Great hotel. Best bed. Very clean. Steps away from train station, which was convenient for us. We walked around town looking for a pub... Not too many that are close. Hotel has a nice restaurant, but limited evening options. The area around was a bit seedy... Wouldn't want to be out late at night.

Clean but service not the best across the board
Service was a mixed bag. Some of the front of house staff made you feel like you were disturbing them, the lady that checked me in, however, was lovely. The other woman was not exactly welcoming. Service in the bar area was pretty good, food was nice. Room was very clean, fairly compact but had an awful view. Had requested a quiet room but didn't drop lucky on that score with noise. Housekeeping were out and about knocking doors early on a Saturday morning so no chance of a lie in! All in all, it's convenient for the station and the rooms are clean, but not sure I'd stay again

The staff were very helpful & polite. We would have liked to have had toast with our breakfast. The only toast available was sourdough which we did not like. Everything else was excellent. Thank You

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Good points: Staff are homely and friendly, bar is lively in the evening (Saturday) and breakfasts are brilliant. Great location, right next to the station, handy town centre car park just £5 for 24hrs. Walking distance to town centre/pubs/eateries etc. No real bad points but Immediate area is a bit lairy in the evening and hotel looks scruffy from the outside and odd that delivered goods are left in public areas. Layout is odd also with the kitchen remote from the dining area and food carried through the reception lobby. Our room was 'odd' too, triangular shape with an en-suite but the bath was in the bedroom! Wonky toilet roll holder, annoying dripping ballcock in the cistern and no sockets by the bed (for phone/ipad charging). All that said, a pleasant stay and just a 10 minute Uber to the Swansea Arena (cost about £14).

The rooms need some attention to detail, such as touching up paint, tatty chair in the room. Overall it’s a nice hotel but it doesn’t live up to the photos online. The food and bar area was lovely.

Airconditioner is not workable but without advance notice, and need to change from a twin beds room to a double room, but the double room is quite small and no refrigerator.

Beds were comfortable but room was a double not a twin. Good selection of teas, coffees, biscuits No comfortable chairs in the room to sit on. Remote control is a bit broken couldn't get Netflix only just the normal channels. No non slip mat in the shower. No toilet brush Location is really great for train station.
