Firsdown Vacations

Very friendly staff. Our room was upgraded and was very comfortable and spacious. Excellent shower. Food at breakfast and dinner was delicious and service was great. Hotel is in a great location within easy walking of centre of Malmesbury.

Great Hotel. Staff really helpful

The building was in a great location. a nice quiet square, just 5 minutes from the start of all the bars and restaurants. The room itself was nothing like the pictures. It was one small room only which contained the shower and the sink. there was no wardrobe or cupboard to put clothes and shoes. There was a single rail attached to a roof beam which had 6 clothes hangers. The most alarming problem, was the fact that there was no toilet. This was located on the landing which needed a separate key to open. This is not ideal when you wake up during the night and its dark and you need to locate the key before you can use the toilet. The room we was allocated, but looked nothing like the pictures, was located at the top of the building. Apparently, it was on the 3rd floor. But to get there, you had to walk up 5 small staircases, 55 steps in total. When we arrived, i did complain about the room and we was offered a different one in the basement, as long as we had used nothing in the room. Unfortunately in the 2 hours between sending my complaint and receiving the reply, we had unpacked and showered, rendering the room used. For the money we paid, the minimum you expect is an en-suite toilet.

Rather run down hotel, mattress was terrible, old furniture throughout the property and in need of general modernisation, wouldn’t mind if cost was a lot less than competitors but doesn’t live up to others in similar budget.
