My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was excellent, just across from Primark and a short walk to The Grand Theatre. However, I did notice some wear and tear in the room.

Dining

I was a bit disappointed with the dining experience. The continental breakfast was underwhelming, delivered in a paper bag without proper plates. It lacked the variety I expected for a continental breakfast.

Facilities

The hotel offers basic facilities, but nothing extraordinary stood out during my stay.

7.4/10

The hotel had a convenient location in the city center, right next to Swansea market and close to Primark and M&S. The rooms were a bit noisy and warmer than expected due to the bathroom radiator, but for the price, it was acceptable. The staff, although not the comfiest, tried their best to accommodate our needs.

The hotel's location was excellent for sightseeing, shopping, and meeting friends with a boat in the marina. However, be prepared for a walk to the NCP car park if it's raining.

Dining

The dining experience was decent, but there is room for improvement. The Italian grilled meat was satisfactory, but there are better dining options around like the continental breakfast at a nearby cafe.
