At ibis budget Swindon, reviewers repeatedly highlight a central, handy location near the train station, generally clean, basic rooms with comfortable beds, and a breakfast that ranges from plentiful and tasty to poorly replenished with limited choices and uncleared tables.
Staff are often described as friendly and welcoming, though a few guests reported rude interactions or understaffing at busy breakfast times. Parking is a recurring pain point, with limited on-site spaces and confusing or inconvenient nearby options, although some guests used discounted arrangements with the station car park. Expect a no-frills, centrally located stay with basic comforts.

The bed was comfy (personal preference) but the room had a smell that didn’t leave even though I left the window open during day 2 of my stay. I had to ask reception for an air freshener. Good parking offered with discounted rates

Rather bare-bones accommodation as expected. Very nice bar and breakfast area, room was clean with decent compact bathroom. Let down by stained seat in room, which I didn’t want to go near. How the cleaners could let that go, I don’t know. Disappointed this cost me over one hundred pounds mid-week.

The only let down to this location is the issue with parking. The hotel parking was full, the suggested nearby car park was not processing Apple Pay and there were no machines for manual payment. I had to abandon the car on the street (very few spaces as all resident bays until 11pm) and hope for the best so I arrived tired, very hot and bothered and quite grumpy. Receptionist was so friendly however that I soon found myself smiling and on arriving in the room the ac had been set to full (we are in a heatwave) so I immediately cooled down. The shower was nice and powerful and bathroom very clean. The room is basic but clean, comfortable and most importantly cool (did I mention the heatwave!) so I had a great nights sleep. It’s fine for one person but might feel a bit snug for 2 as the window was covered and sealed so you felt like you were in a sort of ‘pod’. There is no desk or separate working area so you have to spread out on the bed, which again, perfectly fine for one person overnight. Lots of plugs and usb points available. The included breakfast was plentiful and good quality. There is no kettle in the room so the fact that breakfast starts from 6.30 even on a Sunday was appreciated.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Mahesh on reception was extremely rude on arrival. I had questions regarding why the charge for parking was not mentioned on the booking. he told me "yeah yeah, you must pay for it now, or just leave". When I asked if there was a cheaper option for parking he told me no. However this chat says there is an agreement with Sheppard Street Car Park. Mahesh made it sound like if I didn't park in the corner of your carpark on hatched yellow lines, then I wouldn't be able to stay. After being rude to me, I asked him to write his name on the card that the room key is in, he really didn't like this at all. He pointed to the lift and told me "on the first floor". No directions, no verbal communication of my room number. Just absolute rudeness and dismissal of me. Another customer was waiting for him to sort something out, and she just stood there shaking head saying she wished she could stay somewhere else tonight. Mahesh is clearly making customers feel awkward, unwanted, and as if we do not matter at all. I will never stay at an Ibis again, because of this experience.

A good budget option, but the parking options were woeful. I drove around for far too long trying to find somewhere to park that was open 24 hours. The hotel’s parking only catered for an handful of cars. Eventually found that there was parking at the station, though the signs outside this car park were confusing.

The room was smelly, no table or anything to keep your stuff on, simply just a bed in the room. Main thing, when I went for breakfast at 9:30am, there was no bread left at all and the lady handling the area was like it’ll take 20-30 minutes in the oven and asked if I wanted her to do that? I said no out of embarrassment. Then there were no glasses for the juice or mugs for the coffee, basically no breakfast.

I made a request to have a good view from my room, however, the room was overlooking the roof of the Holiday Inn which is attached to this hotel. This made me upset. The breakfast was plain and boring. There were hardly any good options except the basics. It was quite disappointing. I didn't even bother having any so I went into town instead to eat. No table, only a chair in the corner was provided in the room. I had to make my bed as a desk. The floor was not cleaned properly and there was dust and crumbs left over from previous stays. I made this hotel as a base so I can venture out to do day trips. Don't make this hotel a place to stay for most of your trip. I recommend finding another hotel instead. But, if you are someone like me that just wanted a place to sleep for the night, then it's alright. At least the stay was mostly quiet and having A/C was nice.

