8/10 Very good

Hotel was ideal for our stay! Parking and breakfast reasonably priced. Staff on arrival, breakfast and departure were very friendly and helpful.

6/10 Good

All in, the hotel is ok. Definitely needs modernising, but isn’t that bad. Paid £70 for a room on a Saturday night, so can’t complain.

Amazing staff

My stay with the dragon hotel is one of the best experiences I’ve had staying in a hotel.. The staff where absolute high class in there level of professionalism and very friendly also didn’t make you feel uneasy or unwanted there.. I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the vicinity and I will definitely be staying here again 10/10

Dragon Needs A Lift

Great location for a Swansea Centre gig night (thank you Manics, you were amazing as always). Room (401) was functional but tired decor wise...the mattress was softer than I'm used to but the night was very quiet and that supported a decent night's sleep. Breakfast was tasty, particularly excellent sausages. The one (of two) functioning lifts wasn't functioning on Sunday morning - those four flights toting a full trip bag was a pain but manageable for this 69 year old...other guests at breakfast might have found it more problematic.

Hope they found Wayne

Love the 1950’s charm of this hotel, chose to stay here over the premier inn because of that - love the staircase and the nod to past grandeur. The staff are all super friendly and professional which is really appreciated. I want impressed with the wedding party staying at the hotel who felt it appropriate to run through the corridors shouting all night, I hope they found “Wayne” who was clearly lost and in need of finding, so desperate were his friends to locate him that they felt the need to knock on every door at 2am whilst shouting for him. Kind of ruined the vibe and destroyed what was promising to be a good nights sleep.

We had a really good stay And the staff where amazing
Paris, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was shoddy and no hot water available. Heating system was inadequate and the manager kindly moved us to a superior room. The hotel reimbursed us for one nights booking.
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Decent value for the area. We stayed in a Family Room, the room was very spacious and kitted out with nice, modern furniture. The room is a little rough around the edges however, lots of chipped paint, the windows could do with a scrub and the bedding had a couple of small stains. Staff were friendly on check in/check out.
Ethan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, rough round the edges.

Hotel is located perfectly in the middle of Swansea with everything you’d need around you. Unfortunately the property is definitely showing its age. We had wrinkled carpets and a broken sofa in our room. Luckily it was just a base overnight while we did other things, but for a longer stay I wouldn’t have been happy about it. The hotel is really just showing its age and is ready for a refit.
DAVID, 1-night trip
