"The communication was terrible, we only got the code for the apartment access after we called the owner a few times.

Delta Hotels by Marriott Swindon

8/10 Good

"Good hotel to stay and all Goof"

Holiday Inn Express Swindon City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Had a peaceful stay. Room clean and well presented. Plug holes and sink outlets could have been cleaner. Welcome staff on evening were very helpful with places to eat and got us some ice-cream when asked. An ice cream machine would be good in foyer. Very convenient parking around the corner. This hotel makes a good base for going out of the area. Sadly the local area has been run down by high retail rents. We did find a good Nepal restaurant momo king. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. Staff very attentive and helpful. Even though we sai we weren’t leaving so don’t worry our room was freshened and towels replaced. A good base for a few days . Thank you."
