The room was at the very top of the hotel in the roof, and up several flights of stairs getting Increasingly hot the further up you went. By the time I arrived at 3 30 the room was incredibly hot and opening the window only made it hotter. Once I found a fan.shut away in a wardrobe it did circulate the air. I know there is little the hotel can do, but it wasn't a pleasant experience to stay in a small room.

Thanks for a very enjoyable stay in Newport Pagnell, the Star Revived is definitely worth the high rating (and probably more).
We stayed 1 night in standard room with (fantastic) breakfast - great value all round.
Great location on high st with lots of dining options nearby, although dinner menu looks very good, good safe parking as well.
As well as comfortable clean rooms the property has excellent staff throughout- the breakfast staff even filled our water bottles with cold water and ice cubes - just what we needed for our 3hr drive home to Somerset on a very hot day in May.
Many thanks for our stay and if back in the area will definitely stay again.

Some parking on site. However, if it’s full, there is a public car park opposite that allows a two hour stay.
Room was clean but basic. Bed reasonably comfortable, hotel clean and comfortable. There is a bar and a pub associated with the hotel. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was average quality but plentiful. Evening meals are available. Lots of choice for restaurants and shops locally and is fairly close to the City and the M1.

Excellent venue in Newport Pagnall

We stayed at the Swan Revived hotel as it was the venue for the funeral wake we were attending.

The hotel had plenty of character and was ideally placed for the centre of Newport Pagnell

The staff were first class. Food excellent

Bedroom was a good double with interesting route from reception.

The limited parking was 6 cars but free public car parks within easy reach.

We were one of three couples stopping and we all would all stay there again.

Having to walk though thick cigarette smoke to get to the door to reception is not a welcoming start, and unfortunately the smell of cigarettes lingered throughout the hotel. Our room was not very clean, tea or coffee had been spilt down the wall and left, the carpet was very stained. bed was comfortable. Breakfast was a guessing game, we were showed to a table but not offered drinks or told if it was table or self-service. We had to ask for tea and toast. Food was good quality from the buffet .

Away for work

This is a hotel in the high street. It has a very small car park at the rear (5 or 6 vehicles), and behind that there is a public car park (no charge in the evening). This is an old building, there is a lift but there are still stairs to negotiate when out of lift. I was in a room on the 2nd floor. It was okay, ensuite bathroom okay. No view from the window in the room (but I had not booked the room for a view).

First Choice Hotel in Newport Pagnell

My first Choice hotel in Newport Pagnell.
Ask for an even-numbered room to avoid noise from outdoor pub seating if you need to be asleep before midnight.
Breakfast was good 3 of 4 mornings. Monday bacon was over cooked and rubbery so not eaten, Possibly a reheat. Sadly, I wasn’t asked why, nor was asked if stay had been comfortable, else my feedback would have been direct to them rather than here.
I would still stay again as mostly a fine hotel. Their bar & restaurant could do with a review as menu very limited. However, locally an Italian restaurant and a Chinese takeaway were good value.

Overall was a nice place, the room was clean and nice...a bit small tho (and really warm, fortunately we had a fan in the room).
I wasn't a big fan of breakfast - as italian I need an espresso in the morning, but that was not included in the breakfast price - I think they should give a wider choice...espesso, cappuccino, latte...this kind of stuff.
Except for this small detail, evening was ok.

A short stay

Check in was easy, the rooms are basic but have everything you need. Mould in the shower cubical needs to be addressed.
At 6am a towel delivery arrived outside on roller wheels on cobbled ground which was very loud and unnecessary. At breakfast the team were short staffed and we had to ask twice for hot drinks which finally arrived after we had eaten our breakfast.

At check out, they didn’t ask how our stay was. They just wanted confirmation of the room number. Lack of hospitality!

Disappointing stay, would not return

The room was old fashioned and furniture worn. It was fairly clean, but much room for improvement, the remote control was filthy so I gave it a clean. The photos and reviews on the website did not show what it was actually like. Customer service very slow in all areas even though it wasn't busy, reception staff were slow to even acknowledge us. We were the only two people for dinner and yet we were waiting a while to be seated, food was ok for pub grub. I then had to go and find someone so we could pay our bill after waiting for quite a period of time. The best service we had was at breakfast served by a lovely lady who was very helpful and friendly. We would not stay again

Comfy stay

Lovely stay at the swan

We had a room over the bar area so was quite noisy until 11 ish (mid week)

Twin room was comfy, sink is in bedroom instead of bathroom which is a bit odd but was ok.
Dog friendly too which was a bonus

Car park was so busy, and quite small and lots of people parking where they could which wasn’t always practical but found out you can park in the car park next to hotel out of hours without getting a ticket so that was a bonus

Had to pay for breakfast even though we couldn’t have any due to serving times not starting til 7am and we had to leave at 6am so an option for a continental box would be nice as was a little annoying we had to pay for that

Could do with a bin in the room but other than that was nice and clean and a good stay
