The staff were super polite and helpful ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katrina 18 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Friendly staff. Rooms ok for the price and clean. Decoration a bit tired but ok. ##### Katrina Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew 12 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great visit Staff was helpful. Room was good. & Breakfast was fantastic ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 29 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Perfectly acceptable although its location is not ideal for weekend travellers who are light sleepers as the night life in nearby Wood Street is very lively. We knew the area so we were aware of the risks. A more generous breakfast selection would have been appreciated, such as including yogurt and fruit salad, but the filter coffee was good. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephen 3 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Family gathering Can't praise this place and staff enough. Booked 2 rooms for family. Sammy and Staff were welcoming and friendly, just what we needed after a 4 hour car journey. Rooms were clean and tidy and suited us fine. Booked evening meals for the 4 of us, great choice and Boy was it good, fresh hot and 1st class service. Breakfast was equally as good. Will definitely be booking in again very soon. Big thanks to all the Staff ##### stephen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness Very accommodating staff, lovely breakfast. Room was clean and in good order. Parking available also as well as late entrance if required. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 17 May 2019 #### Noisy Stayed 3 nights and was very disappointed. Had to move the first night because it was too noisy at the front with the traffic and on the second and third nights I had to speak to couple in the room next door several times because they were having a domestic. Seems to be people staying there who are waiting for council accommodation. Will not stay again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent customer service, food and nice location! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 19 Apr 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Food was extremely poor. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 15 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Good Stay Limited parking if you arrive during meal times. Lovely comfy room. Plenty of heating in room. A towel rail in the bathroom is always a nice touch! I think the only let down of my stay was breakfast. It was always very cold in the restaurant. On some days the breakfast buffet was well stocked and well displayed. On other days it was empty - having to ask for cutlery, bread, coffee and so on and made to feel like an inconvenience. The wifi was very intermittent which is never good when you have work to do. I would stay again as it was good value and a good location with some nice restaurants and bars in walking distance. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A characterful old place Good stay in an old building with character. Water temperature was a bit hit and miss but never too cold. Liked it. Will be back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sarma 6 Feb 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Need refund.

I have already moved out and currently in a different hotel. ##### Sarma Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 8 Dec 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bring earplugs, coffee and opt out of breakfast It was difficult to get decent accommodation in Swindon with only a week’s notice but the Goddard Arms didn’t look too bad. First impression - it was busy in the pub downstairs so I had to wait to get checked in. This place did not have an option to pay online (unlike all other places I have stayed at). Room was very minimalistic and was so small that you couldn’t open the door to 90 degrees without hitting the bed. No wardrobe, only three hooks with hangers on the wall. Very squeaky floors, single glazed windows and the shower leaked on the bathroom floor no matter how you position the shower head. While attempted to work at the desk, mere feet from the cars and lorries thundering past on main road below, I left to find the nearest Boots to buy ear plugs. I went for breakfast only on the first of the three mornings I was there as I’d rather not eat than eat that breakfast again. I also tried the filtered coffee, but abandoned it, deciding instead to go back to my room and brew my own (I travel with coffee and filters for desperate tones like these). The staff were friendly and tried their very best and it's much appreciated, but with the essentials being so far below par they were fighting a lost cause. There was always a parking spot for my car which was a rare positive. Room has heating. Bed was ok. Overall, my experience was bad-average. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### M 3 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ideal location but could do with a freshen up. Ideal location in the middle of Old Town. Room was a little tired and could have done with an update in the bathroom. Only real gripe was the extractor fan seemed to be permanently on which made for a bit of a distraction when we finally went to bed. The bar was lively and a great place to start and end the evening. ##### M Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert, lake macquarie 24 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### A good place to stay that is well priced The service was good. Rooms were spacious but fairly basic. Room temperature was good. The hotel amenities were good. Great location. Breakfast was substantial ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Nov 2018 The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the food was good and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The only complaint we have was that there was a constant noise we could hear in our room that made it hard for us to get to sleep. We think it was an industrial extractor fan of some sort. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-White-Hart.h11899395.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings Highway, Derby by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Derby-Hotels-Kings-Highway.h31887923.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
