Comfortable and convenient stay in Old Town.

Rooms have been recently refurbished to a high standard so our room was pleasant and comfortable. Excellent shower. Staff consistently friendly and helpful.

A little more thought with detail. Nowhere to hang towels in bathroom - hooks at a minimum but ideally a towel rail. Insufficient electrical points and USB charging points not working. Extractor fan outside room 10 intrusive.

My stay wasn't as good as it could have been

My stay at the Goddard Arms, Swindon, was generally fair - have stayed there a number of times before. The staff were excellent.

On this occasion the kitchen wasn't working properly which meant a restricted dinner menu, plus I couldn't actually have the cooked breakfast I'd paid for. Also, I had to pay in cash at the bar for the first 1-2 hours because their card processing facility was down. Luckily I had sufficient cash on me.

Good stay

Lovely staff. Comfy bed. Nespresso machine in room. Iron and hairdryer. Good size room. Great breakfast, a lot of choice and the full English wasn't greasy.

Needed more coat hangers. Half roll toilet tissue and no extra. Couldn't shut bathroom window so had some snails visit the bathroom from the vines outside. Shower either scalding or freezing.

Faulty Towers! (pun intended!)

staff were helpful

Pretty run down hotel and the rooms are tired and look better in the pics than they really are. There were buckets in the corridor collecting leaking water from the roof…honestly?! Functional and cheap but that’s about it.

Good value

Perfectly adequate single room, which was nice and warm given the very cold weather. The ensuite facilities were obviously very new. I liked the Nespresso coffee machine.

The room was a little gloomy. There was a problem with the door to the ensuite, which the staff managed to fix eventually. The out of hours access arrangements were a bit confusing.

Location was perfect for a family/friends gathering The downstairs bar area is lovely.

The rooms need updating, and the floor in ours was quite uneven, which isn’t ideal when you are on crutches. The road noise was awful and I didn’t sleep much. The window sashes had snapped and the windows were filthy on the outside and there was black sooty dust all over the interior window sill. Also every time someone one closed a door our bedroom wall shook. Breakfast has burnt sausage and the scrambled egg was white 🤔 I didn’t eat it. The breakfast waitress was great, she was very welcoming and efficient. I don’t think the rooms are worth the price paid.
