The worst view I’ve ever had from a room window 316. Toilet was difficult to flush. Loud scraping noise during night sounded like a bed overhead being moved or it could have been noise from lift! Breakfast hot food was dried up no option to have any fresh cooked eggs but after complaining the coffee machine wasn’t working one of the waiters kindly got me one.

We have stayed at The Dragon many times. On checking in we were recognised by the receptionist which was very nice. We were given an upgrade to a lovely room with a separate lounge area. As we were quite tired from our last few days, this was lovely - we chilled out and watched a film with a few drinks. Lovely hotel, room, staff and breakfast. It is normally our first choice when wanting to be in Swansea City Centre.

Lovely when u enter reception . The ceiling in my room was covered in flaking paint due to damp and i sat in bar area for 10 minutes and still no sign of a bartender so left.. then went back after food and drinks elsewhere to be keep awake until 5am with a party and banging in toom room next to us. Then soon as i managed to drop off i was woken by cleaners banging and slamming. I know they got a job to do by check out aint until 11 so u think some consideration would be had
