“good value - breakfast good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

good points are the breakfast - very good range and quality, help yourself to whatever you wanted. Pool, steam room etc also very good. Pillows and quilts very good quality (feather and down), very secure car parking although not sure why £3 charge (but this does cover your whole visit). We didn't eat dinner in the restaurant but there is a Beefeater over the road. Location is about 10 mins by car from swindon.

Not so good points, dusty lamps in room, slight crack in bathroom sink, toilet roll holder broken (toilet roll on piece of "dowling" which I knocked off a couple of times as screw missing at one end). Friends who came away with us mentioned stains on the carpet in their room and communal carpets in need of some repair

Overall staff were very professional and helpful and we did enjoy our visit and we would definitely stay again if visiting area in future

Room Tip: we stayed on the ground floor quite near the pool area, these rooms were ok, quiet

“Excellent hotel- we will return again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I have reviewed this hotel before but felt I wanted to add an up-to-date comment. We visited last month and were very happy with the rooms, the customer service and this time, the restaurant. Last time I commented that the breakfast was chaotic but this time the experience was different and much improved. We also had dinner in the restaurant and that was excellent again.
We were disappointed that the swimming pool was closed but we were given a voucher to use at Swindon Oasis but we decided against going there (as one of their pools was also closed and would have been busy with children). It was good that the hotel had made efforts to find an alternative.
This time I have marked the hotel as Excellent as we will definitely return because we enjoyed our stay and felt comfortable and welcome.

Thank you for your complimentary comments about the Hilton Swindon, the Larder Restaurant and our staff. I am pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the disappointment that the LivingWell pool closure impacted during your stay. This was due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control and for Health and Safety reasons we regret the pool area had to be closed. We very much appreciate your understanding regarding this.

We hope to welcome you back to the Hilton Swindon at some point in the future.

Eat in the restaraunt....make sure you buy an expensive bottle of white wine, they are lovely! The food was SUPERB!....well, and as for the breakfast...I have never seen so much fresh, wonderful food at that time in the morning! THE STAFF WERE FANTASTIC - EVER SO POLITE & REALLY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAPPY! We stayed here and went to Longleat on one of the days - it always has been my favourite place - you must go there too!
The room is SPOTLESS and really nice! Writting this review makes me want to go back there now! lovely place to be! Go there asap!
