Top National Waterfront Museum Hotel Reviews

The Dragon Hotel

8/10 Good

"We visited the area to meet up with family. The price we paid on Expedia was great and not dissimilar to that for Premier Inn/Travelodge, which we would normally have used. I would say that the hotel previously was 4-star, but I wouldn't say it was 4-star today. The room was clean and staff welcoming. Parts of look like it needed attention. But there was some scaffolding up and the restaurant was closed for refurbishment, so they're possibly making some improvements. Only one of the two lifts in reception were working, and they're very small. The air conditioning in our room didn't seem to work, but thankfully the window did open. The toilet paper and tea/coffee were not replaced automatically considering we stayed for 3 nights. TV was not smart (so unable to cast from mobile); only Freeview channels available. Strangely, the room had a small table but no chairs.... In the mornings, the hot water was only slightly warm. However, we did have a pleasant stay, and it's a very convenient location for the shops and eateries."

Morgans Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Quiet rooms. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff"

The Grand Hotel Swansea

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel.Great staff,very friendly and helpful.Really enjoyed our stay and so convenient for the railway station"

Marina View Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely apartment with great views over the Marina and a short walk to the beach and coastal walk. Plenty of bars and good restaurants within 2 to 15 mins walk and lots to see. Only 20 mins walk into the town centre. Pescado restaurant below is fabulous. The apartment has good sized rooms, a well equipped kitchen and internet connect TV. There is free parking over the road arranged by the owner. The block has an elevator though it is only 2 floors up if you want the exercise. We may well go back. Recommend."

Panoramic View

8/10 Good

"Lovely apartment, clean and tidy lovely view. Would benefit from a mirror with light ro do make up and hair. Only 1 wine glass and 1 Prosecco glass. Would have been nice to have a few more tea bags, coffee and sugar and a complementary pint of milk would have been nice"

The Georgian Swansea

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room and great location."

Scenic View

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was absolutely immaculately clean. The beds were comfortable and the was plenty of space to relax in the lounge. The little balcony overlooking the marina was a lovely spot to have a cuppa! The location is very convenient for both the City Centre and the Beach. The host Joan was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely come back to Scenic View."

Meridian Tower Apartment

8/10 Good

"Joan our host was pleasant & helpful, and was flexible wrt our check in. The location is good, with a small supermarket located opposite the apartment block entrance. The is an upmarket restaurant also opposite and another at the top of the building (we didn’t visit either this stay). The view from the top is very good. Our apartment was spacious & comfortable and we found the washing machine very helpful. We didn’t use the kitchen much; no coffee machine, and a couple of instant coffee/tea bags provided. It would have been nice to have had some basic kitchen staples (oil, condiments, etc provided) - but we managed without. The surrounding area is OK but in need of some TLC. Location was good - easy walk to the seaside, shopping area and pubs. Secure parking is available but parking spaces and turning circles are tight (we had a medium sized SUV). Overall a pleasant and convenient stay with a lovely host."

Cwtsh Hostel

8/10 Good

"Ideal for an odd night stay if you’re not going to be in the room much. "
