positive:
Award winning food makes for memorable meals.
The onsite dining option is listed as a gastro pub, but guests who have a meal here will see why the food is award winning. Seasonal produce is combined with real ales and a relaxed atmosphere to create a great hotel dining experience.
positive:
The staff provides an overall great service.
For travellers looking to experience personal service that can’t be found at a chain hotel the Swan Hotel is a great fit. Each member of the staff is attentive and very helpful, and several of the employees have been noted by reviewers to have a great sense of humour which makes for a charming addition to stays.
positive:
Located in an ideal spot for a stopover.
Located just off the M4/M5 interchange, the Swan Hotel is in a convenient spot for travellers looking for a quick rest while exploring the nearby cities of Bath and Bristol.
Negative Reviews
negative:
More soundproofing is needed throughout the hotel.
Double glazing on the windows and insulation between the floors should be priorities for the owners of this hotel. Located on a busy road, traffic noise can create issues for some guests. Other guests who are unfortunate enough to have a ground floor room will have to contend with creaky floorboards that cause feelings of staying under a herd of elephants.
negative:
Guestrooms could benefit from a refurbishment.
Several of the reviews focus on how tired and worn out the Swan Hotel feels. This is especially true of the guestrooms. Investing in some new furniture and freshening up the decor could go a long way toward making greater impressions.
negative:
Hotel is not living up to its potential.
Overall the impression this hotel gives to visitors is that it is a quaint little accommodation, but given its convenient location there can be more done to promote it and make it into a high class hotel.
