Decent value for the area. We stayed in a Family Room, the room was very spacious and kitted out with nice, modern furniture. The room is a little rough around the edges however, lots of chipped paint, the windows could do with a scrub and the bedding had a couple of small stains. Staff were friendly on check in/check out.

Although arriving early the reception was wonderful with them holding our bags until the room was ready to check into. The two wonderful women on reception made it a breeze to check in as usual. The receptionist on leaving on the other hand just glazed over our issues* with an unsympathetic sorry. *Lights in the entrance of room not working, A screeching from above every 10 minutes during the night* We usually have a lovely time here but this visit fell short

Great location & its 24 hour parking so was good for a one night visit & a bit of shopping. Only thing that let it down was the room. It wasnt very tidy, there was a spoon & a receipt on the floor by the bed, the one white cup was dirty (which we didnt see until the morning of going to use it). The mirrors were stinking. It just could have looked a lot better.

Paying for parking as a hotel guest is a joke

The only thing that annoyed me and would stop me staying here again is the fact that I as a guest of the hotel had to pay 9 pounds a day for parking in the hotel car park, I am returning to Swansea in 6 weeks but I will not be returning to the dragon hotel because of this.

Hotel is clean but double bed was two singles pushed together (different heights) and room was very cold. Generally in poor condition as well - fire plan was hanging off the back of the door!

Not great

The only redeeming features of this hotel were that the bed was clean and comfortable, and the staff were lovely. The condition of the room was terrible, I did not want to walk around without something on my feet, the carpet was disgusting. The bathroom window didn’t shut properly so the bathroom was about 15 degrees colder than the room. Breakfast, whilst free, I sent it back, it was cold, dried up and just bad. The waiter knew it, he recommended a place opposite that did a good breakfast. I don’t usually complain, but I stay in around 30 hotels a year and this one was remarkable for all the wrong reasons.

Friendly staff and clean rooms. Within walking distance to shops. The hotel is near to a couple of halal restaurants which is really great for us. Will definitely stay at this hotel when we next in Swansea.

4* Dragon Experience

Lovely staff and great location. Breakfast was very good, room was clean and tidy, only downside was the single beds. They were far too small, had to lay on my side and if rolled would fall out of the bed. Not very comfortable, but everythi g else was very good.
