Local knowledge helps travellers find the best hotels in Swindon, Wiltshire (UK)

Online, October 15, 2009 (Newswire.com) - A family from the town of Swindon (England) have launched their own reviews for all hotels in the local area on the premise that local knowledge can help travellers to the town decide on a suitable location.

Swindon Hotels, launched last month, has been built with new features that allow visitors to search by proximity to places of interest (such as local attractions) or even by proximity to your workplace should you be staying in the town on business.

Each review has been manually written by the family with the view to providing an unbiased opinion of the local attractions.

Paul, the web designer for the project, said "The problem with these hotel comparison sites is that they work on covering the largest area possible. It simply isn't possible for other hotel comparison sites to cover the same amount of detail that we have, because their coverage is too broad. By focusing on a small area where we have lived for a number of years, we can offer the end user an edge in terms of information provided. They can even drop us an email to get a recommendation from us if they have niche requirements. This type of service you can't get anywhere else!"

Swindon is a rapidly expanding town situated on the M4 between Bath and Reading. Although it is not a tourist hotspot, it is a useful epicentre for attractions in the nearby surroundings. Swindon is also commonly used for business meetings and is home to offices from many large companies such as Nationwide, Honda and Zurich.
