These 2 nights were without doubt the worst hotel stay I have endured for 3 decades. |The room was cold, damp and dirty. The bathroom was dirty and poorly plumbed. …

I stayed at The Dragon Hotel a couple of months ago which was probably my biggest mistake on my visit to Swansea , I've attempted to complain directly to the owners about my stay without ANY luck on a response. …

We booked The Dragon Hotel because the reviews were ok and there was a pool. Don’t be fooled, when we asked at check in about the pool we were told “No”! The rooms in the hotel are quite clean but very tired and smell strange. …

We stayed at The Dragon Hotel 2 years ago and things weren't good then and they are worse now. Only one of the two tiny lifts working. The poor chamber maids with their large trolly can't fit in with one guest. As an elderly lady I am choosing to climb the stairs to the 4 floors because the lift is so slow. Breakfast is plentiful but had been sitting on the warming trays for ages, slowly congealing.
