Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Holiday Inn Express Swansea East By Ihg from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently highlight the hotel's convenient location near the M4 and its proximity to the Brecon Beacons National Park. The breakfast receives praise for its variety and quality, and the presence of a Harvester restaurant next door is a definite plus for many. Rooms generally provide comfortable beds and good blackout curtains, though some have noted that rooms can be on the smaller side and a few guests have mentioned cooking smells when located above the kitchen.

super clean room and lovely view

super clean room tv sofa lovely view return visit

I was in room 240 and loved it. It was so super clean! my partner could relax in front of the tv on the sofa. the view from the room was also lovely. i would definitely stay here again if i could have this room.

The bathroom door connects directly to the shower enclosure. It could trap your fingers painfully.

breakfast offers gluten-free options, including cornflakes, bread, and porridge. the hotel features thick, light-proof curtains in the rooms, a bonus for sleeping well. this can assist people who require specific food and want to sleep properly.

convenient and clean overnight stay

good size clean room quick receptionist

The room was a good size. I found it very clean. the shower worked well, though a hook for bath sheets would have been useful. I missed that. staff quickly sorted out a missing bed for my daughter! the receptionist was very quick.

the breakfast lacked variety! it was the same offerings each day. the absence of a lift was a problem! i also noted no porter was available to help with luggage.
