A good location but it's in a grotty part of town which is currently being redeveloped so potentially will be better. It's right opposite the train station so convenient if you're travelling to Swansea by train. The rooms were nice, smallish but everything to hand. The bathrooms are excellent and a really good shower. The breakfast is worth getting up... More

The room we were first given smelled like smoke (despite a big "No Smoking" sign on the back of the door) so we requested another room immediately. The second room smelled like mold/mildew. More

We book this hotel as it was close to the railway station and paid £100 for an Executive Room. The room was clean, a bit of black mould in the shower and shower door was coming of its runner. We arrive late to find no hot water which was no better in the morning. Staff were friendly, breakfast ok. Reported... More

Joanne the waitress/housekeeper was very personable and made us feel very welcome. Laura (manager) and other desk staff were gracious and accomodating. The Good: As previously stated, the staff. The location is good as it is... More

The rooms are pokey (I moved to a better one too!!!!) and in poor repair. The bed was lumpy, the room hot and... More

Stayed in the standard double room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room itself was small, but the bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. The daily cleaning of the room was excellent. A kettle and biscuits were available, and the biscuits were replaced daily. There were separate reading lights and a large mirror and... More

We booked two rooms in this hotel for my husband and I (double) and our teenage son ( twin). We stay for two nights and we were informed that the hotel was full. We stayed in room 310 and my son was allocated room 302. Room 310 was very cold and damp - and it's clear to see why, it's... More
