"Lovely staff, sits in a quiet area of the city so very little outside noise, it's not far away from the M4 so it makes an ideal base camp if you're exploring areas outside of Swansea."

"Unfortunately it was a little noisy outside due to locals . The work going on at the moment made the hotel look unwelcoming from the outside but fine when inside . The air freshener in the hallways may need a different sense as I found it a little overpowering. Staff were super and very friendly."

"Great location, price and staff. Parking too. We had a room for 3 adults but only had two towels and there was no hot water from the shower. The kettle also didn’t look the cleanest and had limescale. It’s perfect if you want cheap and cheerful for a night out but if you want comfort or are taking older family and friends it misses those final touches"
