    One of the dining rooms
    Gianguido G.

    Great countryside location just outside London. Very close to Heathrow airport, maybe too close. Actually 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the noise of the planes. Not all rooms are very well sound proof. The whole hotel is built in an great castle where the Royal family was used to get for hunting. Perfect preservation of the old structure with all the modern comforts. Lot of dining rooms and conference rooms for any activity. From wedding party to corporate meetings. Swimming pool and restaurant. Most the veggies and cheeses are coming from the venue's farmland. Pricey, but hey, you got to have your castle :) Great and professional service.

    Entrance- you have to go through the small door...

    Stayed here for a couple of nights. As you would expect in Europe, the rooms are smaller that folks for the U.S are use to. Service was second to none by all staff members. The grounds are amazing with beautiful gardens. Check out Their website for additional pictures. Food was decent considering your in Britain. If you have a reason to say here, go for it- does take you back in time. Great place to have a wedding...

I asked if I could shower and change cloths and Natalia at the desk told me no. Not even in the pool shower our spa. She suggested I wait in the lobby five hours. The person next to me went to the spa and said they were more than accommodating. Natalia just did not care. The restaurant was buffet only and no ordering off the menu. I doubt I'll return

It is just outside Egham in Surrey. It is just minutes away from Windsor and is very close to Heathrow Airport. It has plenty of grounds an although it's set off a busy roundabout. The hotel grounds at the rear are really scenic. The reception area was really busy when I arrived, and the hotel seems to be hosting several functions. I think it is mainly a business and conference hotel during the week, with special packages for weddings and partys at the weekend. I had a really nice room overlooking the front of the hotel. As I was only here for one night and most of the time at the wedding. I didn't feel the need to pay a supplement for a river view room. It came with all the usual facilities you would now expect at a UK hotel (tea, coffee making, iron and ironing board). There were also robes and slippers left in the wardrobe for guests use. The public areas were busy but there were plenty of option and spaces to use. The outside bar area and seating was plentiful. I really enjoyed sitting out here with a pot of tea after my breakfast the morning after the wedding. The hotel also has a spa that I was not able to use (free to guests), which I will try next time The breakfast at this hotel is one of the best hotel breakfasts I have had. It offered all the usual options, but just tasted so good. I've given the hotel 4 stars as the wait to be seen to check-out was really long and slow, with not many staff at the reception desk. I will come back though, and am already planning a family reunion here for 2016.

    Amazing. We had a 16 hour layover at Heathrow so we decided to book a nearby hotel for the night…read more This was an amazing decision. It was a short uber ride from the airport, and the place was SO cozy and perfect. We ate the best fish and chips of our lives at the restaurant and then hopped over (across the hall) to the pub for a few drinks before walking right up the stairs and going to bed. The bed was comfortable (although Americans- take note that a king size bed in the US is much bigger than a UK King. I'd say the UK king was closer to a queen). There was a gorgeous coffee/tea setup with a Nespresso machine and pods, an electric kettle, some teabags, and chocolates to pair with the coffee. We had a balcony overlooking the river which was gorgeous! Everything about this place was cozy, cute, and felt so English.

Hoping, but not expecting, and this is the perfect way to go through life: Set your expectations low and watch your happiness meter rise. The Swan Hotel is a 16th century place of lodging sitting right beside the Thames. It's been refurbished to a stylish, immaculate inn with both a pub and a restaurant. Staines isn't a hotbed of activity so hanging out in the pub then stumbling up to your room is a very comforting plan. While it's true that a ball placed on the floor of my room would have rolled on its own (remember, 16th century building) it's also true that my room was a dream. With its luxurious bedding, mattress (1600 individual pocket spring mattress), and a French door that opened up to a tiny balcony overlooking the Thames River I'd have enjoyed staying longer. That such charm can be had for so little (rooms here can be had for about $125 per night) brings joy. The Swan Hotel is a Fuller property, a name I saw several times during my time in the UK. Based on my all-around excellent experience here I'd not just seek to stay here again but I'd also seek out other Fuller properties when returning to visit the rest of the UK.

