the kingsbury 7even / 8ight

Easy, hassle-free check in, excellent location - very close to lots of places to eat as well as the shops. A comfortable stay.

Major problem was parking although after driving around found a place quarter mile away no charge.

A lovely accommodation with loads of character and so close to the centre of town. Our room had one of the best showers I've ever had the pleasure of standing under. There was a small problem with the wifi in the room but this was sorted after a quick phone call. For sure, parking can be an issue but with a bit of patience you'll find a space nearby. All in all, it made a nice change from the standard hotel.

The keypad check in was great. Parking was tricky, as was carrying in our luggage as we were on the first floor and could only park outside for the luggage drop off. I think the in room breakfast needs rethinking. We didn’t enjoy the kilner jar of tinned fruit or the overnight oats and went out for breakfast instead on the second day. Loved the character of the property and the decor of the room but the sash window would not open so we were rather too hot. I would stay again as it was a very convenient location. Ran out of ordinary teabags, messaged the owner/manager but it took hours before I got a reply which was disappointing.

This is not a hotel, it’s a self service room with no staff. My room was very damp, the bathroom has no ventilation or extraction so smelled bad. It was difficult to get the key pad to work and there were no light switches. The electrical supply to the room was switched in via two main switches above the door. The front of the property was very unkempt and unappealing. Breakfast was left in the room. There is no parking. The bed was comfortable but small. More specific information needs to be provided and a more fair and reasonable description of the room and services.

Good location in Marlborough. It was a virtual check-in service and very efficient. Bed was quite firm so personally would have a preferred something a bit softer. Breakfast is served in the room and is waiting for you on arrival

I arrived late and could enter the hotel using the detailed instructions. Lovely room and breakfast provided in the fridge.

I stayed in room #4 - on the top floor. It's quite quirky, but very charming. Everything was clean and tidy and excellent facilities. Be warned that it is a very old building with a slanted roof and slanting floors, but this is part of the appeal. The breakfast supplied in the room was excellent; high quality and lots of choice. The only drawbacks were the outside automatic (number keypad) lock was a bit finickity and took several tries to actually get in. Also, room #4 has a weird gap at the top of the door into the room (this is due to the slanted roof). It just made me a little uncomfortable.

A lovely short stay in Marlborough. Lovely coffee and continental breakfast. Close to town centre. Only drawback, no off street parking.

Great location- stupidly I didn’t realise bathroom was separate and breakfast was in room but we still had a lovely time. Great places to eat nearby- Left plugs in the room and the owners have offered to send them to us- It was a bit weird that the entire place was unmanned but I was worrying about tue parking and the owners did reply to my text which made me feel contained.

Damp musty smelling room, poorly maintained bathroom area non fitting doors bath looked like second hand with cracked enamel and rusty waste unfinished waste pipe in floor, shower area badly draining causing whole area to flood using dull lighting to try and hide defects and lack of cleanliness. Breakfast left in room meant to be continental don’t considered cake no pastries and no yogurt just mainly everything oats a continental breakfast. As a side to this when is a couple staying one of everything is not exactly providing two breakfast. As this is a basement room no available heating even though summer also a problem. This was not their cheapest room and was supposed to be of better standard not just a utilitarian room.

Absolutely disaster! Arrived to find room in a basement with no view out of window, or fresh air. The door to our room was a garden gate with massive gaps. Had to use coats to seal light & noise. Half spot lights didn't work in ceiling. Blind wouldn’t pull but was probably a good thing as so many cobwebs outside window was like a horror movie. Had shower on arrival that flooded whole bathroom. When rang to advise housekeeping told happens if you use shower on full. Half lighting in bathroom didn’t work either probably due to flooding in past. Bath mats replaced so slippery my husband went flying and grazed all of leg. Checked out first thing next morning as room felt damp and it was hard to breathe. No offer of refund for second night. Would not recommend at all unfortunately.

The place was very simple and easy to find, the key/cardless check in was great, directions to the room were also good. The room itself was very nice and looked the exact same as the photos online. However I would just like to highlight a few points that I was not very happy with. The cleanliness of the bathroom area was not up to a great standard. There were a few hairs in the bathtub, discoloured limescale surrounding the bottom of the tub, alongside a tap that would not stop dripping throughout our stay. I did also notice multiple cobwebs within arms reach, there was a very musky/damp smell in the room in general. Even with the over powering plug in freshener. Of course as it is a basement room it is expected. Although as a professional cleaner I do openly look at these things, I do understand some standards are out of some control however with these it was hard for me to not notice. The towels and bedding were clean, and the fridge was well stocked with items which were useful. The bed itself was comfortable however sleeping was hard, the door to the room let in a lot of light around the edges from the hall, to the point we had to use our own items to block the light out in order to sleep in the dark. I would return here but I would not book this room again due to the cleanliness and smell. Overall the place was well presented and well decorated.

Check in instructions very good, excellent presentation of room.

Fantastic for the price. Clean, well maintained and organised. No cooked breakfast but in the room was a fridge with fresh fruit salad, superb fresh yogurt with fruit and granola all in pre prepared portions, fresh milk and orange juice. Will use again,

Great instructions and easy access into the property. Room was very clean. Continental breakfast arrangements were perfect. Great set up. Will recommend and use again.

Excellent clean room

The room was very comfortable but the big problem was the shower, the water took ages to drain so had to turn on and off so not to flood the bathroom, plus the thermostat on the shower didn’t work and only piping hot water came out.

