Paid for 2 nights B&B left after one night, young men naked running around the corridors at 6.30pm, cleanliness of the Hotel was of very poor standard. Flooring dirty, room musky. We are senior citizens and had no alternative but leave, due to unacceptable behaviour, and obviously felt vulnerable, and although management were fully aware of the complaints , no... More

It was cheap but that was about the only positive. If you are driving you can't park within a few hundred yards of it and then you are on the street or in a car park with charges starting at 8am the next morning. I booked a single room and it was dreadful - there was an awful smell from... More

I stayed at the Dolphin Hotel for one night and will never stay there again. I booked a double room with breakfast for £55 - a bargain? The room smelled musty, even though the windows were open. The carpet was filthy - I kicked my shoes off when I got there and my socks were grubby by the time I... More

Had the misfortune to stay at this hotel on Thurs 10th July. I had booked a twin room for my friend and myself, it was our prom. On arriving at the hotel, the receptionist informed me that all the twin rooms had gone and we were allocated two single rooms. On walking into the room, it was as if someone... More

I visited this hotel for one night on a brief visit to Swansea with my boyfriend in May. My first comment is that the instructions to the hotel are a bit misleading as there is no road open to cars outside the property. Nonetheless the location was perfect, it is directly in the town centre of Swansea. This does have... More

Hotel is right in the centre of Swansea- I mean smack bang in the high street, so it's very centrally placed although very noisy at night which, unless you're out partying all night, is going to be rather annoying. Parking was a bit of a nightmare as there was none nearby- or, parking near the hotel was restricted to off... More

Yes the rooms are pretty basic, however location is excellent, right in the centre of town, Shops, Restaurants and Bars on your doorstep. The staff were attentive and room service fast and first class. Food is freshly prepared and they will cater for individual requirements. I was taken ill during a previous visit and was looked after by numerous members... More
