Oh dear, the staff are still friendly and helpful.|The room we had was grubby, one of the sockets would not work, the toilet had not been cleaned and there was a horrid smell in the bath room.|It is a shame this has always been our preferred choice when visiting Swansea, I feel we may well not return to this hotel.

We had a lovely 1 night stay here after an awful experience in another hotel in the area. The staff at the Ibis were so friendly and check in and check out was so easy and quick. When we got to our room I was so please I got quit emotional. The rease for our stay was that my husband was going In to singleton hospital for chemo and stem cell transplant and as being from cardiff we need to stay in a clean hotel for the night and clean we got. The food was outstanding and breakfast was great too. Will be definitely staying again

I hadn't stayed in an Ibis for many years, so this was a pleasant surprise. The room was fine, clean and tidy, with a nice shower and toilet. Breakfast was ok, with plenty of choice although the kitchen seemed to struggle to keep up.The hotel is sited on a trading estate next to a busy main road on the outskirts of Swansea, with only a MacDonald's in sight. Quite a long run to anything decent to eat in the evening.

Thought ibis was OK for a budget hotel. Rooms good, breakfast good. Evening meal was a little limited, but not bad really. I stayed for work, and would stay again for sure

A very convenient location. Yes, you can hear traffic at night but if it wasn't near the road it wouldn't be so convenient.The staff are lovely and very helpful. The reception area was very clear and neat.My room was clean. Plenty of towels, toiletries and coffee. No biscuits though:(Loads of parking space and a late check out time. All for an excellent price.
