Leonardo Hotel Swindon

8/10 Good

"Clean good facilities, excellent staff"

Stanton House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed for one night and, overall, had a pleasant experience. The building was lovely, the staff were very helpful and went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable, the food was good, and there was plenty of parking available. Unfortunately, the fire alarm went off twice during our stay, and we were not informed of the reason, which was a little concerning. Also, the shower was cold in the morning, which was disappointing. Despite these issues, the lovely building, excellent staff, and good food were definite positives. With a few improvements, it could be an even better experience."

The Crown Inn

8/10 Good

"Just what i am looking for for a comfortable stay and great food"

The White Hart

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious & clean. Large double bed. Reasonable TV. Despite main roads being nearby noise was negligible. Breakfast is ordered the night before but not a problem & ingredients were good & cooked well. Evening meals were fine & reasonably priced. Staff were friendly. Bus service (S6 & 23) will take you into central Swindon."

Holiday Inn Swindon by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and all facilities working."

The Old Crown Coaching Inn

8/10 Good

"Really nice hotel/pub and wine bar. Parking round the back was good to have , room clean and tidy just had a front room and a bit noisy with bus stop right outside but no main issue. Food in bar ok too, I’ll definitely stay again as and when working in this area"

The Highworth Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice people and a nice convenient place to stay. The building is outdated but that gives a bit of charm to the whole stay."
