On a whole the hotel was good - breakfast especially. The room was spacious and clean but the bathroom could do with refurbishment, as could the bar, restaurant and lobby. And the lift is very small

Staff were great and welcoming on the front desk. Stayed here due to working and all I can say is the place really does need an uplift. Ranging from elevators, lights, floor, bedroom, showers all outdated and needs new life.

Perfect location!
Booked the Dragon Hotel as it was very close to my daughter’s university accommodation and we wanted to come up before she moves to Swansea next month to familiarise her with her surroundings. We stayed in a triple room, 3 single beds, large TV, bath and shower, toiletries and the fridge was a nice surprise :-) It’s not a 4 star hotel as advertised and yes it could do with some refurb/modernisation but it had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Excellent value for money. Excellent location, close to the train station, Marina, town centre and nightlife. Walking distance to the beach. We will be staying here every time we come to Swansea to visit our daughter over the next 3 years due to the closeness of everything and value for money.

The lobby and staff were great. There is only one working elevator/lift, and it’s tiny (only fits three people with no luggage. Rooms were dated, limited amenities and power jacks.

Looks like management needs to spend some money on upkeep. Thr staff was wonderful. The lift was antiquated and one wasn’t operating at all. And O fit the impression that it’s been out for a while.
