Delta Hotels by Marriott Swansea
Clean room, a little dated. Noisy heater which woke me up a couple of times. Comfy bed and nice bedding. Staff all polite and friendly. Breakfast was fine. Parking on site £5 a night. Didn’t use the bar - it was quite busy. Lovely view across the bar to The Mumbles

Plenty of room to park by the Guest House & as an occupational therapist, I was impressed that there was excellent provision for people with mobility issues in the room. It’s in a beautiful & peaceful area. Highly recommended. Da iawn!

Ty Nant
Hotel.com act like a scam. I didn't know that the Ty Nant hotel was only for students. After contacting Hotels.com several times, it was impossible to get the deposit back. Therefore, Hotels.com has miscommunication with Ty Nant hotel and I been lie about the refund. Keep up the good work Hotels.com ...
