Taking up the hotel's Sunday golf offer was a win win deal. 2 great courses, excellent room and breakfast all for £89!!. In addition the brasserie offered more outstanding value. All this combined with good parking and the friendliest and most helpful staff. One downside is the rather steep bar prices.

Stayed for 3 nights midweek. Location is central so easy access etc. Car park - not lots of spaces but safe enough if you get a space. Rooms - stayed on top floor, front side of hotel. Not as quiet as I would have liked due to main roads in city center at front of hotel. Expect the back of... More

We stayed with another couple of friends on a getaway type break, 2 nights b&b plus dinner on the first night. The dinner was a full 3 course meal in the Brasserie from the table d'hote menu, and was a very good standard. You could if you prefer use the value of the meal against the a la carte menu,... More

Having stayed in many hotels throughout the UK in a work capacity, it was most surprising at the warm and inviting welcome I received throughout my 3 day stay. Everyone from receptionists, waiters, leisure centre staff and beyond were extremely friendly and went out of their way to ensure my stay was a pleasant one. The food, especially in The... More

The staff are polite and I feel that it is good value for money. The hotel is situated right in the city centre, so very convenient. It can be a little... More

Spent three nights at the Dragon on business. This is externally a rather bland 60s building in Swansea city centre. Internally, the hotel, which is now part of the Macdonald group, has been extensively refurbished and offers good quality business accommodation. Public areas are smart and attractive. Reception is inviting. The bar is comfortable, as is the restaurant. Bedroom was... More
