Booked this hotel at reasonable rate through their own website as stop-over point for family reunion. As other people have pointed out, parking is a disadvantage. There is an empty space on floor level of building for rent, why not use this for at least some secure parking? The entrance was most strange. Had to use intercom system to initially... more

This hotel doesn't pretend to be anything other than basic and arriving with low expectations, was pleasantly surprised. The biggest downside was getting there and the parking situation. Without sat nav I don't think I'd have found it and was concerned about fact you have to park in a nearby multi-storey and walk through Swindon centre to reach hotel. I... more

Stayed in the Holiday Inn express with colleagues after a disappointing stay in the Thistle hotel nearby. This is a newly built hotel which is in a great location right in the centre of Swindon and near the the train station. Its a Holiday Inn Express so you would expect the rooms to be basic. To be honest they were... more

Stayed there a few nights ago at a discounted, negotiated rate of £65. Full continental thrown in for this too. Very central location for shops and close to train station. Room was clean and comfortable and nice and cosy warm. Internet access (although I didnt use it for 5p) So if you are a surfer then this is cheap as... more

Great location for city centre and train station. This is a clean, newly decorated, very well designed, comfortable and Cheap hotel. Can't recommend it enough. Staff were very quick and efficient. If only more UK hotels were as good as this one! more

I'd seen other reviews of this hotel which said the rooms were okay, but there was no restaurant and it was in a dodgy area so it was with some trepidation that I said yes when my company booked me in this hotel as my "regular" was fully booked. However, once I'd found the entrance (having walked virtually all round... more

Fantastic hotel with a new restaurant serving great food (room service is free). 5p for 24 hour Internet access. Modern rooms with funky TV/CD/DVD/WEB box. Friendly and professional staff - even the night crew! Excellent location - right in town. I have tried many of the hotels in Swindon and I have settled at the HI City Centre - so... more

So its not a luxury hotel, but then you wouldnt need anything as such when staying in Swindon. Nicely located away from M4, walking distance from the main railway station (5mins walk), and very modern building that can be seen as you exit the station. As a PriorityClub member - the InterContinental Hotels Group loyality scheme - i was able... more

I stayed here on business. If you're staying for more than one night then stay somewhere else. It's clean, good value for money etc etc but it has no soul. Location Right in the centre of new town, near train station. Also next to the 'nightlife' of new town. Great if you're going out, not so good if you're a... more
