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.

4/10 Fair

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

Dragon Needs A Lift

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.

Salim Sheik, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Ethan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No plugs sockets by the beds in the room I stayed in, room was cold , a heater was already in the room when arrived , Bed are comfy, slept really well . Staff are friendly and helpful.

2/10 Poor

Room was shoddy and no hot water available. Heating system was inadequate and the manager kindly moved us to a superior room. The hotel reimbursed us for one nights booking.
