Across reviews, The Kings Arms Hotel is praised for its friendly staff, central Malmesbury location, and comfortable rooms—especially the quiet stables/annex—while notes of tight parking access, occasional noise from rooms above the pub, and the lack of on-site breakfast recur.
Several guests enjoyed the bar, beer garden or terrace with countryside views. Room size varies from small to spacious, and some found ground level access convenient. Expect a characterful coaching inn stay in a walkable town, best for travellers who value friendly service and a lively pub with outdoor space.

Facilities
Bar and rear terrace or beer garden are popular, with pleasant countryside views. On-site parking is available but the entrance is very narrow, which can be challenging for larger vehicles.

Stayed in the annexe of the pub which dates back to 1640. Malmesbury is an historic town. Lovely beer garden with views of the hills. Good dinner in the evening too. Quite an expensive room and would expect breakfast for that which they don’t do.

Iliked the positioning of the bedrooms, also their decor. The staff were friendly, the Tapas evening meal was tasty and delivered with good service. The entrance to the car park at the back of the hotel was quite narrow, but doable, rewarded by the splendid view from the terrace. Everting we wanted to see was within easy walking distance.

This was a lovely ancient coaching inn, and we were staying in the converted stables. Very tight to get through the arch into the carpark if you have a wide car. Although there was no garden with a great view over the countryside

Rooms 1,2 & 3 while having pleasant views of the High St, are over the hotel bar. One night of our stay, the merriment went on till a little after midnight. Parking is available, however, with an SUV, the side mirrors had to be parked, in order to get through the carriage way access, to the parking area and this with just about 2" to spare, on either side! Did it just the once!!! High street parking is free 6pm - 8pm, if you can find a spot.

We enjoyed our stay, in the main building above the pub. The entrance to the car park is tight, but plenty of space when you reach it. There is a pub garden at the back, with a decent west-facing view. Our room was fine and cost as described. We had a good nights sleep. Room did everything expected of it. Bar downstairs is a nice place to have a drink. Top location, right in the centre of Malmesbury.

Pleasant good sized room with ensuite and comfy bed. Downstairs the bar area looked welcoming and seemed very popular. Staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately they didn't serve breakfast but the Summer Cafe across the road was excellent. The hotel is located in the middle of Malmesbury so well positioned for exploring this delightful little town. It was also convenient for us to visit family who lived locally.

We stayed for 1 night in an annex room (the stables). If you stay in the pub, you might have noise, but the annex was quiet and it was a Friday night! The room is very close to the beer garden and has an amazing view (closes at 10pm). Parking is in the rear next to the annex rooms. It's a tight squeeze between the buildings if you have a large car! The room was small, but adequate for a 1 night stay. Amazing bakery next door for your breakfast! Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Gorgeous old coachingi inn in Malmesbury. We arrived nearly 2 hours early but no issues, a room was available. And I must lovely service from the lady at reception. We stayed in the old stables so room out back which was super quiet, very comfortable and good size. Nespresso in the room and they happened to have my favourite capsules "Cape Town Enviro". One suggestion would be to only have bathtowels, eapecially for overnight visitors Id suggest two towels each not needed. Lovely stay.

Comfortable, cosy, stylishly furnished bedroom and en-suite. A little noisy until after last orders but a very friendly crowd. No breakfast but an excellent coffee shop/cafe just a few metres up the street. Narrow access to the parking but can still get a wide car through carefully, and plenty of space on the street.

The Kings Arms Coaching Inn is a rather quirky place to stay, partly updated and partly still a bit oldy worldly. It has a very friendly atmosphere and staff and we enjoyed our 6 night stay very much. We used it as our base for walks in the country side, visiting family and a trip to Bath. The food is good too, and we were also impressed by the local Italian style restaurants, especially Aroma.

Good clean hotel rooms above pub. No food service was available, and room was what we expected as we had lived an traveled in in previously, so rating reflects that, not everyone would agree though

The Kings Arms Coaching Inn is a rather quirky place to stay, partly updated and partly still a bit oldy worldly. It has a very friendly atmosphere and staff and we enjoyed our 6 night stay very much. We used it as our base for walks in the country side, visiting family and a trip to Bath. The food is good too, and we were also impressed by the local Italian style restaurants, especially Aroma.

Pleasant good sized room with ensuite and comfy bed. Downstairs the bar area looked welcoming and seemed very popular. Staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately they didn't serve breakfast but the Summer Cafe across the road was excellent. The hotel is located in the middle of Malmesbury so well positioned for exploring this delightful little town. It was also convenient for us to visit family who lived locally.

We stayed for 1 night in an annex room (the stables). If you stay in the pub, you might have noise, but the annex was quiet and it was a Friday night! The room is very close to the beer garden and has an amazing view (closes at 10pm). Parking is in the rear next to the annex rooms. It's a tight squeeze between the buildings if you have a large car! The room was small, but adequate for a 1 night stay. Amazing bakery next door for your breakfast! Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Hosts were very helpful and friendly. It is in the heart of town where everything is within walking distance. The pub offered good fare.

The location was perfect for all shops,pubs etc. Most of staff attentive and friendly. Our room was not as clean as it could have been but not terrible. There is plenty if parking but entrance is narrow if you have a larger vehicle. Bar area was family friendly with games provided and always seemed busy
