Great place for the football

Tired and dirty
Pros:

The Swindon Village Hotel spoilt our little 2 night get away, due to the cleanliness and the condition the hotel is in. The outside is tired, then inside you're met with a dark tired unclean interior that really puts you off from the get go including the un-inviting reception check-in desk.

Check- in: The check-in is self service with a member of staff helping you and others at the same time trying to check in electronically. It's not a supermarket. Can't a receptionist just check people in or just have both in place? If there were more than two sets of visitors trying to check in at once on the screens, it would be quite a long wait.

Walking to the room:The paintwork along the corridor is all chipped. The lift was dirty. Glass doors dirty. You just didn't want to touch anything. Dark and tired.

The room positives: First impression of the room was very good because it was a great size. The beds are huge and very comfy though we didn't sleep under the duvet and would have chosen not to even if it wasn't scorching temperatures in the UK just because the whole experience felt too dirty too.The room also had a really big TV to suit the room size. A sofa. Fan. Coffee machine.

The room negatives: The room lacked sockets.
Decor dark and very tired, tatty giving the illusion of filth due to all the chipped and broken things in the room. Dirty stuff , chairs, ironboard, curtains etc.

There's no attention to detail cleaning though a VERY basic ok. We had to clean ourselves just to feel comfortable!! Some areas had thick dust. Extremely tatty bathroom. Duck tape fastening blinds together. But I also think the cleaners would be wasting their time due to the mess its in. It all needs a huge investment.

External: Unfortunately there was continuous revving of car engines. It's not the hotel's fault, but there's alot around the hotel, so if you want quiet, you'd probably be better finding elsewhere.

The pool: The pool was nice. The changing rooms could do with good cleaners.The showers also had black mould.

Parking: Good. But better signage on the road would be better.

Excellent will definitely look at this chain for stays in other towns I visit
Pros:

The room was huge, I asked for a bath which I got, it was very deep. The swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna were lovely. Staff were very friendly and helpful, I didn’t have a remote for the tv but within 5 minutes they’d brought one to me. shows that a minor problem is rectified with no fuss and a smile! Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand wash provided in the bathroom. Two decent sized cups for drinks, and some biscuits and two nice tumblers for water, I hate a tiny water glass as I like to have a glass of water next to my bed! Also they had a water cooler in the lobby which is a nice touch. In my room I had a hairdryer, iron and ironing board. I didn’t have the breakfast, but it looked nice. I will definitely look at this chain hotels for stays in other places

Cons:

No usb charging ports in the plug sockets.Not a problem for me as I’d brought a charger plug with me and there were plenty of plug sockets, but if I was to suggest an improvement this would be it

Andrebbe rimodernato , negli anni 80/90 probabilmente era il top.
Pros:

Posizione ottima (per le mie necessità) , staff disponibile e gentile, servizi interni come Pub (si mangia molto bene) , palestra e piscina (non ho provato nessuna delle due) , colazione ottima a un prezzo ragionevole, aree esterne e ampio parcheggio.
Letto confortevole.

Cons:

Sensazione generale di scarsa pulizia (anche se tutte le mattine veniva pulito tutto) forse dato dalla moquette e da qualche ragnatela qua e la.
Stanza senza aria condizionata che non sarebbe una tragedia se si potessero spalancare le finestre, ma purtroppo si possono aprire solo un paio di centimetri, in dotazione un ventilatore che muoveva aria calda.
Bagno con scalda salviette che non si poteva spegnere e mandava caldo come un termosifone, questo con 34 gradi.
Mancanza di un mini frigo.

Pros:

Great on site facilities - gym, pool etc plus restaurant, bar and Starbucks. Lovely courtyard to sit in the sun. Downstairs looks very well maintained and modern.

Cons:

The room felt a little bit tired, chips to the wood of the desk and just a bit dark.
Hated the self service check in.

Pros:

Staff were so friendly and the bed was very comfy.

Cons:

The lamp didn't work and the blind was broken, it didn't make it easy to get ready in the mirror. The mirror wasn't near a plug socket and we had to move the desk to get to use the hairdryer. There's also no sockets by the bed to charge phones. I paid extra for the Club room, which listed a positive as free parking, but all parking is free regardless of the room type.

Cons:

The decor was a bit tired in places and very dark.
Some maintenance needed in our room with 3 light fittings loose.
Receptionist seemed a bit condecending, as if I had no tablet computer skills on check in.
She was totally wrong. Sounded like a school teacher.

La chambre familiale était incroyablement grande ! La literie était parfaite. Le petit déjeuner était bien, tout y était : viennoiserie, English breakfast, yaourt, jus de fruit, toast, beurre, confitures, céréales.

Cons:

Déception car l'accès à la piscine était payant (5 livres sterling), nous n'avions pas compris cela en réservant.
