The staff! They were so accommodating, let us keep the stuff for the whole day. We had to wait for our bus which was at 11:30 pm, and our checkout was 10 am in the morning, it was so cold outside. The staff was kind enough to let us wait till our bus arrived.
I guess the bed space was congested. The water was not hot in one of the washrooms.

Stayed in 10.bed female dorm,with 2 ensuite bathrooms,which was clean and quiet. Very helpful staff who were able to accommodate my request for lower bunk.
Some noise from outside due to central.llocation, but didn't cause any disruption.
Great service as always
Pillows were a little thin and uncomfortable.

There were a lot of crumbs under the mattress. Pillow and mattress were a bit thin.

The quietness of staying in a bunk bed of 4 compared to bed bunk of 12 or 10. The difference is massive and contributed to a memorable stay because we ended two instead of 4.
The shower curtain is not big enough, water splash everywhere inside the bathroom. I suggest they get a sizable shower curtain or glass doors

I stayed here for the past two nights and honestly had such a lovely experience. The staff were so friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, they really made me feel comfortable. I even ended up meeting a new friend from Italy in my dorm which made the stay feel even more special.
The room was spotless, cosy, and perfect for a short stay but honestly it would be ideal for a longer stay too. Everything felt clean, safe and well looked after. Overall such a positive experience, I’d definitely come back again.

Location - easy access to public transport, centre & Swansea Bay. View of the cathedral & park - once it's finished from the kitchen.
WiFi - very good.
Beds - light, plug, shelf, privacy curtains on some beds & locker. Locker requires a lock. Good amount of personal space.
Facilities - small shared kitchen & big lounge.
Elevator - Access to all floors.
Security - key card & manned reception.
Laundry - Expensive £12 but this seems to be the general cost outside as well.
Shower - mould needs removing; a mat to avoid floor from becoming wet. Showerheads need a secure bracket so that you can stand under & not have to hold it while showering. Also toilet brushes need replacing as they were filthy.
Kitchen - some items need replacing, e.g. towels, baking tray.

Right in the heart of the center. Close to supermarkets.
With 3 or 4 more nights to go (I was there for 31 nights), a Brit switched to my room and told me he'd been bitten by bed bugs the night before in a different room. Another Brit, a guy who basically lives there, said there is one room he refuses to stay in due to bed bugs.

The place is fairly new. The kitchen is pretty big and has all the essentials.
When I arrived in my room, a woman told me she was leaving because she was sensitive to mold, and she'd confirmed with a staff member that they have mold issues. After 3 weeks there, I started coughing and continued to do so for the rest of my 33 night stay.

My experience exceeded my expectation. It was my first time in Swansea, so didn't know what to expect. I am glad I chose this hostel ❤️
It was really good value for money. The beach, a big Tesco supermarket and the train station are less than 10 minutes walk away. A Caribbean restaurant is downstairs from the hostel. The hostel has cooking facilities in a sizable clean kitchen.

-I booked this place last minute because of the location near where my son was staying in Swansea and because it was near the graduation venue as well.
-Excellent and helpful staff on duty on the two days we were there
-As a hostel It was surprisingly quite clean, in terms of the bed linen which was my greatest fear, and it was not very noisy at least from the guests
-Great that there is a storage place where we could store luggage after checking out
-The sink in the room we were staying was leaking and there was water all over the floor constantly and I’m sure this is something the Hostel should’ve looked into all in advance.
The Hostel is in the party side of the town where many restaurants are so at night it was very noisy and quite disturbing but this is not the fault of the owners

Attentive staff and everything was nicely prepared and ready for my arrival. Check in was also earlier than the official time, which helped a lot.
1) I'd be nice to have some curtains hanging from the beds, 2) I wouldn't stay here if I had something more expensive in my bag... there's a lock you cant rent, but easy to bypass.

The hostel is in a really great location, right in the city center and close to the train station.
The main purpose of my trip was to do day hikes, so this place had good connections by foot and bus to everywhere I needed to go.
The dormitory was spacious, and there was plenty of storage for personal belongings. The kitchen was also good and well equipped.
The building is right in the city center, and there are several restaurants on the street level that play very loud music late into the night.
Luckily, I had packed earplugs, so the three nights went by comfortably.

Excellent location, helpful staff and handy tips to explore the area and make the most of your time there.
Relying on fellow guests to clean up after themselves was not ideal, I’d recommend carrying disinfectant or requesting for cleaning equipment before using the shower after another guest.

Loved it here :) I stayed in the girls' room and the cubby holes were spacious and super cozy. The guy at reception also gave me a tour for my room and the kitchen.
Shower never seemed to get hot. Just lukewarm.

Clean roon and convenient location. Walking distance to the train station, bus station and shops.
Loud music nearby, but it's not the hostel's fault! The bunk beds felt confined, but that also helped in keeping privacy.

Large clean and comfortable dorm with 2 ensuite shower rooms. Beds are separate pods. Staff happy to provide extra sheet which you can use to curtain off your bunk.
Room was well soundproofed, as little noise heard from busy st.
Brilliant and helpful staff.
The ladders to the upper pods are difficult for people with any mobility issues.

Two bathrooms (shower+toilet) inside the 10 bunk beds room.
Elevator or stairs to reach the 2nd floor
Great location (approx. 10 minutes from the train station)
Storage under the bunk bed (padlock necessary)
In the pictures there is a curtain for each bunk bed, but there was none during my stay
The bed sheets were quite thin
Usually only 2 people can cook at the same time
