The swan was one of the best hotels I've stayed at. The building, rooms, and location were beautiful, well taken care of, and thoughtfully curated. The staff range from quite friendly to fantastically friendly and the breakfast was exceptional. Thanks for having us, we'll be back someday for a longer stay.

Almost perfect

Arundel is such a stunning place to visit and The Swan Hotel is a great base to see it from. I can’t fault the check in or the service, both were excellent. The breakfast was really superb and the quality of teas and coffees in the room was really very good. I’ve taken off one star because our room was cramped and had a very small window making it quite dark, plus the shower drained very slowly meaning it overflowed a bit. I would definitely return but I’d make a better choice of room next time, one which offered more space.

Nice place but rooms need a refresh

Loved Arundel. The Swan Hotel was clean, but room was pokey and in need of a refresh, decoration and a new carpet. Bed was real comfy. Breakfast was amazing, very tasty amount and quality. Very good service at breakfast...did wait a while but it was worth it when it arrived. Overall not a bad deal.

Staff were very friendly and service was excellent. Food was really good. Room was lovely, bathroom was dated and could do with an upgrade, a shower attachment over the bath was a little antiquated. Overall we had a great time and. We would come again

Nice hotel in centre of Arundel

We stayed for a Sunday night in November. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was cosy but the bathroom had both a roll top bath and a walk-in shower. The evening meal was good and the cooked breakfast excellent. A relaxing stay all round.

So comfortable and convenient

I am glad i added an extra night the day before arrival. I hadnt been to Arundel for years so enjoyed get reacquainted. The room was a comfortable double. There is a food selection of tea and coffee, milk you get from the bar in a flask, brilliant idea, great as i have Oat Milk. The only small thing is that i feel the sink is too close to the bath head end. The staff are all lovely. I would definitely stay again.
