De Vere Swindon Hotel

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the last four years. Firstly I stayed in a "speciality room" 4 poster bed. This was awful as the bed had 3 mattresses on it, which gave me a bad back due to little support. After the first night I slept the rest of my time there on the floor. I had a standard room the next time I stayed and an executive the following stays, both rooms were essentially the same size with the same small bathroom, the executive rooms now have aircon, which is essential in the summer months while staying at... more

I stayed at the De Vere Swindon with my wife and daughter recently - had to pay a £25 upgrade to get a family room (classed as 'Executive') but it was worth it. The room itself was large, beautifully furnished with air conditioning and complimentary drinks fridge. A small balcony with a table and chairs added a nice extra to the room facilities. Hotel itself is equally well decorated and furnished with excellent comon areas, stylish patios and a good size pool and gym. The restaurant is large and well designed, staff attentive and food of... more

A fantastic Hotel. My fiance and I have just returned from a long weekend break, and could not fault this Hotel. The staff were wonderful, very helpful. The standard of the bedrooms were high, and kept very clean. Food in the Restaurant is of a very high quality, and there is alot to choose from. The great thing about this Hotel is, there is a beautiful courtyard to escape to and enjoy the sun and a few drinks. Having stayed in a number of Swindon Hotels, I would have no hesitation in recommending this one as the best. Will... more

I stayed at this hotel for a wedding and did not enjoy the experience one bit. The reception staff were unbelievably rude when we were checking in. The ceiling of our room was covered in mould so we asked to be moved. They very reluctantly moved us (me and my heavily pregnant girlfriend) to another room, which smelled of damp with the hint of vomit. They claimed they were unable to move us again (booked up due to the wedding and large number of American Marines) and refused to give us a second key to the room. Restaurant and bar staff... more

Nice hotel. Very good standard. Good food. Good Staff. BUT No aircon. During the summer, I saw the temp raise to well over 35 degrees in the rooms with no way to cool them down. If this hotel installed aircon, it would be the best hotel in the area. PS Nice in the winter though.

The hotel is just 5 minutes from the M4 on the Western side of Swindon. The hotel is on a leisure / retail park next to a Pizza Hut, Asda Superstore and the local health club. There is also a cinema and Night Club just across the car park. We were very pleased with the location and found it an ideal base for Swindon, Bath, Reading and Winchester. The room was of a high standard and very clean. The staff are efficient and friendly. Room service was also reasonably priced and efficient, we never had to wait more than 15 to 20 minutes.... more

We have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions over the past few years and can only think of one fault, it needs air-conditioning, the rooms can be hot! The Lobby and public areas are lovely and well furnished, nice sofas and bar area, wher ether is a good view of the pool. The leisure facilities are fantastic, the changing rooms are very smart with lovely carpet and private cubicles if you want, the pool and jaquzzi itself are very nice, not big but fashionable design and nice pool loungers to sit in. I have stayed in the standard rooms... more

My partner and I decided to stay in Swinden at the last minute and after calling de vere direct we got a great rate (better than any website) for a saturday night. If you have stayed at any other of the de vere hotels you may be a little dissappointed with the rooms (no aircon or minibar)and general appearance of the hotel but the leisure facilities are quite nice. The problem we had however was that we were woken up at 2.00am, then at 2.15am and then again at 3.00am by some druken fools who thought it would be amusing to wake... more

I've stayed at this hotel 2 or 3 times now and business, and have never been particularly impressed. The hotel is nicely decorated, but thinks too much of itself. The hotal has a pretty much captive market over the particular area that it's in, as such the rates seem to be a bit excessive. The hotel restaurant is pretentious and over-priced, the bar snacks are much better value. If I had the choice, I'd stay somewhere else.
