    great view

    Great choice for solo travelers

    Had a room on the eighth floor, the view of the nighttime sky was just stunning! ! The staff helped me out, offered breakfast early since I had a race in the morning, that was very generous of them, it made my stay feel special.

    Wasn't exactly a budget find but still acceptable.

    attentive staff
    clean room
    overcooked breakfast
    limited variety
    parking confusion

    Attentive staff made a notable impression, with Jamie providing exceptional assistance during my stay. The spacious, spotlessly clean Standard Double Room offered comfort, enhanced by the fan provided amidst a heatwave. Conveniently located near the courthouse, parking was affordable with validation. the cooked breakfast was somewhat overcooked and the selection could use more variety. it encapsulates a fresh, modern vibe.

    poor soundproofing

    I had a fantastic stay with a very comfy bed and an awesome breakfast spread! The room was spotless, but it would’ve been nice to have more soundproofing. I'd definitely return!

    wine surprise
    comfy room
    nice breakfast
    weak shower

    Awesome anniversary surprise!

    We had such a lovely stay! It was our anniversary, and we found wine waiting for us in the room—what a nice touch! The room was comfy, and the breakfast was pretty good too. Only bummer was the shower pressure could be better. But the cute village nearby made up for it!

    great location
    friendly staff
    poor shower
    thin pillows

    the hotel was in a fab location, close to everything we needed. room was really clean and comfy, and the staff were super friendly and helped us out when we had a complaint. we slept well even with the fire alarm at night. nice to have free tea and coffee but could be better quality. loved the breakfast options they had, lots of variety.

    the shower pressure was awful and the pillows were too thin. also, parking was a bit dodgy, had to pay extra to park in a multi-storey.

    limited mobility

    I truly appreciated the warm atmosphere and the helpful staff, who ensured my stay was comfortable and safe. The public areas were inviting, making it easy to navigate for someone with limited mobility like myself.

    More accessible shower options would be beneficial.

    great central base to explore swindon’s parks and attractions

    I had a very comfortable stay with helpful staff, and the hotel is just a short stroll from beautiful parks like Queens Park and the picturesque Town Gardens where I enjoyed relaxing walks in the fragrant gardens, which were a perfect break from city life. This place also has easy access to landmarks like The Parade and St Margaret's Church, making my exploration effortless and enjoyable.

    surprise food
    takeaway breakfast

    It was just a great fit for a break on a long journey in Swindon with a good price-value balance. The hot sausage roll during breakfast in a takeaway bag was a pleasant surprise. Make sure to check if the heating works before settling in.