There is a gym that guests can use for a small fee that is 3 minutes away but it doesn't open until 8 or 9am depending on the day. That is too late for me since I was going to work early every day. The rooms are tiny with a double bed. I had a view of the rooftop next door. The mattress was pretty firm and the bed had 4 pillows one of which was a feather. The bathroom had a nice shower with one of those rain shower heads and the water got really hot. The shower door was one of those half doors that doesn't close. That seems a bit weird but it worked. The bathroom has a towel warmer but mine was not working which was unfortunate. It also got a bit stuffy in my room at night luckily the window was able to open a little bit, enough for fresh air! There are coffee pods, and tea in the room. I love that they give you the Walkers biscuits in your room. They are so good and there were many flavors that they replenished every day. Also they gave you water in your mini fridge. My co worker was not happy that there was no lotion or conditioner in the bathroom. She asked for lotion at the front desk but then had to buy some conditioner. I always bring mine so it wasn't a big deal for me. My reservation came with a buffet breakfast in the restaurant. It was your traditional English breakfast The coffee was horrible. 2/10 on the coffee scale. The location is fabulous and very walkable. Kitty corner to the Windsor castle and shopping is steps away.

My boyfriend wanted…read moreto go to Thorpe park so I looked up a hotel nearby and found this hotel which is part of the mercure chain. I drove but found the hotel was on the other side of the road but no way to get to it apart from driving past and doubling back. What I should have done was follow sign for Hotel (stay in left lane) taking to to another round round which takes you to the right side! Hotel has 30 complimentary parking spaces and as we arrived at 5pm on a Friday it was half empty thankfully! Check in: two members of staff were dealing with lady wanting to move room, I was not acknowledged for 5 mins even as I stood in front of reception. Guy did turn and mumbled something that may resembled what do you want? I said can I check in? He started to check in but passed it to the other girl who was the proper receptionist (not sure if guy was the manager). She was more professional! Though I think the last person probably got them irate, trying to sort out her demands! I gave my Accor number and she upgraded me to a river view room and gave us two free drinks vouchers as meant to be one! Nice! Room was fine, big bed, bit dark looking and I couldn't get the heating to warm the room. I was worried it was ground floor but it was fine, not noisy at all. Breakfast: we paid £10 each on checkin rather than £15 on the morning so best to always ask the costs! It was nice and hot though my bf didn't like the cooked breakfast as much as I did. It was noisy as there was a group of people in there that obviously knew each other and would talk across the room at each other. It was so much better when they all left to go to legoland .. Yeah I could hear everything! Thankfully we were going to Thorpe park so my headache subsided when they left. There were other families in the room but they chatted with no loud voices! Hotel is only 10 min from Thorpe park so it is great location and in walking distance to shops and restaurants in Staines!

It had a TV, a bed perched up like an upper bunk bed, a gold-out step to get up into the bed, great lighting, fold-out table, luggage nook, plenty of plugs, shower, shower products, sink, toilet, towel, towel hook, trash can, fold-up chair. You can have coffee and hot chocolate anytime, and they have food they can warm up for you. I had been in Spain for 5 days eating yummy tapas but having Hong-style noodles was what I wanted - perfect! I borrowed a hair dryer too. Everything was so well thought out for your comfort, and it sure beats sleeping on an uncomfortable airport chair or trying to figure out the train into London when you are tired and just want to have somewhere to shower and lay down in comfort for awhile.

The room was perfectly sized for one, and had all of the essentials you needed for a night. I'll admit it was a little difficult to find since it was tucked away in a different terminal than where I landed but everyone at heathrow was very helpful. The front concierge (Marta) was really helpful and was quick to offer me the free hot chocolate and coffee which was really necessary for me! Although I don't want to have another 15 hour layover, if I were to ever have one again, I would definitely stay at yotel again! It's reasonably priced and sure beats sleeping at the terminal!
