Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center and train station, making it a great spot for exploring Swansea. The rooms, although a bit run down, are very clean, ensuring a comfortable stay. The service, despite some Fawlty Towers-like moments, was polite and apologetic when needed. The dining experience, while a bit chaotic at times, offers good value for money with advance bookings. Overall, a decent option for a stay in Swansea.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and boasted a great view of the town with the beautiful Christmas tree outside, creating a festive atmosphere. The staff, although one or two were not as friendly, was generally very welcoming and helpful, making my stay feel special. The location was ideal for exploring the city center, with convenient parking options nearby. The dining experience, though needing some attention to detail, offered delicious and hot dishes. Overall, a lovely stay with some minor room for improvement.
I was a bit disappointed with this hotel despite being a regular guest as I felt the rooms were small and not great value for the money we paid. Considering I stay here multiple times a year to visit the Chinese restaurant across the road, I might opt for the Marriott on the bay next time. The rooms, however, were simple and clean, serving well as a dressing room.
We had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a lovely bed set up for the kids and modern amenities. The service was friendly and helpful, but the lifts struggled to accommodate larger groups like ours. The location was great for exploring Swansea but lacked some finesse. The dining was varied, though there were delays on one occasion.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were comfortable and adequate, although we had an unexpected disturbance late at night. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. The location was central, though the parking fee was a bit overpriced. The dining experience left something to be desired, as advertised facilities were not fully available.
Upon arrival, we were surprised by the room discrepancies, but overall it was clean and comfortable. The service was friendly and welcoming. The location was convenient for our activities. The dining options were good but lacked variety for vegans.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I enjoyed the convenient free calls and tea/coffee provided. The restaurant offered a good choice of breakfast options, and the staff were friendly, although the front area of the hotel was a bit noisy.

The hotel is situated right in the center of Swansea, making it ideal for the theatre, shops, bars, and restaurants. The rooms were clean, tidy, and comfortable, although a bit dated. The customer service was excellent overall, but a rude interaction regarding a booking mistake was a downside. The location was brilliant for my needs, despite not being great overall. The dining experience fell short with cold breakfast and some facilities not as advertised. Overall, the hotel provided a good experience with room for improvement in certain areas.
