Avoid apartment 3

"Overall the service was pleasant- quick and easy check in, helpful staff. The apartment in itself wasn’t too great. It was constantly dark- lighting was extremely limited. Despite adjusting the heating multiple times it still didn’t work. I’d also avoid any apartments on ground / lower floors, as ..."…"

"Pleasantly surprised with this hotel. Wasn't expecting much because it was a budget offering but the room was well equipped (e.g. you could screencast from mobile device to the TV). Included breakfast was welcome too; I just expected a basic continental buffet but there was hot food included too. ..."…"

    4 / 5
    I chose SW because I didn’t want to stay in a big generic hotel and I was so pleased with my decision! Sara was friendly and helpful. She gave me a bigger room than the one I had booked because it was available. The room was clean comfortable and well appointed. The b&b is on a quiet street. Sara helped me to negotiate getting a bus into town for dinner. After a lovely cooked breakfast in the morning, I would definitely choose SW if I come back to swindon in the future. …

    4 / 5
    Spotless modern flat situated in a somewhat clinical building. Comfy beds, plenty of towels. Full soap and shower gel provided, and kitchen cupboards are well equipped. Large lounge/kitchen diner with plenty seating and a small TV. Communication was a little ott. I think for our two night stay there were around 4 emails and then calls. We were somewhat confused by the heating usage policy, seemed to say that if they deemed we’d used more than £3 a day we’d be charged on a monthly breakdown policy, but unsure how a guest can know whether this is true without seeing readings/bills?…
