Top Swindon Hotel Reviews

Queens Hotel Cheltenham

8/10 Good

"Great welcome and friendly staff at bar / reception and breakfast"

Malmaison Oxford

10/10 Excellent

"This is an iconic hotel. The rooms are clean and modern and the staff are friendly and welcoming. However the star of the show is the ‘prison’ backdrop which manages to make you feel like a hotel guest without feeling like a guest of his majesty."

Gloucester Robinswood Hotel by Sunday

8/10 Good

"We had an enjoyable time staying here. A pit stop on the way to another venue. Room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The sauna and steam room were excellent. The staff very pleasant, helpful and smiley. We didn’t try any food here as we went out. Would stay here again."

Stanton House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room - absolutely beautiful setting not far from Swindon. Lovely little lake and woodland path to walk around just outside the hotel grounds."
