The Goddard Arms is a reversal of the usual hotel set-up. Normally you come into a beautiful lobby and then end up in a cramped and ugly room. Here the entrance looks shabby, but my room was spacious, well-furnished and clean. Breakfast was fine, and the staff were helpful and pleasant. It is well located in the much-maligned town of... more

We booked a non-smoking room through the hotel's own corporate website, and yet when we arrived, they claimed to have no record of our reservation despite the printout of the confirmation email we produced.

I had booked rooms for 10 of us. The rooms were a good size and clean. In spite of the room information saying that the TV had a few channels extra to the usual terrestrial ones, ours only had BBC 1,2, ITV1 and Channel 4. The worst problem was the lack of hot water - there was only enough for... more

My partner and I were in Swindon for a wedding and chose the hotel on the internet. The room rate was fine, the room secluded in an annexe. There was an unusual pay at check in procedure which was a little strange. Staff were on the whole helpful, the only problem we had with it was the fact that we... more
