While the cleanliness could be improved, the location is very close to my workplace, which is convenient.

This is more like a Motel, not a hotel with bare minimum amenity. This hotel have no lobby. You would have check-in with Cafe downstairs. The hotel room have no refrigerator and AC. You would have to keep the window open all night during the summer. I don’t know why they still keep the bathroom heater on in the middle of July? You will be staying on second floor(only floor that’s open now), the noise from the cafe downstairs and the street throughout the night. (bring earplugs) The room was not very clean, we found soda can under the bed. The only advantage, it is close the bus station and city center.

The room wasn't really clean and just below standard for the price paid for. Breakfast options were below standard and there could have been hot meal options like an English breakfast.

The hotel is situated at a very strategic place. It's very close by the bus station. The ambience is very nice. The hotel is clean and pleasant. I stayed in a double bedded room. The breakfast was good. Overall, I had a pleasant stay.

Even cheaper if you book it directly. Brilliant staff, but there's construction outside, very noisy in the early morning and late night.

Great value for money. Nothing is luxury but if you just need somewhere to sleep in the heart of Swansea you can't go wrong here. Great location, friendly staff and good basic facilities. Happy I stayed here.

The hotel was very noisy and I could barely sleep. The carpet was very old with stains on it. The bathroom shower curtain was equally old and stained. There were no charging wall sockets by the bed. If you are looking for a short, quick overnight stay, you may be able to endure the very poor service but for the price of a room, one is better off paying a little more to get better value.

Hotel was very clean, well located and staff were communicative and helpful. The hotel is a little dated and there were minimal amenities in the room itself, but everything worked and functioned as expected. Only real complaint was the very small bed, but we slept well enough.
