Great central location

The swan hotel is in a great location, in the centre of Halifax. Opposite is a great curry house. There is street parking for dropping off bags but otherwise you need to park in amultistory carpark a short walk away which isn't cheap . Think we paid about £12 overnight .

Love these older style hotels. There has clearly been recent refurbishment and the reception and staircase look great and in keeping with su a property. The standard room we stayed in was basic and if older style but very clean. Everything worked as expected and we had a great sleep. As there is no on site restaurant the foyer and downstairs area lack a bit of ambience and I would suggest some music be played to make it a bit more welcoming Location on quiet street in centre of town only a 5 minute walk to train and bus station Overall great place and value at this price point.

Old and very dated but comfortable

Very old fashioned hotel was obviously a very old building. Bed was comfy, tea and coffee supplied with plenty of milk and sugar. Main street it is on is noisy with a McDonald's virtually opposite so noisy till late. Here is a dilemma, the parking outside is pay and display, between 8am and 8pm £2 an hour with a maximum stay of an hour and no return for another hour. I arrived at 6.15pm so how am I going to adhere to these rules? Not the hotels fault but it meant I had to be up and out before 8am. The bathroom taps come off in your hand, and no plug on the side of the room the bed is on so charging your phone overnight is a long distance event. I was on the 2nd floor also which was very strenuous on my little old legs. So a comfortable stay but not great.

Basic dated accommodation. No restaurant, therefore no breakfast. We had a midweek stay at a special price, wouldn't have paid the website price. Central for the Piece Hall venue.

No frills low price. Just ok

Very basic overnight stay. Rooms very basic but reflected in price. Overall pretty clean, toilet seat badly stained. Very noisy due to late night/early morning revellers. Check in was a grunt from reception and a card reader. Don’t expect frills. Great location though for Piece Hall

Wasn't expecting great things due to some reviews. Positives, Very large room (2 turned into 1). I found the bed comfy my husband didn't. Clean enough. Staff nice. Cons, very dated bathroom, very very noisy. The room overlooked McDonalds which had a massive delivery at 5.30 am. This lasted over 45 mins. Then lots of noise from the street. Hotel must be aware of this so maybe don't room guests there on the delivery day. The hotel needs more work to update it.
