"The cottage is cosy and warm and has all the necessary facilities to have an enjoyable stay. The kitchen is well appointed, the shower has good pressure, the beds are comfortable and the Netflix (and lots of other channels) worked well. The wifi reception isn’t super strong however it worked fine. There are lovely walks from the property and Neath is close by. There is comprehensive info on local shops, history and restaurants etc. Would definitely recommend."

Top Swansea Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Swansea

10/10 Excellent

"All excellent - Nothing dislike or complain about."

Mercure Swansea Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good Hotel"

The Dragon Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, price and staff. Parking too. We had a room for 3 adults but only had two towels and there was no hot water from the shower. The kettle also didn’t look the cleanest and had limescale. It’s perfect if you want cheap and cheerful for a night out but if you want comfort or are taking older family and friends it misses those final touches"

Morgans Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room very spacious. Very helpful staff. Breakfast was lovely"

Village Hotel Swansea

10/10 Excellent

"I had a truly wonderful experience during my stay. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-maintained throughout my visit. Furthermore, the service provided by the staff was outstanding and very helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a comfortable and pleasant accommodation. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I appreciate the excellent service."

ibis Swansea

8/10 Good

The Dolphin SA1 Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for weekend in Swansea"
