This hotel must solely exist for business conferences. It lacks any character and has just the barest of amenities to get by. When you don't even have tissues in the loos, you know they're really cutting it close on finances. I personally resent a property charging me £4.50 for a pint of lager -- what a rip-off. The food, well... More

I've statyed here a few times and it is always a good experience. The staff are extremely poilte and helpful and although it is very much a business venue it has a warm and friendly atmosphere. It has a pretty good gym and swimming pool, a good restaraunt for both dinner and breakfast plus excellent conference facilities. The rooms are... More

This is our second visit to Alexandra House and, once again, our stay was perfect. The hotel is set in its own grounds and very peaceful. I am glad it's off the beaten track, this is definitely a bonus as there is no traffic noise from busy roads as you get in so many hotels. It's modern, clean and spacious... More

Looking for a business hotel in the Swindon area then this is the one. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, free parking (yes that's for you Marriott and Hilton), free wifi in the rooms (again for you) - relaxed restaurant with a Maitre D who cares about the food and asks for suggestions, clean pleasant rooms and comfortable beds. Not really one... More

We celebrated my wife's 60th birthday here with our close family. We had 4 very comfortable rooms and the staff from the Manager Andrew Boyd down could not have been more helpful. Beautiful grounds, quiet location, great food and an immaculately clean leisure complex. Highly recommended. More

Stayed here on a 4 day residential course. My room was nice and spacious and the food was lovely. Great choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner - no risk of going hungry. Our waiter was a lovely young lad and couldn't do enough to help. They also have nice coffee areas with cakes and biscuits available throughout the day. The... More

Hotel new and very clean, Decore very nice. Location useless, too far from anywhere. Evening meal very poor and not worth the money. Ordered the Lamb shoulder, received 2 slices of tough Lamb with small amount of mash and 1 other veg £15. Drinks are extortionate, cheapest glass of wine in the bar £6.50. I don't mind paying for quality... More

I stayed here when in the area for a wedding. This place is very difficult to find, the directions led us through an estate with a complete lack of signage for the hotel which was very annoying. When we arrived at about 11am there was an unsightly amount of cigarette butts and empty bottles outside the main reception entrance. The... More
