Olubunmi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel staff were very good, the room clean & beds good. We had a good night with undisturbed sleep & a hearty breakfast. The hotel building is in need of some TLC though, threadbare/frayed stair carpets, the chair in our room needed reupholstering, paint work, woodwork & door frames particularly at suitcase height were bashed & chipped. The overall impression is good though - clean & pleasant smelling, but on closer inspection it is tired & needs refreshing.

nice and clean
Simon, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check-in and check-out were incredibly quick and hassle-free, which made the whole experience smooth from the start. The room had everything I needed, and the bath and shower were both perfect - clean, modern, and really relaxing. I also had a lovely view over Swansea, which was a nice bonus. All in all, a great stay, and I’d be more than happy to come back again. Highly recommended!
Ben, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great staff - sub standard facilities

This hotel has 5 star staff but 2 star facilities. The reception looks good when you arrive. However - when you get to the rooms , they are substandard old and dated. The shower wafer did not even achieve the standard temperature. Breakfast was horrible. Cheep food the tasted nasty. There were so many signs that the owners do not spend any money on maintenance or providing a good service. The last point I found funny. They play Spotify music over breakfast - but even this is the free version of Spotify with adverts. Oh and parking is a cramped bin yard. Honestly - best avoided
Tony, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room 509. Absolutely disgusting. Chairs were stinking dirty. Carpet very bumpy, desk missing its front, windows had gaps at the top so very noisy. 1 star room. .
Paul, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was really lovely and decent. Staff was really welcoming. Definitely stay there again
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel is old and in need of modernisation. The hotel only has 2 lifts, but only 1 lift was working and this would only hold 2 people. With the hotel being 7 floors ment waiting a long time for a lift.
