Old Swindon Charm

Late check in with an unplanned over night stop, duty manager very accommodating, comfortable hotel, missed breakfast so had to pay again for it - only luke warm, would stay again but would challenge the quality of breakfast.

Great customer service, my bedroom was clean but the door into the bedroom needs changing as there was quite a big gap underneath. There was a constant noise coming from the large extractor fan outside which made it harder to fall asleep on the first night.

It's a really nice pub with a good atmosphere as I arrived on Sat night. The noise from the pub did not travel thru to my room either. Clean white cotton sheets and bath towels, decent tv, lovely powerful shower. The tea and coffee were good quality (Twinnings). The staff were super polite and helpful
