Pros:

Ce n'est pas la faute de l'hôtel. Malheureusement, Swindon n'est ni très jolie ni très sympa à visiter (je fréquente cette ville depuis 35 ans car j'ai de la famille ici). Le centre-ville où se trouve l'hôtel est hélas en chute libre avec beaucoup de magasins fermés depuis 10 ans.

Christmas Spirit has certainly come to this Premier Inn this year
Pros:

Thank you so much - Christmas Spirit has certainly come to this Premier Inn this year. The decorations in the reception as you walk in are FANTASTIC, the kids loved all the lights and decorations and especially loved the table of treats and colouring packs. Our room was spacious and clean if a little cold over night. Our breakfast was great, fresh, hot and plenty of food. The restaurant could do with an extension one of the smallest ones we have eaten in, but way above the rest for quality and service. The staff here should be commended on their service, there are areas of the hotel that look very worn out especially outside but i would come back every time. Well done

Great location but book in advance if you want to eat there
Pros:

Excellent location and friendly staff.

Unfortunately, we weren't aware that the hotel doesn't have a lift, which meant lugging cases up the stairs. The room was clean and pleasant, with a nice fresh bathroom, though.

We were unable to get a table in the restaurant next door, as we weren't aware we would need to book in advance. Luckily, there is a retail park with restaurants not too far away. But it was raining and cold, so not ideal, particularly with a small child.

Near the M5, but very quiet.
Pros:

Considering its location, this was a very quiet hotel. Most welcome after an awful day travelling down the M5. The hotel itself is a little tired, but I guess the price reflected that. Would certainly stay again if and when required.

Friendly staff
Pros:

Staff at both the hotel and pub were so so friendly and helpful, I couldn’t fault them at all. It’s my first solo hotel stay and their friendliness really helped to put me at ease.

The room was clean and in perfect condition

Mini Premier Inn
Pros:

Just a small hotel this, mainly for the trade. There were many white vans outside!
The staff make this hotel. All seemed happy and nothing was too much trouble to help.

Found the room to be the bog standard Premier Inn and perfectly acceptable if a bit pricey (£130 for one night). Windows in desperate need of a clean from the outside.

Breakfast is served in 'The Social' a small room which somehow manages to squeeze in a few tables, a place for the continental food and a tiny kitchen. I worked out that most of the workmen would be down early for breakfast so went after 8am when it was thankfully a bit quieter. Would be a bit tight if everybody went down for breakfast at the same time. There was what looked like a derelict pub next door which I suspect may have been used for breakfast before closing down and P.I have had to think on their feet to provide breakfast for their customers.

Hotel is a 20 min walk from the rail station, no local buses nearby.

Good Hotel - Great Staff!
Pros:

The hotel is lovely and clean, the food choice limited but cooked well. My steak was cooked to perfection!
But I really want to talk about the staff! Sofia was so lovely - polite and attentive and friendly.
Alison! Whatever ever they are paying Alison is not enough! She was on the breakfast service and was sooo lovely - friendly and sunny and interested in people.
Other members of staff were great too, but I didn't get their names 😒 my bad!
I hope my comments find their way to the staff mentioned!

An extremely pleasant stay with an easy walk into town centre.
Pros:

Have stayed at Premier Inn many times and my husband and I were extremely pleased with our stay here. Our room was very clean with an opening window and controllable heating. Breakfast was served in the Beefeater next door and was extremely well cooked and tasty. I am coeliac and the staff were very well trained and very helpful providing toast. Our walk into Tamworth over the bridge was enjoyable and took about 10 minutes with wonderful views of the castle and rivers.

Very good stay
Pros:

Stayed for a local pool tournament, staff here are amazing and very accommodating. Stayed in a premier room with fridge and coffee machine, very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was buffet in the beefeater which was hot and plentiful. Would definitely choose to stay here again if in the area.

WOW, the family room we had to stay in was HUGE
Pros:

WOW, the family room we had to stay in was HUGE a great room. Although the aircon was not working so a little on the chilly side, but reception lady was great and gave us a heater. The kids really enjoyed their gifts, if any negative the outside could do with a refresh paint job looking very worn. But the staff are great and can't do enough. Thank you again

TERRIBLE
Pros:

My husband and I stayed at the Taunton East Premier Inn hotel in October 2025 on our way down to the Ferry Port at Plymouth. What a disappointment it was.
The room looked nothing like the photographs on this page, was very tired in need of renovation and worst of all the room was extremely dirty. Cobwebs everywhere, dirty/dusty carpets, stains on the walls. Even the corridors looked as if they'd not been cleaned or hoovered for sometime.
To top it all the room cost for one night was over £100!! Definitely not value for money!
We have used Premier Inns in all sorts of places and always been completely satisfied with the experience - but not on this occasion!

Look around for a better hotel
Pros:

Water pressure very very low in both had basin and shower . Also on our last day we was unable to shower due to being no hot water in the room and no one available to complain to at reception. It's quite a noisy hotel being near a main road also on the other side people checking in later or returning from pub. Bathroom a few hairs around wash basin yuk on check in. The Beefeater at the side of the premier was not brilliant neither with half the food on offer on the menu not being available Friday through to Sunday 5pm on Sunday and no Sunday roast beef or Turkey even on the desert menu. So not really worth buying the meal deal. Breakfast bread and pastries stale, cold plates, cold and burnt food. The toilets well think they would get closed down if the environment authority's went in, they are totally disgusting. It's a shame as they have fantastic helpful staff at the Beefeater and at the hotel.
