I visited the bar at The Great Western hotel during some delays to the trains. Reasonable prices for a hotel bar, clean toilets but not much atmosphere. One person at the bar which could be a problem when busier, but he was very pleasant and served quickly. Opposite the train station at Swindon
We all thought what a very lovely place it was. Relaxing and comfortable to have a drink. The gentleman we had serving us at our party on Saturday 13th was exceptional. He served at bar cleared tables and took away rubbish that was about from our buffet. He is a great asset to the Hotel...
Thank you so much for a very enjoyable evening...
Unfortunately I can't comment on any other questions. As we had a private party in there and nobody stayed the night...
We came to listen to the excellent band in the bar that night.
Large bar space, variety of areas to sit. Live train times feed so you can meet your train and max your time for your last pint. Very handy for bus station too.
Absolutely fantastic pub and venue. Went to a 60th birthday party and the whole evening was perfect. The food was excellent and home cooked, curry, chilli, vegetarian, rice and chips to die for. Beautifully clean, both pub and toilets. Lovely outside space which at night has stunning lighting. Would highly recommend for functions as the professional and courteous staff cannot be beaten. Most highly recommended, would give 6 stars. Will post photos on next visit.
Good pub for a drink before or after catching a train. Good drinks selection. Layout and furniture gives a relaxing lounge vibe.
Cracking pint of Staropramen. Great bar that deserves more trade. Thank you!

My first visit to Swindon, travelling from Cardiff to watch TTFC vs Wroughton Football Club at The Weir Fields, as I was bit too early for the game, I popped in ordered a two 3B & chatting with with the barman, before heading off to find where I'm going, one look at Swindon & I love the place already, when Trowbridge are next in Swindon, I'll be back in, see you soon hopefully 👍
Nice hotel, full of architecture and history, some of the lush fittings have been lost to modern styles, but all clean and tidy.
Bedroom's are of a decent size with modern en-suit's. All though a few design issues, no socket for electric toothbrush or shaver, mirror and hairdryer put in a stupid position as well the toilet paper holder. Plus lack of shelves in the bathroom.
Bar area and reception are very clean and modern. Staff are very helpful and polite.
Car parking is charged and isn't controlled by the hotel. Very handy for the train station and an easy walk into the shopping area.
Absolutely wonderful Christmas meal here with the Bats!🎳🦇 Thank you for having us! Such lovely staff, music and food! X
Had a 50th Birthday Party here last night. The staff couldn't do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. Great venue and amenities Would highly recommend it if you're looking for a venue to hire.
