About This Pub
Ah, The Swan Hotel – it's one of those reliable Wetherspoon haunts that you can always count on for a decent pint and a bite without breaking the bank. From what I've gathered from chats with others who've popped in, the rooms are a real highlight; they're nicely done up, with all the essentials like tea and toiletries, and feel just right for a quick overnight stay. The food's generally spot on too – loads of choices on the menu, and it's all served up hot and flavoursome, which is brilliant for keeping things affordable yet enjoyable. The staff get a thumbs up as well; they're quick off the mark and make you feel welcome, adding a nice touch to the lively but laid-back vibe that's perfect for a relaxed evening out. On the downside, though, it's not all smooth sailing – the kitchen seems to buckle under pressure when it gets a bit crowded, which can leave you hanging around waiting for your order or even unable to get served properly. That said, if you're just in for a drink and a natter, it's still a top pick in the area. Overall, it's a solid choice for a no-fuss visit, as long as you keep an eye on the crowds and plan accordingly – wouldn't you agree it's worth a go for the good bits?

Rooms are nice but don’t stay for food. Kitchen buckles when it gets slightly busy and leaves you unable to order. So now you’re in a hotel that serves foods but as a guest can’t order anything unless you sit there waiting for the kitchen to catch up which ends up being late into the evening. What a joke
Popped into The Swan Hotel’s Wetherspoon bar and restaurant and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was lively but relaxed, service was quick and friendly, and the food was great value for money. Huge menu with lots of options, and everything we ordered came out hot and tasty. Great selection of drinks too. Definitely one of the best spots in Leighton Buzzard for a casual meal or a drink!
Tbh I would not normally consider a 2 or 3 star hotel but it was recommended by my course organiser.
I was very pleasantly surprised, I've stayed in hotels with far higher ratings that were nowhere near as nice! I think they should look at this rating again.
The food is what it is but staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent location.
Obvious downside is that it's above a busy pub so some noice from beer garden but not excessive.
More noise from inconsiderate guests tbh slamming doors on way out from 5.30am onwards 🙄
My partner spent a night in the Swan hotel and if this is the standard of wetherspoon hotel we will definitely be back. The room was a good size, nicely decorated and well stocked with toiletries, selection of tea coffee and hot chocolate. Excellent value for money
Had a lovely stay in Leighton Buzzard. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect. There is a large car park to the rear which you have to pay for, but its £8 for 24 hours, so not bad value. The front goes out on to the main street which is nice. The only downside for us was the Saturday morning breakfast. Our order was taken to the wrong table. When it was eventually sorted out, the food was cold. We didn't eat there again.
