Great service and nice old hotel in the middle of Stafford. Train and bus station within 10 min walk and close to fast food, supermarkets, museum and other attractions. Great food and comfortable room. Would visit again if in the area!

I was on a remembrance and family/friends visit. The Swan is ideally located in the centre of Stafford and is a lovely old coaching inn. I decided to visit by rail and the hotel is only a 10 minute walk, through the park, from the railway station. The staff were friendly, professional and very pleasant. The only slight downside was that some of the furniture in my room was chipped. However, I understand there is a refurbishment planned in the near future. An easy to use car park is located at the back of the hotel and parking is free to all guests and anyone using the hotel facilities. I would have no hesitation in visiting The Swan again sometime.

Disappointing stay
Hotel room very clean and beds comfortable. Stayed before and had issues with noise from a kitchen extractor on all-night. As the hotel was nice though I thought I would give it a second go and asked for a quiet room. Unfortunately we had issues with noise again - our room was positioned directly opposite air condition unit which we were told went off at 9pm. This was not so and also music playing in the hotel went on for both nights until late - the noise was really loud. I've no problem with music but when you book a hotel to sleep in and the noise level Stops you settling until the music stops it is very frustrating. Sound proofing of the room is also poor so hear lots of noise all night. We were not warned before hand about the live band and I phoned reception at 11:10 to ask when it was finishing, but got no reply. It's a lovely hotel but we slept badly for two nights so we're glad to get home for a rest, which defeats the reason for getting a break away. Sadly we will not book here again, and will now try a different hotel for our frequent trips to the area.

We enjoyed our stay at The Swan. It was over the bank holiday weekend, so when we reported that the toilet had a leak around the toilet base they had no maintenance staff available, so we had to keep putting toilet paper round the bottom of the toilet to soak up the liquid. On our second (out of 3) morning the plug got stuck in the bathroom sink. I had a phone call during the day to say they were going to change our room because of the problems that they couldn’t solve. So while we were out housekeeping removed all our belongings to another room. We gave our permission as we were at a conference until late evening, but weren’t happy that they were touching all our belongings, packing some in our suitcases and the rest in a black bin bag! We therefore had to unpack again when we arrived back at the hotel around 10pm. When we left this morning we told the manager we felt we should be compensated in some way and she said she would think about it and let us know. It was a considerable inconvenience after a long day and I must say we didn’t like the thought of someone else manhandling our personal items 🤔☹️, but we had no choice really. We hope the Manager comes up with some gesture of goodwill. Apart from that it was a lovely, comfortable hotel with a very good breakfast and staff.

We loved staying at the swan, everything was perfect, from the lovely receptionist who welcomed us when we arrived, and all the wonderful staff who served us to the magnificent breakfast we had in the morning and everything in-between. Our room was really something special too, all in all just a fabulous stay

Town hotel
This is an old building so unfortunately when we arrived it was a heatwave so the room was pretty unbearable with only 1 small window and 1 small fan. The downstairs bar and resto areas are nicely decorated and there is a lovely outside courtyard. Im afraid the bed was uncomfortable and we didnt sleep well but perhaps the 3 star rating represents this. Staff were friendly and there was free parking at the back of hotel - easy to find.

Nice hotel but not as good as was
This is a nice hotel, lovely old building and lots of character. Staff was a mixed bag. Person who checked us in was nice, the restaurant (I assume) manager was a bit cheeky, wait and bar staff were fine. Breakfast filter coffee was not great, ask for a decent one instead, breakfast not as good as I remember last time. The bed was crazy hard and both my partner and I had a hard time sleeping well, due to that and the heat. Restaurant food was nice, nice surroundings, on site free parking (barriered), interesting hotel. Some areas are obviously ignored by cleaning staff - staircase has a large CCTV camera half way down and it was disgusting. I'm sure many staff walk past it - run a cloth over it for pete sake! I think I'd be more reluctant to go back again after this trip (our second) mainly because there were just one too many little things starting to outweigh the overall good things.
