Hotels Near Haydonleigh Skatepark in Swindon

Having used this Hotel on many occasions for stays and for dining experiences I was very disappointed this time around. Check in was not straightforward as they couldn’t find my booking, only to be told I’d booked on a third party site. Since when has Best Western been a third party to their own hotels ?? I notice just how dated and run down the hotel was looking. Seating in the main areas was showing signs of age with tips and damage. Staff weren’t as friendly as previously, they didn’t speak first, only when spoken too. The numbering wasn’t the easiest when it came to finding our room. It was noticeably dated in our room and also not of the cleanest. Pictures, mirrors and lights had a covering of dust as did the wardrobe. The room had a slight odour which we said was maybe the “Air Conditioning” system. Don’t be fooled, this isn’t an AC system, it’s a hot air system. The rooms get very stuffy at night as you’re not able to open any windows as the room doesn’t have any. It has French doors however being on The ground floor it’s not possible to have the door open for the night. Breakfast was an extremely poor experience, in fact probably the worst ever. It’s all self service, from the tea and coffee through to the toast. The coffee flasks AND the hot water were all empty. No vegetarian options were available on either of the hot or cold serveries. It felt more like an old canteen environment with the empty sounding room. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired, cobwebs hanging from the windows and ceiling all around and above the food serving area. Having been told to sit anywhere it was very diff with over a quarter of the tables still having dirty dishes and food on them. All in all a very disappointing experience for what was a getaway for my wife and I. And reception weren’t interested in our experience at check out !! Definitely won’t be staying here again unless they drastically change, which I very much doubt

Great location, easy parking, great room and excellent night's sleep. Although in a central location, noise was minimal.

”Our stay at DoubleTree Hotel was pleasant and comfortable. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and well-maintained, with all the necessary amenities provided. We especially appreciated the warm cookies upon arrival, a nice touch that added to the welcoming atmosphere. While the decor may be somewhat dated, it didn't detract from our overall experience. The location was convenient, with easy access to transportation and nearby attractions. Overall, DoubleTree Hotel provided us with a satisfactory stay and good value for the price.”

Overall its worth the price. Only one downside, which the bathroom was a bit outdated with poor shower pressure. And we chose this hotel at the first place only because of the air conditioner, and it functioned well. There was a big carpark outside the hotel and staff members were friendly.

We had a stopover in Swindon so that we could travel to Stonehenge for my wife’s birthday. I asked the hotel in advance to do something to mark the occasion, which they did very well. When we checked in, the room had balloons and happy birthday messages all around the room. Another thing that impressed me was the breakfast. I have just been to a Premier Inn hotel in London on business at the time of writing this review. While Premier Inn offers slightly more variety in their breakfast foods, the quality of food in this Holiday Inn Express is exceptional, light years ahead of Premier Inn. Well done, Holiday Inn Express Swindon West!

Excellent. Location to m4 is great for working on the road or for leisure purposes. Very clean and exceptionally efficient with turn around. Check in quick. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast options for room service are one of the best I've had, better than some 4/5 stars! IHG are setting the standard for value, service and overall performance very high and my go to hotel group at the moment. IHG being Holiday Inn, Hilton and Roko to name a few.
