Bader, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Lee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient and comfortable

I stayed due to travel disruption. Very convenient for the station, friendly and helpful receptionist, clean and comfortable room with all I needed for the night.
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My first stay was very impressive and reasonably quiet considering the city centre location in the middle of swanseas night life. Everything you need within easy walking distance. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I was only there for one night playing in a weekend sporting competion. I deal for a covenient place to get your head down, nothing fancy it is what is. Highly recommended.

Good value accommodation

The staff were friendly. Basic hotel accommodation. Very clean and well maintained. Decor a bit dated. The only down side was the very thin duvet and no extra blankets or duvets available in the room.

4/10 Fair

It's grubby and noisy, but very central. The staff are lovely.
James, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff very friendly and helpful BUT

The hotel requires a £150 deposit! In cash you get it a checkout once the room hss been checked, use a credit card and it will be refunded within 3- 5 days! Totally unacceptable I am not a room wrecker and it is not Falaraki! Also I paid extra for a Superior room.not sure what was superior about it - would not stay again.

Excellent value for money

Always clean and tidy. While not fancy or particularly handsome as rooms go, its good value for money and highly recommended.
Donna, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Most uncomfortable night ever had in a hotel

I have never seen such a small single bed in my life not only was extremely uncomfortable but trying to lie down on it was like trying to lie on a rope. My arms and shoulders had nothing to rest on as the bed was so narrow.
Wayne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Reasonable price for the hotel. It looks like it's in the process of renovation and benefits from being right in the centre of Swansea.
Richard, 3-night trip

Robin, 1-night trip

Location was very convenient and rooms were clean and tidy.
Caroline, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The friendliness and helpfulness of staff was outstanding. The check in/check out was efficient. The rooms were small but very, very comfortable and clean. Had a great night's sleep. The Swansea market and castle are nearby, shop are an easy few steps away, and there are some great eating options within walking distance. The on-site cafe, Cafe Lucia served great coffee and was a very comfortable, inviting venue. Would stay here again, if we ever get the opportunity to return to Swansea.
