ibis Swansea

The room was a little noisy — another guest had dogs that barked and there was lots of banging around 11pm. The location was also kind of the middle of nowhere. It worked for me as it was between town and the bay campus, but there isn't anything around, unless you count McDonalds.

They always provide the ground floor rooms looking at the parking where it is not comfortable to open the window.

The hotel room felt tired and in need of a refurb. We stayed in an ‘accessible twin’ room which suited our needs (limited mobility but not wheelchair user) to help future disabled visitors I do need to outline some issues. The room was a fair size but the beds were pushed together and unless you basically want to share a bed with the person you’re with (which I’m assuming most people who book twins don’t) then there wasn’t really enough room on either side to get a wheelchair down and transfer. There were also really limited plug sockets in the room and most (a cube extension cord and single socket) were at floor level with only one at bed level but this was at head/pillow height above a bed. The reading light lamps had dangling cords over the beds. This was ok for us but some might struggle. The pillows were all rock solid and the mattresses might be a bit soft for some wheelchair users to transfer. The ‘accessible’ bathroom had a heavy door that swung shut to get into as well as a sizeable ledge to get over (the hotel entrance and room door also had big ledges). It was a wet room with a shower chair but it had no shower curtain so the whole floor got soaked and there was no room to fit a wheelchair and grab bars seemed quite low to aid safe transfer to the chair - there were also no pull down rails in the shower area just one at the toilet. The shower was very high up and impossible to move up or down on its bar. I suspect transfer from a wheelchair to the toilet would also be very difficult because you’d need to park in the shower area which had an angled floor for drainage. There was a decent space under the sink to pull a wheelchair into but it was taken up with 3 different bins.
One final frustration was the tv remote. It had very small buttons that seemed to work using prayer and luck rather than pressure.

unusual traffic in the carpark lots of people just hanging around in cars sitting and talking to what i presume is staff. also noticed a very strong smell of cannabis so had to keep my window shut. we were staying at this hotel by the recommendation of singleton hospital as my partner was having a surgical procedure and we had travelled all the way from north wales we also spoke other people who were in a group of people having the same procedure on different dates and they when talking to them they also stayed at the ibis and said they also smelt cannabis and noticed unusual traffic in the carpark

Nothing really, it is what it is.

Cheiro a fritos na entrada do hotel, algo longe do centro

My room was facing the main road which was very busy and noisy.

I bit far away, but 25 min walking will get you into city center

Free morning coffee

Même si c est précisé le coût de 10 £ pour un check in avant l heure est un peu cher

I have no complaints. For a cheap place to rest your head the Ibis swansea is perfect for a solo traveller or a couple on a city break.
