I stayed at this hotel back in the summer and had a wonderful stay, the room was fantastic, modern and a lovely big comfortable bed. But this stay was a bit different. The room we were placed in was quite dated, appeared that we were placed in an area of the hotel which was not as modern as the other parts of the hotel/ rooms which are advertised online. Bedroom/bathroom itself was quite basic, appeared to have wear and tear and could do with some TLC! I did find the bed quite uncomfortable and hard and didn’t have that great of a sleep. I found the bedroom absolutely boiling during the middle of the night, turned the thermo on the radiator all the way down and opened the window which helped quite minimally. But having to open the window meant we could hear people walking/shouting/singing past our bedroom window all hours of the morning. I think this may have been just a fluke and just an unfortunate case of being unlucky. The staff were amazing, polite and really friendly. The hotel itself is beautiful and the restaurant is great. I wouldn’t let this put people off staying at this wonderful hotel, I would just recommend that if you want the luxurious element of the stay, IE the room then make sure you book what you want exactly!

Rooms were spotless and well kept, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Of particular note was the lovely Wendy, the housekeeper who helped us with a room discrepancy. I regret that i didn't catch the name of the lovely blonde staff member at the front desk who also helped us with our room without delay or stress. Everyone was exceptionally kind and warm and the local area was beautiful even in the rain!

My stay at The Grand Hotel Swansea was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful, the facilities were clean and comfortable, and the location is excellent — right next to the station, which makes everything very convenient. The pub was also great — lively atmosphere, good drinks, and a nice place to relax after a day out. Just one thing to note: if you prefer a room where you can open the window, make sure to mention it when booking, as not all rooms allow this. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I would definitely stay again.

The word Grand, is simply that specific to this property - our room faced the train station drop off are - so very noisy. Carpets in halls, were old, warn & in need of replacing. we felt that Swansea in general, is somewhat depressed. To us, not a place we would recommend visiting/staying - SPA007
