience was good

We come here every year and this spa is the highlight of our visit. Would like to have given 5 stars but there always seems to be several things not working - this year the ice room, the Georgian steam room and also the lazy river. Disappointing. There always seems to be a lift out of order for the last few years too.
We pre-booked the day before and were not told about the lack of flip flops (which have always previously been included in the price) so had to purchase on the day at extra cost. I think that should have been waived as so many things were broken! They only had size 10 too, so we opted for the slippers instead. I really think footwear should be compulsory due to all the nasties you can pick up with uncovered feet, not sure why this has been changed? Bizarre. But overall we had a good, relaxing couple of hours.
