Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The New Swan Hotel is appreciated for its up-to-date and spacious rooms that many find much nicer than they appear in photos, complete with tea and coffee facilities. Guests enjoy the substantial and nicely presented breakfast, and the convenience of having a bus stop right outside for easy access to Swansea, plus nearby takeaway options and a Tesco within walking distance. The on-site pub is a popular spot, though it doesn't serve food. Some guests have mentioned certain rooms can be smaller, such as Room 12, which might feel a bit cramped.

The staff members were very friendly. I found a great atmosphere in the bar area. My room was super clean (I value cleanliness).
The toast tasted like it had a cheap spread. I did not like that it was pre-buttered. The TV was very small and did not seem to work. (I did not pursue fixing it).

The staff were friendly, that i can say. My room was a standard twin room, and it was a good size. Breakfast was AMAZING!!! I enjoyed the veggie option too.
The television in my room was VERY small and did not seem to work. The shower didn't cool down. It was TOO hot. The phone signal was poor, and there was NO wifi in the room.
