I stayed in this hotel for several weeks. My room was on the top floor. The room had been furbished newly. There were two single beds in my room. The room was tiny for two single beds. The main problem was with the bathroom. It was a real mess. Some guests used the bathroom badly.

Stayed here with 3 of my mates and had a fantastic time. Came down for a night out to see one of my friends who moved to Swansea and was surprised at how good the night life was. …

Rooms are falling apart, mattress was touching the floor because the bed was in such a state. One of the wardrobe doors were missing, hasn’t been updated since the 70s - the photos are not of the rooms you rent. …

Not brilliant but good enough for £40 a night for 2 including breakfast. Excellent location and night life. Rooms are basic but not as bad as some reviews on here and i would come back. Very friendly and accommodating and breakfast was tasty and filling.
