Stumbled upon the Swan by chance whilst looking for a nice hotel within reasonable driving distance of Alton Towers. Arrived at just gone five on Friday and was promptly checked in by a member of staff who was more than helpful in regards to hotel information (car park, breakfast times, ect). Our room was classed as a heritage room and... More

First class hotel. Only problem was noisy guests from a wedding group late at night. Staff very professional and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. More

I recently stayed here on a Sunday night with my gf and was very pleased with the standard of the hotel and quality of the service. Initially we had planned to go to Stafford museum ( almost next door) and then onto "Bear Grill" for dinner, however I hadn't accounted for these both being closed on a Sunday. Instead we... More

I stayed here for two nights for a friend's wedding and absolutely loved it! Clean rooms, friendly helpful and professional staff, great breakfasts, I'd definitely stay again if I'm in Stafford. More

I regularly use the swan and have done for many years now for meals and drinks. They have a brilliant menu and choice of drinks and cocktails and it is a lovely place to go in the day time for a snack and a lovely cup of coffee (and also to use the WiFi) We have only stayed there once,... More

I stayed here (on business) for one night. My room was very clean and comfortable. Receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful. Evening meal in the restaurant was also very good. I travel a lot for work and rarely feel "at home" in hotels, but i felt at home here. More

I do a lot of travelling and have stayed in a lot of places but I don't like to rate everywhere as I dont' think it's often deserved either positively or negatively but this one I had to make comment on. The service was tremendous, especially at breakfast though I have to say from beginning to end they were faultless,... More
