Breakfast was very good, although we had to pay extra when we arrived as found out booking.com has dropped this facility? Rooms are comfortable & spacious
Rooms looking tired now & could use a lick of paint, shower grubby with mould & rust around the door & cubicle, found the bed to be a bit hard (personal taste?).
Meals in the (attached) pub expensive, bland and not great value for money.

Just what we needed for an overnight stay. Room was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed.

Have stayed numerous times and find them so accommodating.
I like that you have your own entrance rather than endless corridors to walk through , and a sitting area just outside so you don’t feel coupled up.
Nothing all was good

Overall a pleasant stay. Had an upstairs room and liked the balcony . Room was clean . Very good sound proofing couldn't hear a sound from outside. Effective blackout curtains.. Room had everything reqd. Kettle , iron , hairdryer . Very good shower . First time using this establishment and it gave excellent value for money. Didn't try the breakfast as checked out before breakfast sitting in order to continue journey. Will use The Sun again as we need to stay in Swindon 3 or 4 times a year and it's only 5 mins from M4 Junction 15.
Standard double bed felt a little cramped as used to bigger at home.

The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff were welcoming.
We weren’t told how to check out early despite having said that we’d be going at 8.00 - the main building was all locked up so we just put our room keys through the post box on the front door.

Stayed the night before the Swindon Half Marathon. Enjoyed a drink there when we arrived, and had a meal on both Saturday night and Sunday lunch. Location was perfect, the food was great and the owners and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Even let us keep the room on as long as we wanted so we could shower after the race. Loved staying there and will definitely book for next time
Absolutely nothing

We stayed here for a couple of nights following our wedding, so we didn't have to deal with the building site we were living in for a couple of days, and it was great! The staff were super helpful especially the manager/landlady, Bridget I think (apologies if this is wrong it has been a couple of months).
The room was large and clean with plenty of space for us getting ready pre wedding.
The food here is also great!
We live local so doubt we will stay again but definitely recommend!

location
I stayed at Sun Inn Hotel, Swindon on 22nd August and was very disappointed with my experience. I had booked a Super Deluxe Room, which was supposed to include a sofa bed. However, upon arrival I was given a standard room instead.
At check-in around 2:30 PM, I simply picked up the keys and left straight away as I was in a rush, so I didn’t actually see the room at that time. When I returned later in the evening (around 9:00–10:00 PM), I discovered that the room was not what I had booked.
This was frustrating and very disappointing, as I paid for a specific room type and did not receive it. Guests should get exactly what they book, and the hotel should take greater care to ensure that doesn’t happen again.

Friendly staff, nice food
Expensive for RIAT weekend, like a lot places are when they have a major event down the road. Don’t blame owners for doing it if they can cash in but it’s more than doubled over last 2 years, and will be even more next year. Might consider camping and then places like Sun Inn won’t get any business from RIAT goers after a couple of years

Welcoming staff (especially Bridget, the manager) who went well above and beyond to make our stay ‘work’ - especially thanks for accommodating our dog after my error in not explaining we were bringing her. We were so grateful. Not only that thought, they were hugely accommodating in all respects. The room was super clean and provided everything we needed - even down to authentic Yorkshire tea bags! Very comfortable bed and great shower (with gel and shampoo 🙏). Very quiet too, even though close to road - could only hear the birds when we woke up!
Nothing - really liked it here as a convenient, friendly, clean and comfortable stay

Room was very clean, quiet,had good quality black out curtains.
Yorkshire Tea & Nescafé refreshments. Iron & ironing board. Table n chairs outside & included breakfast for less than £90. Very efficient check in& put by friendly staff.
Even better 5 mins to work that day!
I have paid a lot more at other places and not received such good value, card or attention
Room great. The pub is a genuine pub!
