We stayed in the oriental suite. Totally over the top decor in a good way. Very comfortable bed in a very spacious apartment. Nice selection of food and drink for breakfast. Good location for eating/drinking and access to the Gower Peninsula. The discount at the excellent Brew Stone a bonus. You wont forget staying here.

I stayed at this hotel and it was a traumatic experience. The only blanket without a lens to cover yourself with was also used by other guests. I have never had anything like this happen to me. 👎

What can i say about the Mirador Hotel. A strange little treasure in the most unlikely of places. We stayed in the venetian room and boy! the effort that they made to make our stay a fun and unforgettable time was apparent. We were completely blown away. the fridge was full with an assortment of goodies, including a small bottle of prosecco (thank you) Their restaurant recommendations were spot on. Well worth the money.

I stayed at the Mirador for 2 nights to attend my son’s graduation. The place is cute and unique. Very clean rooms and toilet. They had many things at the little refrigerator in the room from milk, to cereal, butter, cheese, smoked salmon to drinks. The room is a bit small but it had everything I needed. Iron and iron board, hair dryer and a nice balcony.I loved how they had a nice chocolate bowl at the entrance .. I would say it’s a cozy place ..Would I go there again ?Yes I would ..

I knew the decor would be OTT from images when booking but this b&b is looking worn and tired now. Over powering scent of air freshener as you walk through the door. Carpets worn, greeted by a friendly barking dog.

Situated just one mile from Swansea's bustling city centre, yet on the edge of the infamous Gower Peninsular, The Mirador lay bespoke; tailor made for your requirements. Offering a subtle break from the norm, The Mirador boasts of free High Speed WiFi, microwaves, TVs with Netflix in every room. Its uniqueness is apparent and appealing, its divergence is different from all others, yet it remains unquestionably Custom made for customers.
