Terrible Hotel
Pros:

Nothing, it is an awful hotel

Cons:

Cleanliness was very poor, in particular the communal toilets in the reception.
But there was a water problem with the heating, so guests had no hot water for the stay. This was poorly communicated and no reimbursement offered to guests who had to take cold showers in Winter. All in all a terrible stay

Fantastic option to stay in Swansea / Port Talbot with the best location, staff and food.
Pros:

The clean modern interior, one would never expect from looking at the hotel from outside.
Rooms spacious, clean and a sea view to die for.
Staff very helpful, friendly and professional. Food also very tasty and a good selection at breakfast. Even gluten free options for celiacs.

Cons:

We were a family of four and unfortunately the sofa bed in our room had a very thin and uncomfortable springy mattress. It was also misaligned, causing me and my daughter to roll in the middle whilst feeling every spring pressing into our bodies. So the two of us did not get a good night sleep. However if they add a topper mattress or change sofa beds, this hotel would be always my choice to stay when in the area.

Cons:

I was disappointed with my stay. The room wasn’t clean, with mess on the curtains and a dirty bathroom sink.

There was also an issue with payment — it normally comes out automatically when we book, but it didn’t this time, and my phone had died so I couldn’t sort it straight away. I explained this, but it wasn’t handled well.

On top of that, the staff member called me “mate,” which felt unprofessional.

Great, would come back again
Pros:

Great location, just a stone’s throw from the beach. The room and bathroom were clean and well-maintained, and the bed was very comfortable. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Cons:

The water pressure in the shower could have been a bit better, but it wasn’t a major issue.
