All in, the hotel is ok. Definitely needs modernising, but isn’t that bad. Paid £70 for a room on a Saturday night, so can’t complain.

Booked a suite, turned out it was a triple room so an expense could have been lessened for a standard room as didn’t have the amenities that it should have. Also ran out of hot water so I couldn’t shower on my final night or the morning of my departure

2-night trip

8/10

Great location for a Swansea Centre gig night (thank you Manics, you were amazing as always). Room (401) was functional but tired decor wise...the mattress was softer than I'm used to but the night was very quiet and that supported a decent night's sleep. Breakfast was tasty, particularly excellent sausages. The one (of two) functioning lifts wasn't functioning on Sunday morning - those four flights toting a full trip bag was a pain but manageable for this 69 year old...other guests at breakfast might have found it more problematic.

Decent value for the area. We stayed in a Family Room, the room was very spacious and kitted out with nice, modern furniture. The room is a little rough around the edges however, lots of chipped paint, the windows could do with a scrub and the bedding had a couple of small stains. Staff were friendly on check in/check out.

8/10

Love the 1950’s charm of this hotel, chose to stay here over the premier inn because of that - love the staircase and the nod to past grandeur. The staff are all super friendly and professional which is really appreciated. I want impressed with the wedding party staying at the hotel who felt it appropriate to run through the corridors shouting all night, I hope they found “Wayne” who was clearly lost and in need of finding, so desperate were his friends to locate him that they felt the need to knock on every door at 2am whilst shouting for him. Kind of ruined the vibe and destroyed what was promising to be a good nights sleep.
