Top Swansea Hotel Reviews
Morgans Hotel
"We had a lovely first visit at the Morganโs hotel. We were attending the Paul Smith concert in the Swansea arena. It was an ideal hotel to stay with a short walk to the arena. We stayed in the bar on the way back and enjoyed a comfortable few drinks on the very comfortable leather sofas, We were lucky enough to get a free upgrade with our room and had a suite which was huge! Will definitely stay there again"
Delta Hotels by Marriott Swansea
"All excellent - Nothing dislike or complain about."
Myrtle Cottage Vacation Rooms
"Had a great experience. Very laid-back vibe, but the hosts are always on hand if you need anything. Took the time to answer my questions about how to explore the local area. Recommendations were spot on. Perfect spot to explore the coast of the Gower Peninsula; the cliffs are a short drive or bus ride away. Two pubs right next door both do lovely food."
Mercure Swansea Hotel
"Good Hotel"
The Dragon Hotel
"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 didnโt look the cleanest and had limescale. Itโs 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"
The Gower Hotel
"The staff were not excellent. Friendly, helpful and lovely to chat to. Great property in a beautiful part of the world"
Parc Le Breos House
"Beatiful area and food and staff"
Patricks Boathouse
"Lovely welcome, beautiful room and excellent location. We are most definitely going to be returning guests."
Village Hotel Swansea
"I had a truly wonderful experience during my stay. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-maintained throughout my visit. Furthermore, the service provided by the staff was outstanding and very helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a comfortable and pleasant accommodation.
