God awful hotel.

Where to begin.. one of our group is on crutches, the lift was out of order, the stairs we had to use were uneven with loose carpet -dangerous, a step in the corridor that only had a warning sign after the step, we then entered our room no.10, to discover smashed plug sockets and phone outlets, a leaking radiator that had a cloth stuffed behind it to soak the leak that had clearly been there a while -orange stains on the skirting, radiator was cold on top and only warm on the bottom. One plug socket was blocked and couldn’t be used. The bathroom.. a mould covered ceiling, a broken shower door and loose toilet seat, a leaking tap and broken toilet roll holder that left screws sticking out. The fire doors were propped open with rags stuffed under them throughout the hotel, we had to return our keys whenever we went out of the hotel, with no explanation as to why, which left us feeling as though our belongings wouldn’t be safe in this god awful hotel. If we could rate this hotel in the minus, we would have done. We will not be recommending or returning to this hotel. If anything we will be warning people away. Nothing about our stay matched what we had seen or read online.

While the staff were very helpful and pleasant, Both my friend and I ended up with bed bug bites from our stay. Expedia needs to stop offering the Swinton Hotel until this issue is addressed.

Avoid

Only 10min to travel n station. Hallway is really narrow, lobby is too small. If you claustrophobic, try to avoid this place. Bathroom looks like from Horror movies.

Place was convenient to the tube station, friendly staff, reasonably priced breakfast. Clean room , fresh sheets. I have no issue with the small bathroom, however a bathroom mat outside the shower would be preferred also to prevent accidental slipping from water splash. I would book again on my future visit.

Great for a budget night

The Swinton Hotel did the trick foran affordable short night before heading to Heathrow at 0500. The room was super clean, and bed comfy tho everything on small scale. Front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Convenient to Kings Cross station after visiting York.

this is definitely a budget hotel, which is fine. All we wanted was a place close to the train station for 1 night. It satisfied that need. Biggest complaint is lack of any hooks or bars to hang a towel in the bathroom. Also peeling paint in bathroom. Room was very small, but one night was alright. Staff (especially Yai) were very helpful and helped overlook other shortcomings. I would not recommend for extended stay.
