Leonardo Hotel Swindon

8/10 Good
"Stopped for one night basically had very little sleep due to noisy arguing/fighting people in a room by ours till the early hours of the morning when it suddenly stopped ( not sure if they got kicked out or they killed each other) although this is not the hotels fault - the walls are paper thin and can easily hear people talking never mind loudly arguing and fighting bouncing off the walls !! The mattress was very hard (but down to personal preference) Hotel was clean and tidy Breakfast was very good Just a shame we had no sleep due idiots"
