Swinton Hotel  

Well what to right the bed rocked and was so small only one pillow although was nice white clean linen, very cramped, no gd atall for disabled people so dont go if yr in a wheelchair . as u wud never get in breakfast room corridors small thin..and it was sooooooooo hot in there.and it was like the m25 outside window.... To me was like a hostel....wont go bk ....

Very unhelpful staff noone appeared to know anything about the hotel, I moved out

It was good for one night although our room was at the front therefore it was very noisy even in the middle of the night as it woke me from my sleep!

The noise from other guests

Nice powerful shower and the room was very clean.

The room was very small and it was very old with the walls needing some new plaster in places. only 1 flat pillow each and a very thin duvet.

The hotel was in a great spot for the train station

The staff arent very friendly at all. The rooms are tiny and in need of a revamp.

The staff were helpful and courteous, both on the phone and in person. The hotel is easy walking distance from Kings Cross Station.

The room was very shabby and not very clean. The walls were thin and consequently sleep was hard to come by. Overall it was about the standard I would expect of a hostel rather than a hotel.

Location

Dirty and poor standard

Room size was tiny, only room for a single bed (bot even room enough for a chair). Wi Fi available but no signal in my room only in the breakfast area.

Breakfast -O.K. waitresses-good

Room looked nothing like the descriptions and photographs downloaded from website of hotel. SINGLE ROOM VERY TINY VERY!!! OVERPRICED.

The only good things were the cleanliness and the location.

The room and ensuite was spotlessly clean, bed was comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was more than adequate. Due to the price, I was not expecting the Ritz and the hotel perfectly suited my needs. I've certainly stayed in a lot worse places.

The reception area and public areas I feel let the hotel down a bit. It felt more like picking up a parcel from the sorting office than booking into a hotel. There was some noise from traffic but then what can you expect in central London? It didn't stop me sleeping and I am a light sleeper.

It is an awful hotel. Simply awful.

I had read the reviews previous to booking and numerous accounts of a rude owner. I thought maybe people just being a bit 'finicky' but this is complete true. We turned up and this older man was behind the counter. When I greeted him, there was no 'hello', just a open palmed hand put in my face (as if to say 'shut up') and then he answered the phone and walked away. He didn't even look at us. If he continues to work in that industry, he needs to learn some manners. We were certainly shocked! Finally attended by a nice little foreign man. The room is not worth the money we paid, at all. Very basic, no artwork on the walls, the beds were comfortable but the pillows were bad and the bedding much to be desired. The overall presentation of the room is like a dentist waiting room. Cold and uninviting. The breakfast was ok, nothing great. We will not be staying at this place again ( couldn't really call it a hotel) and certainly do not recommend it to anybody.
