Not much really
They didn’t have the rooms correct. Upon showing us to our room they opened a door to find a man in bed and realised they had a mix up. We didn’t stay at the hotel as we was concerned this could happen to us and someone could let themselves into our room. Not knowing who is in what room gave us great concern around fire safety. Should there have been a fire how would they know who was where and how to get to people.

Good location ,good price, local to food and drink outlets
Bed was a bit small. Stairs up to rooms could do with a tidy up and a link of paint.

I am deeply disappointed and this caused us significant distress.
On the last bank holiday of the year I was out for holiday and booked a room at Swans Hotle. The electricity went out in the middle of the night, leaving our phones uncharged. To make matters worse, the toilet in our room began leaking, flooding the floor with water, and leaving the bathroom in an unusable and unhygienic condition throughout the night and the following morning.
When we reported the issue to reception, housekeeping was sent after 9am however, she only placed towels on the floor without resolving the leak (understanable not her she was not a plumber). It was only after 10 a.m., when other rooms became available, that we were told we could use another room’s toilet. This caused us extreme inconvenience and discomfort.
Because of these problems, we missed our pre-booked boat journey in St. Ives, which we had paid for in advance, further ruining our trip.
At the time of leaving had a word with the manager and he told me that since we booked via Booking.com, we must raise our complaint through them. I immediately contacted Booking.com, but I was told they need confirmation from the hotel. To date, neither the hotel nor Booking.com has taken responsibility, and I have received no resolution. Both parties continue to shift the blame while we continue to suffer the consequences.
This experience not only ruined our holiday but has also left us feeling neglected as customers

The food, staff and location were all very good and welcoming. The room was very clean. The only drawback was the room being located close to the extractor system for the kitchen which made it noisy whilst the kitchen was operating.
Noise from the kitchen extractor system

The location was good, the decor was outdated, worn carpets, peeling paint, single glazing, just tired.
Needs updating, painting and refreshing all round. Food was good, restaurant was nice. Didn’t have dessert, did not even see an option for it or offered one. Did not have breakfast,as not included and started at 9:30, too late, as I was out for the day by 8. Dropped off keys when I left, no comment made. Just felt like I wasn’t really welcome.

5.0 / 10.0
Rooms were very clean and the housekeeping staff were fantastic, constantly asking if we needed more supplies or towels.
Hotel is centrally located in Wadebridge and so travel to Tintagel and other sites along the Westernside of Cornwall (NW Cornwall) are only 40 mins away.
Whilst I didn't eat here, the meals looked lovely and prices are reasonable for Cornwall and the area.
This is advertised as 4🌟 and most certainly isn't.
Carpets are worn, beds were OK, but need replacing and the hotel and rooms needs a refurn, with carpets, flooring and paint, as it is really scruffy in parts.
Further, there was no breakfast included in the price nor is there car parking (there is no parking available) and so the nearest car park is a 5-8 minute walk away.
For the price I paid for 3 nights, I wouldn't stay here again, owing to cost, looks and lack of breakfast and parking.

Enjoyed my 1 night stay here, very centrally located with shops and eating places. Breakfast was excellent but didnt start until 9.30am which was late for me since I wanted a early start in morning.
Room was quite small but ok for 1 night stay,

Room was lovely and warm, and the bath lovely
The shower. It leaked badly last year which I mentioned and yet it was still leaking when I tried to wash my hair so again it flooded the bathroom

The room was as pictured. Bright, with clean and comfortable beds. Good storage, thoughtful fan, nice complimentary hot drinks and biscuits.
Nobody turned up for work on Sunday 3rd August apart from the cleaner who was helpful but obviously unable to tell us anything about where the staff were. We met someone outside whi said she knew the manager and phoned her - something about not hearing her alarm go off. Sorry, but coming down at 10am for breakfast is hardly early!
Also communal bannisters were sticky and carpeting on late night entry stairs needs to go in the skip - really grotty and smelly.

The location is strategic for exploring North Cornwall.
1. The size and facilities of the room did NOT match the specifications on the site (there was no telephone or bottle of water)
2. The latch in the bathroom was broken and, to be honest, quite neglected by the staff, with excuses that it could not be fixed during the weekends despite us having stayed for almost a week. We had to spend an entire week using a DOOR STOPPER (we also had to ask for this thrice!) There was no consideration of the dignity of guests during the stay AT ALL. Moreover, the cooler and two fans provided in the room were barely serving the purpose of cooling the place or providing minimal ventilation.
3. The stairway to the upper floor stinks.
We would like to express particular concern over the manager of the hotel (female, although unclear of preferable pronouns) and the female more than the male attendants.
- When we flagged up the broken latch, her first response was "Oh, no one else has reported it!"—which has an undertone of putting the blame on the whistleblower rather than accepting accountability. On that note, the staff have repeatedly displayed dismissive behavior when we have tried to place orders at their counter (ignoring us in the queue to entertain other customers, not acknowledging our presence and walking away with no courtesy or eye contact)
As a couple of single, brown women, we are sorry to say that all of this would classify as racist, bullying behaviour with no accountability for one's own shortcomings. ESPECIALLY the demeanour of the manager was purely toxic, insincere and fake.
Overall, a disappointing and for lack of a better word, ABYSMAL stay at the Swan Hotel; the rating overestimates the performance by a disproportionate margin. There's lots to learn for the staff and administration on how to make guests feel respected and genuinely cared for—it probably means a lot more than superficial chit-chat at the drinks counter to just entertain the "beer republic"!

Clean room-adequate facilities.
Management not interested in guests. Fire alarm went off-nobody seemed interested. Noisy bar late on. Bike left where it could be seen from outside.

The frontage was better than the interior
It was dirty, unkempt, sticky banisters, worn out carpets on the stairs, flakey paintwork, tired, seagull droppings on inside of the bedroom window …….. need I go on?

The Swan Hotel is Central so no immediate parking available but the is a free overnight car park a few minutes walk away.
it has a good bar, staff and food. It’s lively and popular.
The room had tea coffee etc and its was colour coordinated.
Our room was hot but there were fans and the opened window let cooler air in at night.
The mattress and pillows were a bit too soft for us , but that’s personal preference
The plumbing was interesting but worked okay
The paintwork could be due for a refresh
Generally a little tired
That said we had a pleasant stay

Didn't stay, just left.

Nicely decorated room, good storage options e.g. wardrobe and some coffee and drinks sachets which we used.
The towels and the sheets provided did not smell clean, this was quite off-putting. The water drained very slowly in the shower so had to keep turning the water off.

The Swan Hotel is ideally located in the centre of Wadebridge, next to all of the shops, cafes and restaurants. Our room had plenty of storage space for our clothes and belongings. The bed was extremely comfortable. A kettle and complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits were provided. There were also complimentary toiletries in the bathroom. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
There was nothing I didn't like.
