The location was good but there was only one grocery shop which was closed as I reachet at 5 PM
Reception, No one was there to handover the keys. I had to make multiple calls. I was told to contact security office which was closed. It took about half an hour to get the keys/Card. The kitchen wasn't equipped at all. No plates, no cooking pots and there was no hotel nearby but only in the city center. There was no laundry in the apartment but in the next building and Ironing facility was worst, the iron wasn't in well condition to be used.

The location is fine, as a University accommodation just little outskirts of City, so quiet during summer vacation. All purpose build bit like offices but many brick facade blocks. Shower was good if you choose en suite, but mattress and linens weren't great. Desk and chair useful. Good security and leafy, 10 mins by bus to City Centre. Tesco, Subway on site. Singleton Campus nearby. If you stay for a short while to enjoy the City, Beaches such as Mumbles very cheap and convenient. Love Swansea.
Reception times and service is very limited, never seen one, call Security Officers by given number 24/7 but not tour guide. Facility was basic, shared kitchen had only fridge, microwave and kettle but bring own tea bags, milk for tea. No pots, pans, toaster, if you wanted to cook in shared kitchen. Only shower expect basic but decent. You can't bring family or boyfriend or girlfriend to share bed or room, singles only. Book each room if you like. Slightly out of town, not walking distance to places at night.

Convenient for our needs. Easy to check-in when we got there. Check-out was fine as well. The room was clean, quiet and as expected.
It was difficult to confirm the booking and I had to call. I then had to fill in a form that they emailed and they needed me to upload photo id. They did not send check-in instructions until the night before.

Friendly staff
The advertisement really should be honest and upfront about car parking. It’s no big deal to pay £3.50 a day but an entry card should be provided. I got back early everyday for fear there would be no attendant to let me in

Ensure you bring any utensils...very clean student accommodation but no plates/cutlery. etc.

The Clock Tower building entrance to find security to obtain the key card is not clearly marked.
Once in the Clock Tower there is a notice to phone security – this number should have been provided in the emailed information. 01792606010
The mobile phone reception in the area is weak whether using O2 or Vodafone.
Security were very quick to respond, thankfully.
The amount of time between presenting the key card to the door to the block and the door to the group of rooms was adequate but extremely short to access my room.
The sink in the shower room was out-of-date with separate hot and cold taps. This would have been acceptable if it wasn’t for the case that they were push button and gave a set amount of water. Hence it was impossible to obtain a comfortable water temperature to, for example, wash your face.
The bed ranks as the most uncomfortable I have ever slept in. There appeared to be hardly any depth of material covering the springs in the mattress.
No bin in room
No kettle, coffee, tea etc in room
The sole kettle in the communal kitchen did not work
No pots, pans, crockery (apart from mugs) or cutlery in the communal kitchen
In one of the many (too many) messages that were received it stated the day before I arrived “Please note there is no parking available on site. Please use Park and ride.” This considerably alarmed me because it was the first time I believe I had seen this information. It was not correct – there is visitor car parking (although some distance from the block) at a cost of +/- £3.50 per day.
If you wish to go for an evening out in Swansea without taking the car the buses are plentiful before 8 pm and scarce after.

Staff answered the call quickly and met me to hand over the keys without delays. All my questions were answered politely. The stay was lovely. Room size and preference was met and the location was perfect. The required facilities to make my stay enjoyable was available. I will recommend that others should book this accommodation without delays. The price is very affordable and trust me the experience will be nice too.
I understand that it was summer and the heating couldn't be put on, but Wales is too cold and there was still some cold at night when there is no sun. I would have loved for the heating to be on to make me more comfortable. Other than that, it was a great experience. The room was the right size with all other facilities available to make your stay nice.

Close to the sea and good access to surrounding area
Parking payment meters not working however used the app.
Initially meeting with site contact for keys etc wasn’t easy and could be improved on

Had to upload ID card before arrival, when we arrived nobody to meet us, everything closed. A helpful Security guard spent an hour trying to find where on campus the booking.com reception staff where. Only after he walkied around, building to building shouting where are you Booking.com? Did someone finally appear. In meantime on the contact no, I spoke to someone who claimed to be the manager, who stated that the EU ID card that we uploaded did not have a date of birth, but would not accept that it does, twice on the front and back, even has the place of birth! He insisted he was not going to let us stay, unless we didn't upload it again. But refused to answer why uploading the same ID card that he refused to accept wound change anything. However the person we had now found on site, said the room was ready, so we finally got our room.
The security staff told us that this was always happening.

The room was well appointed with excellent WiFi.
7.0 / 10.0
The room was spacious and it had a desk so I could work comfortably with a sea view, the kitchen was spacious.
The common areas weren't cleaned often, i.e., the bins were without bags for a couple of days, and the bathroom was prone to have water in the floor from the shower and no drain to easily take care of it.

New accomodation which had a good pressured shower and comfortable bed. All you could need from accomodations
Had a communal kitchen with utensils and car parking reasonable costs for 24 hours
