Do you like beige? Yes? Then this is the hotel for you…read more Everything about this place is mediocre; the functionally bland rooms with their tiny en-suites, the price, the food, the location, the frustratingly slow wifi and the colour scheme. Beigeness. And that's not even a real word. The website description starts with the excitement inducing sentence: 'This welcoming hotel is less than 5-minutes drive from junction 15 of the M4 and 2 miles from central Swindon.' QED. Incidentally, waiting 90 minutes for room service is not pleasant. I actually gnawed part of my arm off due to the hunger. No doubt the restaurant was busy and it's near Christmas and blah blah blah. On the plus side the staff are nice enough and very helpful. In addition, there is a swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and gym for all your fitness needs. Oh, it's also close to a steam museum... So, if you're the sort of person who likes to stay in cheap, clean and vapid environments for a night, don your M&S khaki trousers and drive your Toyota Corolla down the M4 for a fun-filled yawn-fest. This place achieves in providing you with everything you need but nothing you really want.

First they left one tissue left in the tissue box then we only had enough toilet paper for one use no back up toilet paper. A towel had a brown stain on it when I was about to use it. Then the phone wasn't working. They came down to try to fix it with no luck and didn't even offer to accommodate us to another room. I asked receptionist if they had a microwave and they sent me to the restaurant and I asked the server and he said yes they can warm up my food then the manager came yelling saying no no our food and I said okay that's fine no big deal.

But not a full 5 stars because when my brother and I drove into the carpark of this hotel, realized there were a limited number of parking spaces, and were super lucky to get the last spot. The parking is a bit awkward and just not enough spaces for the number of hotel rooms! Also you have to make sure to register your car license plate number when checking in at reception so you don't get a fine/ or your car towed away. The gal at reception who checked us in was super friendly and if you are a Hilton Gold member, you get free breakfast, but you have to let them know when checking in, so that your room number is on the list. I really liked the design of the bathroom- it's a tiny space, but really well thought out and it didn't feel cramped. The design included a super ingenious shower mechanism whereby the shower door swung inside! Also good quality loo paper was used! The bed was a delight - firm and comfortable. But my friend who was traveling along complained it was too hard for him, so guess that's individual tastes. Breakfast was a treat! They had menu items I had never seen before on a Hilton breakfast menu. One option was Kippers which my brother and I tried out and split. It was basically a very omega rich fish in lemon and butter. The other option was a hot smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on a brioche bun. Gosh - I received a massive helping of this and while tasty, just couldn't finish off the plate! You get a lot of food (& protein) if you decided to get this breakfast menu option. I also really liked the waffles! Loved that the waffle design had the Hilton logo. Staff at reception were great-provided us with map and excellent directions on how to head to the Bristol City center via the Temple Church and Gardens, which are located right behind this hotel. Check-out was smooth and overall really enjoyed the stay at this Hotel. Yelp 168/ 2019

What a wonderful surprise…read more This is a Best Western Hotel (posh type of BW though). They have a Spanish charcoal oven for the steaks and what a difference that makes. Obviously the meat needs to be good, it is, but cooking in this way just elevates a good steak to an excellent steak. Anyway, starters was a modern take on a prawns cocktail; fresh and mighty fine. I've never had a few large battered prawns nestling on top of a standard prawn cocktail but it works! The main course was an 8oz rib steak (plenty big enough; I tried the 10oz sirloin but it's too lean) with chunky chips and a fiery pepper sauce. Mushrooms and tomatoes are also there. I can't offer any negative points. Really top notch food. The house wine is also good enough. It's worth a go!

Definitely 2 thumbs up (Mrs G and myself)!…read more My 4 star rating is based on the whole experience- and what an experience! A truly wonderful long weekend (3 night stay). The food (both dinner and breakfast) was definitely good, not Michelin star by any means (they are preparing meals for hundreds at the same times after all! - but good and plentiful with many choices and options. Breakfast from full English to Continental and more. Dinner involves 3 courses, good and friendly service with many choices including a different roast every day, a different themed cuisine every day (E.g. Asian etc) and specials (look just above the desserts on the daily menu). The rooms are clean and roomy enough, service is good, but it must be about time to bring in new mattresses please!). The building itself, inside and out, and the history is MAGNIFICENT. And then the entertainment every night - a LOT of fun and John-Philip was amazing. We have never (by choice) been on a cruise but this must be a somewhat similar experience for a quick getaway with things to do all day long (and evening til after midnight) The food, both dinners and breakfast was both plentiful, varied and pretty good.

Hotel rooms, in the main, are typically Warners - a step up from a Travel Lodge but not much more. A couple of historic rooms are available (including a haunted one!) with a little more character. Breaks here are half-board and you'll find yourself sitting on an allocated table in a huge restaurant. Service here can be buffet or a la carte at your pleasure. Food is OK, a notch above school catering but a long way from fine dining. Leisure facilities are good. The majority of guests will be retired, and a long-time retired at that. Evening entertainment is provided and ranges from acceptable to quite good. It's easy listening in the main. Themed breaks happen throughout the year ranging from entertainment breaks through to sporting or arty breaks. A small additional charge will apply. This place used to be good to use as a base for travelling. Unfortunately, increases in prices have made other options more attractive. Warners are trying to lower their target market but this is not really yet evidenced. No children
