Overall stay was great. The only issue we came across was the lift. Was very small and myslef and partner couldnt use the lift together as we were to heavy for the left to move. Had 2 lifts but in the time we stated only 1 was ever in use. We were on the 5th floor and we used the stairs coming down. Would stay here again though.

Still an excellent hotel.

Clean hotel with good service. Building and decor need refreshment. No bulb in the lamp in my children's room (family room). Not a massive issue so I didn’t mention it to staff, who I'm sure would have sorted it. Bathroom excellent and loads of room. Breakfast buffet not available but hotel wasn't busy and hot breakfast was available on request. We miss the swimming pool. Brilliant location.

The hotel staff were very good, the room clean & beds good. We had a good night with undisturbed sleep & a hearty breakfast. The hotel building is in need of some TLC though, threadbare/frayed stair carpets, the chair in our room needed reupholstering, paint work, woodwork & door frames particularly at suitcase height were bashed & chipped. The overall impression is good though - clean & pleasant smelling, but on closer inspection it is tired & needs refreshing.

The gym was closed and the reception said they had sold all the kit. Only one lift was working as the other had been faulty for over 2 weeks. The room was tired as the decor is very old style. Breakfast was interesting as the coffee machine was faulty, food was ok but everything in tbe dinning room is very old looking and tired! The staff are all polite and do as much as they can.. I stayed here some years ago and it was lovely, it has gone down in standards and I would unfortunately not stay again and would actively look to stay elsewhere in Swansea.
