A secluded and charming guest house, helpful and courteous service and the rooms were lovely with en suite and breakfast facilities in room. Only a brief stay but I'd happily stay again and longer

Delta Hotels by Marriott Swansea
Average Hotel in a good location for Business. Check in was slow and Room electrics had two separate faults.

Village Hotel Swansea
The window lock was broken and couldn't open, the toilet seat was loose, the chair has a screw came off and not balance, no fridge for storing cold drink, the facilities didn't mention the age limit so we couldn't go to the sana room as planned when we booked it.

The Grand Hotel Swansea
The staff were great, but the room was disappointing, the pictures made it look bigger and luxurious. Our room was above the bar so the music was loud and we had either thin pillows or lumpy pillows, so my neck ached in the morning
