Was great.

The pub at the King's Arms is excellent; they have a brilliant chef, and breakfast is included. On the down side, the room was extremely small, and the sink isn't in the bathroom.

This venue is a live music venue and nightclub Friday & Saturday. The venue are up front about this and list it appropriately on their website but hotels.com do not. I had gone based on hotels.coms information which is miss leading. It was only at check in I discovered this, over 150miles from home. I am not exaggerating, I am not being ott, they turn into a night club from 9pm - 3am every Friday and Saturday. Music thudding until 3am. Our room was above the outside smoking shelter in a Friday night …. Not great. The venue is tired and was undergoing renovations when we visited. Room was okay. Staff were friendly, attentive & polite. Breakfast was great and allergy friendly.

Overall it was pretty good to be fair, though I think a few things could be improved. The check in was straight forward and you're given a printed sheet to put in the front of the car to cover parking in the pay & display at the rear of the building. The room was small but comfortable and clean and nicely decorated. There were fresh towels and plenty of tea & coffee. The food we had was really nice and fairly priced, and the breakfast was good too. The only complaint I would have with the breakfast is that nobody told us where everything was and what we could/couldn't have, and we were sort of left to our own devices. The server at breakfast was also a little off and almost uninterested. We also had a rather blunt exchange from another staff member regarding room payment while we were eating our evening meal which was a bit off. One thing we didn't know until we arrived was that it turned into a night club at 10pm until 2pm! That was ok for us and we stayed up and listened to the dj while we drank, but for some it might be reason to avoid the place. The access to the rooms isn't the best as the stairs are quite steep and shallow treads, but it is an old building so I can understand this. We rang the hotel ahead as my wife has a heart condition, so we needed a room on the first floor which they obliged us with. There is another floor above so worth checking if you need to. All in all a nice place with decent food and a pleasant atmosphere, service could be better. Good vfm

Nice enough rooms and pub. There were a few locals in there when we got there. Staff in the evening were very friendly, the breakfast crew not so much.

Great crash over, price and location for Old Town.

2.0 / 10.0

Pleasant enough room above a pub (apart from the didgy stains on the blanket) but almost no sleep... loud pub DJ until gone midnight (althpugh no one on the dance floor and bar almost empty) , then people shouting/ drinking in the smoking area (directly below bedroom window) until the small hours and then what sounded like a tumble dryer (?) in the landey room along the corridor on a very long cycle making a hell of a noise... finally dropped off to sleep about 5am, overslept and missed the breakfast then housekeeping knocking on the door hurrying us along before we'd even reached check out time (then standing outside talking while we packed up)

Room good but very cold on the first night with no extra blanket available. Heating put on after speaking with staff the following day. Booking in system wasn't working so I had to come back a bit later to book in and collect key. Breakfast choice good and very tasty. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Chose this as a nights stop over when traveling home from a holiday in Cornwall. We chose to come this way back as we were fed up of sitting in the none stop stop start qué we were in on the M5. Lesson learned don't travel on a Friday to Cornwall or back to Stafford on the M5. The staff here are really pleasant and helpful we also liked the fact you get a 10%discount on food and drink when eating there. There is a night club on site we never new about but as our room was well away from the DJ and music which goes on late on a weekend we didn't here a thing so really good. The food is excellent and the breakfast choice is good and filling as well. İt's quite a large Pub/Hotel so there is plenty of space for everyone, all in all we had a great night's stay here and will stay again when in the area or when the M5 motorway is at a standstill. We really liked the place and it's so handy for the centre of town and shops and the fact you can park at the rear of the hotel is also a bonus, just a brilliant place to stay.

The atmosphere was young and buzzy, not the place for a quiet weekend , as disco Friday and Saturday until 3.00am and live band Sunday evening until 11.00pm !! Unfortunately plug in bathroom sink did not work, and the pillows and duvet were of poor quality. No storage or hanging facilities in room, so fortunate we were only staying one night.

The property is a very old coaching inn. It was spotlessly clean but the shower was faulty and we were given 1 bath towel for 2 people. We felt the plinth for the shower stuck out dangerously for when using the bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Friendly, helpful staff. Good breakfast. Good value for money.

Firstly we couldn't find the carpark. Unless you know where you are going it is extremely difficult to find as it is not signposted. When we checked in we found out that there is a nightclub in the pub below between 10pm-3am on a Friday & Saturday night. There was nothing in the description that said this when we were booking. The music itself was fine and we were able to sleep as we were away from the actual dance area. However, we were woken at about half 3 with staff banging the doors closed. Not once but twice. This was on both nights. When going upstairs one of the bits of carpet had come off the stairs & was a huge trip hazard because the steps are narrow in depth. The room itself & ensuite were decorated nicely. It was very compact but was enough for what we needed for the weekend. However, it was boiling. The towel rail in the ensuite was permanently on & even when we turned it to * it still kept pumping out heat. We got the window open once with great difficulty. When we tried again the next morning it just wouldn't budge. The ensuite is designed beautifully but is to be honest a bit of a death trap. When the shower is on water goes every where. It is tiled floor & even with the shower mat it did little then become absolutely drenched. The breakfast was lovely but we found it difficult to have to choose the night before. We also had to give a time between 9 & 10am for when we wanted breakfast. We found this odd. Has good potential but not likely to stay again.

Staff here could not be more friendly or welcoming. Breakfast was great too, our room was on the 2nd floor so minimal impact from nightclub noise! So good we booked to stay again next month.

Being a Saturday night it was very crowded and noisy. We were expecting this as we know that area of town but you might want to warn other guests when booking. Also concerned as there did not seem to be any fire regulations and guidance available and if there had been a fire no fire escape

The pub and restaurant look lovely and very modern, although I didn't eat here the bar service was very quick and helpful. The room was very tired and needed a bit more than TLC. The paint Round the window was cracked and peeling for example, definitely not worth the £65 I paid! Would not stay again

The original room was up 2 flights of narrow, badly lit stairs. I thought theyd forgotten to furnish it - no chair, no table, no wardrobe, not even a tooth glass in the bathroom, Nothing but the bed & two weird looking small drawer units. I had to ask for a hairdrier & was told we only supply them to premier rooms. Thats not what the website says. And lets ace it - who doesnt supply hairdriers these days? I had to go down to find out what the internet pw was. When I asked for a glass of wine they couldnt add it to my room bill. I plugged in the iron Id requested (grubby ironing board btw) & the sockets blew. I trudged down the two flights of stairs for the fourth time. They put me in another room at the other end of the building. No apology, no offer of a glass of wine on the house, & didnt help carry anything. The new room was somewhat better furnished but poky & smelly. Clean towels had been left on the bag rack. Yuk. Hot water for tea in the breakfast room was in a flask & the water tasted metallic. Amateur, sloppy & incompetent.

This is an historic building in old town Swindon above the Kings Arms pub. Guest rooms are very recently renovated with new furniture and fixtures. Facilities are well-maintained and the staff are friendly. Good, filling, custom-prepared breakfast. The pub is very convenient too :)

It's fine. Staye here a few times. Very good value. But if you prefer 'quiet' make sure you request a room at the back of the Hotel. The front on the main street can be a bit lively.
