    Even with closed windows, there was street noise coming in from people and motorists outside the window. Other rooms may be better for noise on a Sunday night. We were in room 101 and did not sleep well.

    Great location, right across the way from the railway. Restaurant and bar are beautiful. Breakfast was lovely!

    The location was great but town itself is needs an uplift. Around the hotel there were derilect buildings. At the back of the hotel was a dumping ground. The entire hotel grounds should have been upkept. Breakfast options were a joke, as the chef was not versatile, so only one option given. Ordered three different types of breakfast options and was given only one. Sad!!

    Inside the hotel was amazing!!

    I booked as I was told I can do a late checkout. This had to be done at the property and not prior so I booked a later travel time. One of the staff was rude and a blatant racist. Said it wasn’t available for me and that was that. So I ended up having to kill several hours because my train was later in the day

    The bathroom sometimes smelt like sewage. Buttons were missing off the light switches on the wall. I’m someone who loves to have AC and was thrilled when the room had AC… The problem was that there was no remote control for it, I spent every night trying to figure out how to change the mode on the AC, it wasn’t doable. It was on heating mode constantly but on the lowest setting possible. In some ways it was nice, in other ways I woke up sweating and sticking to the bed sheets. Other than that it wasn’t a bad stay, but I would recommend getting better tvs with Netflix available, my stay cost a total of £501 for 3 nights, it was good and it had its luxury vibe to it. But I’ve stayed in other places for a cheaper price with better tv and ac options. I would love to stay here again but maybe if there has been improvements made. The walls are also quite thin so you will hear doors closing and people talking, walking around etc. the toilet seat was also wobbly and broken so that might need replacing. But other than that it’s still a lovely hotel.

    I loved the spa bath and how big and comfy the bed was! Staff were always friendly and if we asked for anything nothing was too much.

    When booking through booking.com I was led to believe I was getting a better room than just the standard. I thought I was receiving a room with a bath tub in the room etc

    I liked the fact you had air con in the room that is a life saver as I'm a very hot sleeper! :)

    The only problem we had was that other guests were noisy going to their rooms at approximately 1.30am but that isn’t the fault of the hotel it’s just down to inconsiderate people!

    The location is great right next to the train station & there is a pay for car park not even a minute away (£5 for 24 hours). The shopping centre and Wind Street (for food/drinks) is 5-10 walk away. The hotel was lovely with a large bar & outdoor seating. We didn’t eat at the hotel so I can’t comment on food except for the afternoon tea we saw going out which looked fantastic. Our room, which was in the back of the hotel, wasn’t very big but more than adequate for our needs & we weren’t concerned we had no view. The room was spotlessly clean as was the bathroom (supplied with mini toiletries) & the bed was very comfortable. There is an air conditioner but it is noisy to run. There is an ironing board, iron & hairdryer in the room along with a kettle & tea & coffee facilities.

    205 was a little small compared to 203 that we stayed in before.

    Staff are very accommodating. The breakfast staff, the lovely lady with dark hair - can’t remember her name. She was so exceptionally dedicated and very professional.

    I had a lovely one night stay. The room was spotless, the bed was so comfy and fresh white sheets. The shower had plenty of pressure which was great.There was plenty of tea and coffee and a couple of packets of biscuits. The only downside was the room being very warm but there was a window which I could open which did let a bit of air in but you could hear the noisy traffic outside which isn’t the hotels fault. I was on the second floor and could hear guests in the room above walking around but that did not affect my stay at all. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I really enjoyed my stay so I will return when in Swansea again.
