I stayed here for three nights on business and would not recommend it to my worst enemy. The room was dirty, the bin hadn't been emptied from the previous occupant, there were strange stains on the walls, the bathroom was mouldy, all the ceilings were cracked but the worst thing was the noise. The hotel is being refurbished, and about... more

Quite an average hotel. Had business in swindon, stayed for one night. Extremely nice and helpful girl on reception. Left a motorcycle on the parking nearby, for free, but looked extremely suspicious and expected unexpected results when come back, but apparently the bike was fine. On check in the price in the bill was different from one on the booking... more

I stayed at the Menzies on business last night. I was on my own - a female 6 months pregnant. The website looked fine and ticked all my requirements - including car park. When I arrived at the hotel just gone 20.00, I couldn't see the car park so phoned and was told to park in the NCP multi storey... more

We stayed here for one night on the 1st December and after reading the reviews I was a bit worried. Yes the rooms are small but they have everything you need and are clean. There is a bit of mildew on the bathroom celing but as there is no window I presume this will be a problem. The sheets were... more

I stay in many hotels all around europe and this is the worst 1 I have ever stayed in!!! First of all they cocked up our reservation, and we had no rooms, but managed luckily to get the last couple of rooms remining. The rooms are unbeliveably small, and very dated. Our T.V didnt work for a start, and the... more

Firstly, don't try the online booking system, we booked three double rooms well in advance and were given ref numbers on line. When we arrived they had no record of our bookings at all and told us this happens all the time with their website. Luckily, we managed to still get three doubles even though they had a wedding and... more

Stayed here for 2 nights on a business trip to Swindon. This hotel is old and in need of some attention. On arrival I was given the card to access my room, I got to the room to find that the key wouldn't work. I returned to reception and they marched me back up to my room as if I... more

Ok, first things first: I didn't actually stay at the Menzies Swindon. I wanted to. My PA even booked a room there for a two-night business trip. Armed with a print-out of the booking confirmation, I marched into the hotel last week, looking forward to a good night's sleep... but the receptionist (who hardly spoke any English!) couldn't find my... more

I've stayed in hotels of varying grades all over the world, including Africa, and I can honestly say this is the WORST I've ever been in. I cancelled my stay after one night. The reception staff are the most ignorant, rude, apathetic bunch I've come across, the whole place should be condemned for its filthy condition, and I was too... more

I agree with other reviews. This is a very tired hotel needing some TLC. I too experienced the grubby curtains and the stains on the bathroom ceiling. I also experienced paper towels lodged in the woodwork next to the radiator to stop some ancient leak. The rooms are very warm despite the fan. The windows do partially open, but this... more
