The Holiday Inn Express in Swindon was a lovely surprise! It was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The breakfast was excellent. Every member of staff we encountered was very helpful and friendly. The absolute bonus was the very reasonable price. There is not one negative for me!
This hotel is very pleasant, I like the hotel environment, it is really beautiful, the front desk service is also warm, the breakfast is rich, the bed is very comfortable, all of which makes us feel very good.
The hotel was well located as we visited friends in nearby Wootton Basset - reception was courteous and efficient in our check in… we asked for a room way from the lifts and this request was delivered.
The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Air conditioning worked perfectly given it’s been a very hot few days!
Breakfast the following morning had plenty choices and tables were clean and cleared up quickly. Staff in restaurant were very efficient and courteous. Express check- in was good too. Overall a great stay and serves us well.
The hotel is a large British house with wooden floors, my door is on the top floor, the room is large, the family room is kingsize bed. The shower head is very good and offers a variety of toiletries.
The hotel location is good. Quite quick and convenient for checking in the hotel. However, the room was outdated with old carpet. The air condition was very old and so loud.
Our stay at this hotel left us feeling a bit underwhelmed. While I wouldn't go so far as to say avoid it entirely, I can't recommend it or see myself returning.
The room, advertised as having a king-size bed, disappointingly turned out to be a double. Despite the hotel's emphasis on green choices, the room was unbearably warm upon arrival. We had to open both the windows and the door just to cool it down. This lack of basic comfort seemed counterintuitive to their eco-conscious branding.
Furthermore, small but crucial amenities were absent, such as a hairdryer, and some lights weren't working. The absence of an in-room phone meant there was no easy way to request these missing items, adding to the overall inconvenience.
The breakfast experience was equally disappointing. The so-called buffet consisted of a small, albeit pleasant, continental breakfast. However, being asked immediately upon arrival if we'd like to pay an additional £10 for a cooked breakfast made the setup feel misleading. At £14.50, the continental breakfast alone did not feel like good value.
The restaurant also had a notice about a £2.50 charge for menu amendments. While I understand the principle of upcharges, this particular policy felt excessive and off-putting.
These issues were compounded by a lack of personal touches that form the foundation of good customer service. No one asked at checkout or during breakfast how our stay had been, a small but impactful gesture that could have mitigated some of our disappointments.
In hindsight, I feel I overpaid by about 20-30% compared to the value I received. Knowing what I do now, I likely wouldn't have chosen this hotel for our stay.
Two big and one small beds, the room is big enough, and the bathroom is fine. The stairs are too narrow, the old house, the first floor is a bar restaurant, convenient dining, good taste, parking lot in the inner courtyard
My family and I stayed in 2 rooms which inc a dinner package.
We had a very warm lovely welcome by the receptionist who was extremely helpful.
Our room was not as clean as we would have expected which was a shame but it was nice to have a room with 2 double beds. The handle on one of the bathroom doors was faulty so we had to leave it open when using the bathroom.
We had booked the dinner package and booked our table in advance for 7pm. I understand that they were quite busy that evening but unfortunately we still didn't get our food order taken until 8pm. The kids got their meals soon after but the adult main meals didn't arrive until 9pm. It was a long time for us to wait when our children were getting restless and tired. We also by that point felt it was too late to eat and didn't finish our meals. We did speak to the manager and eventually they did compensate for the long wait so we appreciated that.
Breakfast was brilliant lots of choice and good timings for breakfast.
The swimming area needs a bit of a refurb. Even though there is lots of space it just needs a bit of TLC and a refresh.
Other than the few items mentioned we still had a lovely stay with family
The receptionists were exceptional and every understanding. They even spoke to us the following day to apologise about the issue with the dinner.
We wouldn't let it stop us from staying there again.
An excellent base we use while visiting family in the area, the hotel is set in a quiet area with ample parking and very good amenities including the pool.
The staff are all super friendly and keen to help with any issues
Our only issue, that did not impact our stay too much, was the booking and payment system had not correctly accepted my prepayment for 2 rooms, I had paid using Trip.com via PayPal payments over 3 payments, the hotel claimed we had only paid for 1 room, I had to prove by statements and invoices that I had paid for both.
This did not warrant a negative review in my opinion, but should be looked at by the hotel chain admin.
Very Good

KKhooI wouldn’t think anything would go wrong as with one-night stays at a lot of the hotels I’ve stayed at. I love the unique the hotel exudes, very much accentuated with the internal steps, turns and multiple corridors. It can be rather challenging if you have heavy luggage, especially when it’s more than a piece. Thumbs up for Jamie (the receptionist on shift) as he has been of great help. I’d give the full English breakfast a miss if I’d stay for more than a day as it’s virtually drenched in oil. There’s a pressure pump in the bathroom which sounds every 20 minutes and that made it difficult to sleep as I’m a light sleeper. The room which I have been assigned heats up when the sun hits the west facade of the hotel and it’s very uncomfortable if one doesn’t leave the room. All in all a pleasant stay and I hope my feedback will provide some impetus for improvement.
PpotatoheadukStandardized quality as a well-known chain hotel brand. Spacious room, hot shower, free hot drink machine and free microwave oven available at lobby, free delicious cooked breakfast.

88285SueHI stay at The Angel three or four times annually and have done so now for a number of years.
The location is excellent for me to visit family who live nearby. Parking at Sainsbury’s (through the gate at the rear of the courtyard) is convenient, or there is some on-road parking at the front of the property. Rooms are well appointed and always very clean.
On this latest visit I had to request a room change since the door to my room was extremely difficult to unlock and then could not be closed properly from the inside. As a lone female traveller,safety and security is paramount. Unfortunately, as I experienced similar problems on my previous visit a few months ago, it appears that this may be an ongoing issue ( perhaps weather-related) that now needs to be addressed with some urgency.
GGuest UserLovely hotel, polite and friendly staff, ample parking, excellent location in the heart of town. Only negative is the stains on the bathroom walls that could easily be removed with a little more attention to detail and the cold tap hardly let out any water. Unfortunately there wasn't any real ale available whilst we were there thus stopping us from enjoying that facility.
