4.0 / 10.0

The hotel was clean and room was very good. Slept good. Only thing was tub was too high for me with an injured knee. One of the reading lights didn’t work. Front desk staff very friendly, cheerful and quite efficient on checking in. I would stay at this hotel again.

1.0 / 10.0

Unpleasant persons who worked there except for a young girl in the breakfast. Bad service. Very hot rooms.

4.0 / 10.0

Staff were excellent. For the price, these rooms are very, very poor. Carpets and walls were stained and looked generally shabby. No hairdryer. Not the fault of the staff but generally really, really noisy - doors banging, people shouting (the main doors were supposed to be locked at midnight but people were stll shouting up and down corridors at 2am). The towels smelt as if they'd not been dried properly too. Won't stay again.

6.0 / 10.0

Poor appearance. Hotel needs updating.

Overall the hotel is ok the main problem we had is because of the heat we had to have the window open so could hear everything outside , because the window was open the door to our room kept rattling constantly it was hard to sleep

Stayed one night after a work event in Swansea. Decor is dated and could do with a coat of paint in the rooms. But clean and a perfectly good budget hotel. Breakfast was included in my booking and had the added surprise that I could have it delivered to my room! Would stay again!

If you’re ever in Swansea visit, PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. They charge you an additional £100 security deposit. You’re better off staying at the premier inn down the road

8.0 / 10.0

Single rooms are a good saving for a coach driver waiting over a weekend. The room had everything I needed & a nice view. Not flashy, but well maintained. The only downsides were that the TV required paying an outside provider, however with excellent WiFi, I just used U-Tube & BBC Sounds on my mobile phone. Also the cup was a bit small for my requirements.

3.0 / 10.0

The hotel requires a £150 deposit! In cash you get it a checkout once the room hss been checked, use a credit card and it will be refunded within 3- 5 days! Totally unacceptable I am not a room wrecker and it is not Falaraki! Also I paid extra for a Superior room.not sure what was superior about it - would not stay again.

5.0 / 10.0

It was a really nice place no compaints clean cheap bar downstairs didntbtry the food was just a sleep over

10.0 / 10.0

My first stay was very impressive and reasonably quiet considering the city centre location in the middle of swanseas night life. Everything you need within easy walking distance. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I was only there for one night playing in a weekend sporting competion. I deal for a covenient place to get your head down, nothing fancy it is what is. Highly recommended.

I have never seen such a small single bed in my life not only was extremely uncomfortable but trying to lie down on it was like trying to lie on a rope. My arms and shoulders had nothing to rest on as the bed was so narrow.

4.0 / 10.0

Pretty basic hotel, dated decor, but still clean and perfectly pleasant. I stayed on a Monday night so was quite quiet, but I wonder if it would be that quiet in other days.

5.0 / 10.0

Very nice people running hotel, helpful & kind.

4.0 / 10.0

Although the hotel was satisfactory, I was somewhat disappointed with the £100 deposit. While I understand that such deposits are customary, it would have been beneficial if the hotel had explicitly indicated that contactless payment was not an option. The only payment methods available were chip and pin or card number. Fortunately, I had my card number readily available, as I would have been unable to check in without it. In 2024, it is perplexing that contactless payment is not a standard feature.

4.0 / 10.0

Decent hotel with very friendly staff. Cheap and affordable if you need somewhere to stay for the night

I stayed due to travel disruption. Very convenient for the station, friendly and helpful receptionist, clean and comfortable room with all I needed for the night.

4.0 / 10.0

The staff were friendly. Basic hotel accommodation. Very clean and well maintained. Decor a bit dated. The only down side was the very thin duvet and no extra blankets or duvets available in the room.
