Great location, rough round the edges.

Hotel is located perfectly in the middle of Swansea with everything you’d need around you. Unfortunately the property is definitely showing its age. We had wrinkled carpets and a broken sofa in our room. Luckily it was just a base overnight while we did other things, but for a longer stay I wouldn’t have been happy about it. The hotel is really just showing its age and is ready for a refit.

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.

Sadly not maintained

Despite thanking customers for comments, its evident that this hotel does little to address it warn, dated condition. Old stained carpets, damp smell, shower hot water that does not work, toilet that does not flush normally (needs pumping), non working air fans, generally warn surfaces and non-extent pool, combined with £10 parking charge for customers. Otherwise its a good location, which desperately needs some money spent on it. Clean bed linnen.
