Good location in the center of town, amazing staff very welcoming and was able to have a laugh with them. Room was a average hotel room but a bit out of date. Shower was good good to use. Some stains on the bath. Mold on the ceiling of the bathroom and wallpaper coming off. Light's could be cleaned abit better. Other then that a great 2 night stay.

Stayed one night after a work event in Swansea. Decor is dated and could do with a coat of paint in the rooms. But clean and a perfectly good budget hotel. Breakfast was included in my booking and had the added surprise that I could have it delivered to my room! Would stay again!

Pretty basic hotel, dated decor, but still clean and perfectly pleasant. I stayed on a Monday night so was quite quiet, but I wonder if it would be that quiet in other days.

Prices reflects what you pay. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. Place is dates and could use some love and tender care. Breakfast was not special. Coffee was not good and the meal was very basic. Better to go outside for breakfast for better value for your money.

Great Location

Only a short stay but the staff were excellent and the room comfortable enough for a 6 hour sleep - didn't really have much time to look around as I have a late arrival and an early train out the next morning but seemed clean, comfortable and right in the centre of town with about a 10 minute walk to the station.
