Top Swansea Bay Hotel Reviews

The Dragon Hotel

8/10 Good

"We visited the area to meet up with family. The price we paid on Expedia was great and not dissimilar to that for Premier Inn/Travelodge, which we would normally have used. I would say that the hotel previously was 4-star, but I wouldn't say it was 4-star today. The room was clean and staff welcoming. Parts of look like it needed attention. But there was some scaffolding up and the restaurant was closed for refurbishment, so they're possibly making some improvements. Only one of the two lifts in reception were working, and they're very small. The air conditioning in our room didn't seem to work, but thankfully the window did open. The toilet paper and tea/coffee were not replaced automatically considering we stayed for 3 nights. TV was not smart (so unable to cast from mobile); only Freeview channels available. Strangely, the room had a small table but no chairs.... In the mornings, the hot water was only slightly warm. However, we did have a pleasant stay, and it's a very convenient location for the shops and eateries."

"We had a great stay! The property was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The essentials were all thoughtfully provided, including plenty of fresh towels, which was really appreciated. The check-in process was seamless thanks to the clear and detailed instructions from the host. The location was excellent, with shops, restaurants, and other amenities just a short distance away. On-street parking was always available, making it very convenient to come and go. Overall, a fantastic place to stay, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it or return in the future."

Other attractions near Swansea Bay

A historic stone castle with ruins and a clear blue sky.

Oystermouth Castle

8.4/10 (36 reviews)

Oystermouth Castle occupies a particularly atmospheric vantage point, on a tall limestone ridge that enjoys sweeping views out over Swansea Bay. Built of Norman stone during the 12th Century, it sadly fell into disuse and disrepair from the Middle Ages onward, after a turbulent history, and in paintings it was often portrayed as a romantic ruin, pleasant to look at, but of little interest besides. Now all of that has changed.