I had questions regarding why the charge for parking was not mentioned on the booking. he told me "yeah yeah, you must pay for it now, or just leave". When I asked if there was a cheaper option for parking he told me no. However this chat says there is an agreement with Sheppard Street Car Park. Mahesh made it sound like if I didn't park in the corner of your carpark on hatched yellow lines, then I wouldn't be able to stay. After being rude to me, I asked him to write his name on the card that the room key is in, he really didn't like this at all. He pointed to the lift and told me "on the first floor". No directions, no verbal communication of my room number. Just absolute rudeness and dismissal of me. Another customer was waiting for him to sort something out, and she just stood there shaking head saying she wished she could stay somewhere else tonight. Mahesh is clearly making customers feel awkward, unwanted, and as if we do not matter at all. I will never stay at an Ibis again, because of this experience.

Perfectly located hotel at edge of Swindon shopping area a few minutes walk from the train and coach station. Nicely designed room (with plug sockets next to the bed and mirror!). And breakfast included for a great price.

Overall a very pleasant experience. The room is cosy, not very big, but adequate for a nights rest. Nothing negative, but with it being town centre, the surrounding area is a bit hit and miss.

It was clean and efficient. No tea and coffee or table in room. Very comfortable bed. Decent shower room. Room only big enough for one person really. Good price, will stay again. Breakfast needed some eggs and tomatoes.

I made a request to have a good view from my room, however, the room was overlooking the roof of the Holiday Inn which is attached to this hotel. This made me upset. The breakfast was plain and boring. There were hardly any good options except the basics. It was quite disappointing. I didn't even bother having any so I went into town instead to eat. No table, only a chair in the corner was provided in the room. I had to make my bed as a desk. The floor was not cleaned properly and there was dust and crumbs left over from previous stays. I made this hotel as a base so I can venture out to do day trips. Don't make this hotel a place to stay for most of your trip. I recommend finding another hotel instead. But, if you are someone like me that just wanted a place to sleep for the night, then it's alright. At least the stay was mostly quiet and having A/C was nice.

The only let down to this location is the issue with parking. The hotel parking was full, the suggested nearby car park was not processing Apple Pay and there were no machines for manual payment. I had to abandon the car on the street (very few spaces as all resident bays until 11pm) and hope for the best so I arrived tired, very hot and bothered and quite grumpy. Receptionist was so friendly however that I soon found myself smiling and on arriving in the room the ac had been set to full (we are in a heatwave) so I immediately cooled down. The shower was nice and powerful and bathroom very clean. The room is basic but clean, comfortable and most importantly cool (did I mention the heatwave!) so I had a great nights sleep. It’s fine for one person but might feel a bit snug for 2 as the window was covered and sealed so you felt like you were in a sort of ‘pod’. There is no desk or separate working area so you have to spread out on the bed, which again, perfectly fine for one person overnight. Lots of plugs and usb points available. The included breakfast was plentiful and good quality. There is no kettle in the room so the fact that breakfast starts from 6.30 even on a Sunday was appreciated.

The room was smelly, no table or anything to keep your stuff on, simply just a bed in the room. Main thing, when I went for breakfast at 9:30am, there was no bread left at all and the lady handling the area was like it’ll take 20-30 minutes in the oven and asked if I wanted her to do that? I said no out of embarrassment. Then there were no glasses for the juice or mugs for the coffee, basically no breakfast.

Clean ,quiet room with a comfortable bed. Staff was good as was breakfast ,however my 5 night stay was ruined by the Prevailing and over powering smell of pot smoke after the second night. I brought it to the attention of the staff, who seemed unable to do anything about it. Ibis Swindon has to decide if they are a good quality budget hotel or a flophouse for druggies.
