Staff were really accommodating, letting us check in earlier than stated and giving recommendations for local eateries. The pub is spacious and drinks were well-priced. Location is ideal for the County Ground and town centre. Parking was limited but free if staying overnight. Room was really warm and bed was comfortable and clean.
It was noisy until the pub shut, not directly from the floor below but from the revellers on the street outside. Our rooms had a very low ceiling, but not all rooms are like this so would be worth requesting a higher ceiling when booking if you are 6 foot plus. Shower took some working out but plenty of hot water.

Quiet room at top of hotel was great. Weather was warm but got some sleep with window open. Cool shower was ok after a day at BSB. Central location in the old town was great for drinks and restaurants. Hotel also does evening meal which was also ok.. Hair dryer wasn't working but was fixed while we went out for an evening meal.
As we were there for 3 nights maybe a change of towels would have been appreciated. The beds were never made over the 3 nights we stayed. Breakfast was ok apart from poached eggs on brown bread with no butter. Day 1 they came with butter on white bread. Server said he'd forgot our request. I made own toast and had cold eggs. Day 2 butter on brown bread and eggs were boiled not poached. Again made own toast. Day 3 made own toast and poached eggs were brought separately. Eggs were fine. Result! The reason I can't have white bread or butter is due to severe acid reflux problems.

It had an old fashioned charm, which made it quirky. The room was of reasonable size and comfortable enough, wifi was fine. In a nice area of Swindon (a big plus compared to most other hotel options for the town) up in the old town. Beatiful from the outside, and a pretty enough building on the inside too. Near other shops and bars.
The breakfast was not the best. Fairly basic options, and the quality of the sausage and bacon were both obviously cheap. Selection of beer - no real cider options (a surprise for the west country), and all beers were only macrobrewery fayre. Staff were not exactly bad, but not very enthusiastic.

Warm welcome, exceptionally well equipped room, including Nespresso coffee machine, large fluffy towels, high quality toiletries. Nice little welcome pack for the dog. Really clean. Loads of plug sockets including USB, and good, modern lighting. Would definitely stay here again, but maybe go elsewhere for breakfast!
Apart from the gentleman who welcomed us on arrival, (he was excellent), the staff gave the impression visitors were rather a tiresome interruption to their conversations. Breakfast was okay but coffee was cold. £15 supplement for the dog adds quite a lot to tariff.

Location is great! Bed was very comfortable. Easy access through the pub or outside to avoid going in. Although I have pointed out a couple of negatives below, it is a good value for money stay over.
It is noisy when the pub is still open at night You can hear people talking, the hand dryer in the toilets downstairs, the music the pub is playing. Not very sound proof so bare in mind. Breakfast was okay - arrived at 0930 ( it runs till 1000) there was no coffee left, juice was low and no refills even though there was still 30 mins left.

The venue is part of a large public house. However the room was quiet, no. 10, and despite having stairs above the bathroom I was not disturbed. The flatscreen t.v. was of a good size for the room. The bed & pillows most comfortable. A walk-in shower had a good delivery of water, with easy to use controls. The towels were fluffy and large. A capsule coffee machine, kettle and hairdryer completed the experience. The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was first rate. Also dog friendly.
There was a low hum emanating from outside which I masked with the use of ear plugs.

The Goddard Arms is in the middle of the Old Town so convenient for Swindons shops and restaurants. It has a small car park at the rear. My room, a single, was comfortable and I really liked the large shower. The breakfast was decent with plenty of choice. I went for the standard cooked breakfast. The staff were pleasant and helpful and it's somewhere I'd happily use again.
Road noise. My room was at the front of the building facing the road. I had the window open a little but in the summer I think it could be a problem.

The room was perfect, and very comfortable. The bar was lovely, and the staff were all amazing!
The tiniest negative feedback is that the 'house salad' ordered in the bar was minimal, with broccoli and mange tout missing (although mentioned on the menu), and the 'roasted' peppers and tomatoes were raw; but it was ok. When I asked for a second piece of toast for breakfast instead of an egg (to make it vegan), I was informed that this wasn't possible and that one piece of toast would cost me an extra £1.50. Having said that, all the other food we had at the hotel - bar and breakfast service - was excellent.

I love the quietness of the area at night to enable me to sleep well. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were always very friendly and helpful.
Being aware that the main door entrance closes after 11pm and I have to enter my room via an outside staircase. It wasn't too much trouble, but when I was trying to get into my room from the outside staircase I realised that there were 2 staircases outside, after knocking on the backdoor window, where fortunately a lady explained that I needed to go up the other stairs outside to get to my room. So, from my experience before, I thinking that there was only one outside stairway, so I realised that there are currently two outside stairway entrances to access the hotel rooms. I think it is really good that staff are still available to help even if you are outside, knocking on a window.

Could not fault the cleanliness and comfort of the room and bathroom. Liked the good quality toiletries. Nice to have a TV that actually worked! Excellent breakfast. Convenient location for nearby restaurants. I obtained our rooms at a budget rate which was a bonus.
View from the window (huge industrial ducting) Loud noise from the street until the early hours significantly affected my sleep Despite the same room rate I only had a kettle in my room but my brother had a coffee machine in his. Felt a bit cheated!
