Lovely, central faded glory
This is such a lovely place to stay. Right by the station, not too expensive, really nice staff and clean. Sure it is a bit dated and parts of it could do with a refresh but my room had been recently renovated and i loved being so central.

Room was filthy with blood all in the carpet and in the bathroom.
The room was definitely not cleaned prior to our arrival
There was dried blood on the underside of the toilet pan. It was disgusting.
We complained and were moved

The hotel is situated slap bang in the city centre directly across the road from the station. The staff are always awesome, friendly, polite and generally engaging and efficient. I have to say the breakfast is top class, love breakfast in this place. Another pleasant stay.

5 Stars!
Stayed here for a gig at Swansea arena. Highly recommend! Wonderful place. Accommodated partners Hyperacusis by putting us in a room away from the highstreet. Lovely room, very comfortable bed! Lovely housekeeping and fantastic staff. Beautiful and clean! Loved the art deco building. Will be back!!
