Bought a voucher through groupon, so got excellent value, but in all honesty? even at full cost, with location and amenities, it's a good budget choice. The hotel is clean, the staff pleasent, the breakfast hearty free parking for residents (just ask for token to put in your car) Full english included (ignore note in room saying it's extra) We...

Friendly welcome. Very clean rooms and warm and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful Rooms a nice size with a comfortable bed, though pillows could be a bit better. Would definitely recommend to friends and family, and would stay here again if in the area.

Got this through groupon so for the price can't complain. Was right in the centre of town, free parking and breakfast included. When we walked into the bar, the guy behind wasn't so friendly, but that didn't worry me. We checked into our rooms and at first were shocked. It reminded my mother in law of her nan's house, which... More

Stayed with wife and 5yr old on the Groupon deal. Staff very good, good large bar with pool table and breakfast was nice. It took a while to arrive, as I think the entire hotel went as soon as they opened on Sunday morning. Once they got going we saw food coming out quickly. This is not the quietest room... More

We stayed for one night as part of a Groupon deal (we're getting to be a couple of old Groupies!). The location is handy for the station and the retail park. (When we stayed there, contractors were working on the station site). Free parking included - be sure to pick up a windscreen notice when you check in, otherwise it's... More

My husband and I stayed for one night on the £27 Groupon Deal. Having been an avid patron of the GW bar in the past, when I lived in Swindon, I took up the offer to combine with a night away and a meet up with friends. How disappointing. On arrival we were given directions to our room....and no wonder.... More
