Prices reflects what you pay. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. Place is dates and could use some love and tender care. Breakfast was not special. Coffee was not good and the meal was very basic. Better to go outside for breakfast for better value for your money.

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!

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.

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