We stayed 1 nite in room 7 lovely room and amazing shower room which is an old vault only downside is it does flood the whole area but was worth it bed was comfortable it doesn’t have phone network so be prepared to use there free WiFi also doesn’t have normal tv channels you have to sign into Netflix luckily we have Netflix so was easy to do wat really impressed us was def the shower area in room 7 it was awesome we will def return to room 7 if in Swindon :)

The room was changed last minute to a smaller room adjacent to a main road very noisy and freezing cold. Windows where very drafty and heating woukdnt increase. I paid more for luxury room and got the worst night sleep iv had for a Long time.

This is a wonderful and quirky boutique hotel. We stayed in room 1 in no. 7 with the bath. The room was clean and spacious. We loved the addition of the bath, which is so deep that it was very easy to use without causing a mess (as someone complained about before). Breakfast was refreshed every day and consisted of oats, fruit, cereals and cakes. We found a parking spot a few minutes walk away for the first 2 nights and a 10 minute walk away on the 3rd night so this was a non-issue. We liked the independence of having no reception and no formal check-in. I would thoroughly recommend this unique hotel and would return in a heartbeat!

Overall very good. One side of the mattress has a dip. Needs looking at.

Quirky and Quiet. Loved our stay here. Fabulous room 4. Not a straight surface in the place and it was fantastic. Great location. Super comfy bed. Lovely touches for breakfast and in room amenities. Would happily stay again.

Great location in the heart of Marlborough. No on-site parking but we got there late enough there was street parking. Thought our room was en-suite but bathroom was next door but private for our use only. Lucky they supplied robes. Breakfast was generous but could have used another chair and maybe a tv tray. Very comfortable and secure.

It was so lovely here, the bath was luxurious, the massive bed comfy and the decor so cool and just a perfect setting for us. We will definitely book again. Thank you 🙏

Highly recommend room1 with the fantastic gold slipper bath. Huge bed and fabulous bathroom.

Beautiful room, spacious and decorated with great decor. Only downside was the heat it was unbearably hot and one window was broken and could not be opened - fortunately the owner had put in a ventilator

Gorgeous property but be aware that it is on a busy, noisy road and there is no Double glazing.

Easy, hassle-free check in, excellent location - very close to lots of places to eat as well as the shops. A comfortable stay.

Lovely hotel close to the town centre. This was an interesting concept with no reception or kitchen but it actually worked very smoothly. The communication throughout was excellent with easy to follow instructions. The room was great and the breakfast perfectly acceptable.

Our second stay in this lovely b and b. The check in instructions are clear and simple, and as soon as you open the front door you are met with a warm, cosy atmosphere. All the rooms are different but equally beautiful, well furnished and comfortable. We stayed in number 4 this time, which was upstairs, overlooking Kingsbury Street. The breakfast was delicious and items were restocked every day. It was so nice to have a full bottle of milk instead of fiddly little packets that always run out. I would definitely recommend a stay here if you are visiting Marlborough.

The keypad check in was great. Parking was tricky, as was carrying in our luggage as we were on the first floor and could only park outside for the luggage drop off. I think the in room breakfast needs rethinking. We didn’t enjoy the kilner jar of tinned fruit or the overnight oats and went out for breakfast instead on the second day.

Overall we had a lovely stay. The location cannot be beaten and is just around the corner from the market square. Parking is not so convenient and we did park about 5 minutes walk away and had to pay but it is a reasonable price. The bed was comfortable. We had an issue with the coffee machine which was quickly sorted via text as there are no staff members present on the property. We knew about this before arriving. There was a strange smell which at times could be over powering, like a sewage/ drainy smell. For this reason we would choose a different room to stay in if we visited again. The continental style breakfast is great but I would have liked some savoury content as I found the offer very sweet.

Check in instructions very good, excellent presentation of room.

This hotel is the Mary Poppins of hotels. Practically perfect in every way! Beautifully styled, everything you need in the room. Super comfortable bed. Lovely toiletries. Proper hairdryer not one attached to the wall! Generous continental breakfast left in the room. A great place for a night or two. You let yourself in with a code so you don’t see anyone. However, quick response to messages on the phone.

Easy, hassle-free check in, excellent location - very close to lots of places to eat as well as the shops. A comfortable stay.

We found the Kingsbury to be quiet comfortable and very convenient for all of the bars and shopping in Marlborough.

The room was really comfortable with a massive cosy bed, big roll top bath, tea and coffee. My partner and I stayed for two nights over New Years and had a wonderful time. Just round the corner from the high street so cery convenient. We wanted a quiet and relaxing stay and thats what we got.

Great location close to the High Street. The room was lovely, as was the continental breakfast.

We had a great experience staying in room 1, at number 8. The property is ideally located for visiting Marlborough, being 1 minute's walk from the high street and numerous restaurants. Self check in was simple and very convenient. The room itself was wonderful. Very cosy and well furnished, with a comfortable bed and excellent shower. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with all items being replenished each day. We much preferred staying here to our usual hotel and hope to return very soon.

A lovely short stay in Marlborough. Lovely coffee and continental breakfast. Close to town centre. Only drawback, no off street parking.

Good value and in the perfect location, very much enjoyed our stay.

Great location just off the high street. Lovely room with great character.

Amazing room, great location in the centre of Marlborough. Price was also extremely competitive, would recommend staying here. 10/10

Gorgeous property but be aware that it is on a busy, noisy road and there is no Double glazing.

Querky and nice..not perfect as milk was off in the fridge and parking really isnt ideal anywhere nearby

Excellent location, comfortable room and superb breakfast (huge selection of continental items in the room)!

Lovely room, bit of confusion with check in, but once read a couple of times we found the entrance, so my fault. A great selection for breakfast, but the milk was off! So when it came to the rest of the selection in the fridge we didn’t try it which was such a shame apart from the orange juice which was ok.

The breakfast was great
