I’d definitely stay there again if I have reason to be near Staines again. Beautiful spot on the river. Not short, but a nice, easy walk to the train station.

The Swan Hotel is amazing. Beautiful riverside pub a creaky old building full of character. The staff were amazing. We had an evening race at nearby Dorney Lake, it was my birthday and our anniversary the next day. We pitched up at 1pm when the check in wasn’t till 3pm. They were charming, found us a lovely room with a balcony. Lunch was fabulous. We were worried we wouldn’t get back in time for dinner as the kitchen normally closes 9-9:30pm but they held the restaurant open and we had another lovely meal before heading in to the bar to watch football on tv. Cannot fault any aspect of our stay. I was amazed the place isn’t full every night

Lovely stay fantastic staff and breakfast….. Quirky room loved that the floor was on a slant.. Room had everything you needed in it, even had a bug zapper and Bluetooth speaker so you can play your own music. Lovely to sit by the Thames have a drink and watch the boats go by if ever in the area again would definitely stay here again…

As an American, being able to stay in a building constructed in 1598 was a treat! The building has been maintained and updated but retains the spirit of the original era. My room was right above the pub so it was loud for a bit but the pub closes at 11 and it got quiet at that point. My balcony also looked out over the Themes and I saw rowers shooting along it all morning. The restaurant also offers yummy vegan options. I will definitely be back.

A thoroughly enjoyable stay: friendly, attentive staff; small but pleasant room; good beer in the bar; nice food at dinner and breakfast. The weather was fabulous during our stay and it was lovely to have the river view from our bedroom and the dining room, and to sit out on the terrace for pre-dinner drinks.

I had a lovely stay! Great location right on the riverside, good food, tasty breakfast. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was cool with nice toiletries and coffee/tea facilities, the only thing was the shower got the floor really wet and the bathroom door handle was coming unscrewed (I was in room 10.) I’d stay again and totally recommend this hotel.
Love the bright colour scheme

Everything went better then expected. We picked this hotel for its location and convenience to Heathrow Airport. It had that and a whole lot more. The coolness of being along the river with the awesome view from our room and a great restaurant too. Mason checked us in and was a big help.
