Top Swansea Hotel Reviews

King Arthur Hotel

King Arthur Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I was in the building adjacent to the pub and my room faced the fields - what a view! I had a double room and it was very clean and spacious, although a small bit of feedback, I think the carpets could do with a clean soon but everything else was great. The receptionist checking me in was so friendly. The breakfast was so tasty, the bacon and sausage were thick and chunky, really good quality. The staff at breakfast were attentive and friendly and I loved how everything was locally sourced including the tea. It is in a very rural area, so it might not suit everyone, although for me it was perfect. It’s very well located and it’s about a 20 min drive to Rhossili Bay and the same amount of time to Port Eynon. I would definitely recommend staying there and I hope to visit again soon."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Swansea

8/10 Good
"The Delta Hotels by Marriott proved to be an excellent last-minute choice for our stay on 25-26 September 2026. The hotel's location is a real highlight. It's within easy walking distance of the city centre, Swansea Marina & the seafront, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. It was also particularly convenient for Swansea Bay parkrun, which was one of the reasons for our visit. We were impressed by how quiet the hotel was. Despite its central location, the sound insulation was excellent a & we enjoyed two peaceful nights' sleep. The staff were consistently welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our stay, creating a positive first impression from check-in onwards. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable, offering plenty of room to relax after a day out. While the hotel is well maintained, it is starting to show its age in a few areas. The air conditioning worked well enough but was noticeably louder than in more modern hotels. The main drawback was the bathroom design. The shower is fitted over a particularly high bath, making entry and exit difficult. A refurbishment programme that replaces these baths with modern walk-in showers would make the hotel much safer and more accessible for guests. Overall a great stay."

The Gower Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is on turnoff right on a junction and down a steep narrow lane. Car parking is at the back of the hotel but it has quite a narrow entrance and is up a steep driveway. We managed to get our Mondeo in and up the drive, but it was a careful manoeuvre, We had one of the boutique bedrooms with a king-size. The room was spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and very roomy, with a separate large bathroom with walk in shower and deep bath. Tea/coffee making facilities were included and the wi-fi had a strong signal and good speed. The Hotel has a snug bar and a large restaurant where breakfast was also served. The cooked breakfast offered was very generous and well cooked, and cereals, pastries and fruit were also available. We also had an evening meal which was excellent. The staff were all friendly and polite, and extremely helpful with their advice on places to visit and good places to eat (the restaurant was closed on the Monday when we arrived) The location is lovely and peaceful, within in easy driving to The Mumbles, Langlands and a 30 minute drive drive to beautiful Rhossili."
