I nearly let the negative reviews here put me off this hotel. So glad I didn't. Warm and well-equipped with the nicest, friendliest staff throughout. Yes, the decor is a little jaded, particularly the bedrooms, but overall, this is a great place to stay. Great room rates through the hotel's own website. Good restaurant (unfortunately overpriced though) and lovely spa... more

A bit drab and outdated. In desperate need of redecorating, a bit stuck in 1970,s at moment. Rooms adequate, but decor drab. Views overlooking multi storey car park depressing. Beds were comfortable, but housekeeping questionable. Bed sheets not even straightened. Bathroom ok, plenty of hot water, be careful of shower, water extremely hot, despite control. Noise at night and early... more

On business in Teeside, easy to find, good car parking. Hotel a bit dated but heck !! Food was good especially the breakfast, comfortable room which was spotless, and SKY sports in the bar, I was a happy bunny. more

We were booked in here by a travel company for a weekend break - definitely not a place we would have chosen to stay in as it;s right in the centre of Stockton and is surrounded by pubs and nightclubs and there was a lot of noise(shouting,sirens etc) until 5am in the morning. Lots of rubbish outside the hotel. Reception... more

I can't really believe this is a 3 star hotel. Stayed there because the Thistle in Middlesbrough was full. Front of house is dingy and amazed there's no broadband access - they sent me across the road to a pub! Bathroom was barely clean, room over-heated, view across to a carpark. Very grudging about getting me a (fairly nasty) meal... more

At one time prior to Marriott taking away the best hotels Swallow where a quality chain. The Stockton Swallow was a long way from the best but was reasonable. You can still see remnants of how it used to look but unfortunatly it is decaying rapidly. A good example are the toliets off the main bar area. Now the wash... more

I work in Stockton and live some distance away so have stayed at the Swallow a few times when working late. The choice of hotels in Stockton is pretty limited with the budget hotels usually booked in advance. The general appearance of the hotel is tired and like something out of the 70s, but the check in staff are friendly... more

This was a useful place to stay with its town centre location, but not really inspiring. The building is ugly (and dominates Stockton's townscape in a truly hideous way) and while some of the upper floor rooms must have nice views (Cleveland hills, Tees barrage perhaps?) I wouldn't know as my second-floor room could see only an entrance to the... more

I was visiting the area on business so I picked the Swallow Stockton as it was only £40 on [--]. When I arrived all was well, I parked my car in the car park (easy to find,) then it was all down hill. I got to the entrance from the car park to reception down a dingy corridor where you... more
