Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Swindon
For most travelers heading to Swindon, Heathrow Airport (LHR) is the most practical entry point, as it sits significantly closer to the destination than the other London-based hubs and offers the most efficient train and bus connections. While London Gatwick Airport (LGW) and London Luton Airport (LTN) also handle heavy international traffic, they add substantial travel time due to their southern and northern locations relative to the M4 corridor. London Stansted Airport (STN) and London City Airport (LCY) are generally least convenient for reaching Swindon, as they often require complex transfers through central London. Please note that none of these facilities are located in Swindon itself; they are all located in neighboring cities or regions, and travelers should account for substantial ground transport time when booking. For a balance of speed and comfort, the train is recommended, while budget-conscious travelers should prioritize the National Express coach network, which provides direct links from most major hubs to Swindon city center.

I booked this hotel because they had air-conditioning and with the excelled. The bathroom did not look properly cleaned, especially the bad tub and we had to have our bedsheets changed because they had markings and they duvet had a red stain. Breakfast was terrible and definitely not worth the £16 per person you would pay otherwise. There was a lot of variety, especially if you are vegetarian and the other thing is that the breakfast area was very small. They had a large group tour of guests in this particular setting and day it was Italian guests and it was just chaotic. Stuff are friendly.FromUS$67

A Comfortable Stay with a Few Surprises
As one of Marriott’s brands, I expected a little more, but overall, the hotel delivers the essentials for a pleasant stay. The rooms are very spacious, with two double beds—perfect for a family holiday. The indoor pool and the gym is a nice touch, though it’s worth noting that external guests can also use it.
Things to keep in mind:
Parking – There’s a £7.50 per night charge, which feels a bit steep. The website mentions free parking for conference delegates, so it might be worth asking at check-in.
Holding Charge – A £50 pre-authorisation is applied to your card. While common in some places, many UK chains no longer do this, so plan ahead if your card balance is tight.
TV Experience – The TV system could use an upgrade. Menu and guide functions weren’t available, and picture quality was poor—even on HD channels.
Room Details – The room was spotless, but we noticed condensation on the windows and a slight odd smell on arrival. Nothing major, but worth mentioning.
Overall:
The hotel offers the comfort and space you’d expect from a reputable brand, but a few details—like parking, the TV system, and the holding charge—felt out of step with Marriott’s usual high standards. Still, if you’re looking for a clean, spacious room and good facilities, it’s a solid choice.FromUS$95

The hotel is located on a business park with few shos or other local amenities for visitors. The staff were courteous and attentive. Although clean and reasonably comfortable, my room needed some renovation, especially in the bathroom where the floor looked old and stained, and the cabinet under the basin needed repair. I was on a tight schedule and did not stay for breakfast.Very Good85 Reviews

The breakfast was basic and always the same, convenient but very simple.
The staff were always lovely.
Location-wise, it's convenient for the Cotswolds, but only if you have a car.
The hotel itself is simple, old but well-maintained and clean.FromUS$60

ALCON,
I was very happy with my stay, during check- in staff was very friendly and answered all my questions. The room was very clean and nice only small problem is that rooms are not set up for the powering up of cell-phones, Recommend the desk provide attachments so that tourist can keep there phones powered up. During my 12 days stayed at four other similiar locations, your facility was the only one without adapters for cell phone charge.
Your food downstairs was great especially enjoyed the fish and chips. All in all a great stay I will DE finitely be returning very much enjoyed my stay with you,FromUS$73

This property is in the heart of downtown Swindon. A Salvation Army shares the building so there were always people hangin out in front. Never felt unsafe, just a bit seedy. Great location in the heart of downtown. Easy to walk to shopping and restaurants. Room was clean and did the job. Can't really complain for the price.FromUS$46

I was originally heading to Bristol, but feeling a bit tired mid-journey, I decided to stop and rest at this hotel in town.
Compared to a typical Holiday Inn Express, the facilities here are a bit more basic, and the breakfast selection is more limited.
On-site parking is quite restricted; I had to park my car in a public lot a block away. (It’s actually not far at all—only about a 100-meter walk.)FromUS$59

What an absolute amazing find. The setting was so beautiful and the room was outstanding and so much nicer than we could have ever imagined. The free standing bath was our favourite, the bed was very comfortable and the settee area was very nice. The staff were very understanding of my sons disability and were very patient and kind. The breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. One of the nicest places we have ever stayed and cannot wait to return. Could have easily stayed there for daysFromUS$70

The exterior and common ground are clean and well maintained. The 2 rooms we stayed on reminded me of my student dorm during university days. Guess different portion of the house has different standard room. Rooms are definitely outdated, and the carpet needs cleaning, It does smell damp. Overall, it is reasonably good.FromUS$73

The hotel was well located as we visited friends in nearby Wootton Basset - reception was courteous and efficient in our check in… we asked for a room way from the lifts and this request was delivered.
The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Air conditioning worked perfectly given it’s been a very hot few days!
Breakfast the following morning had plenty choices and tables were clean and cleared up quickly. Staff in restaurant were very efficient and courteous. Express check- in was good too. Overall a great stay and serves us well.FromUS$66

There was a double booking on our booked apartment but the customer service offered us another similar property which was cozy and clean. The beds were comfy, the bathroom was big and clean. We had a good night sleep in a stormy weather outside. Location was central. There was £100 online payment of deposit before sharing the self-check details, which has not been returned yet. I hope, it will be resolved soon.FromUS$91
