10/10 Exceptional

Stayed one night after a work event in Swansea. Decor is dated and could do with a coat of paint in the rooms. But clean and a perfectly good budget hotel. Breakfast was included in my booking and had the added surprise that I could have it delivered to my room! Would stay again!

If you’re ever in Swansea visit, PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. They charge you an additional £100 security deposit. You’re better off staying at the premier inn down the road

Very nice, clean & neat rooms but very unstable wifi signal doesn't add up to the positive experience
Petr, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I’ve stayed at The Dolphin twice for a boy’s night out in Swansea, and I’ve got to say both stays have been absolutely perfect. The location is fantastic with everything within crawling distance and the staff have always been so friendly. They consistently beat the price of the Premier Inn and Travelodge as well. My room last night was absolutely spotless and exactly what I needed after a night partying on Wind Street. All my mates stayed in the Dolphin as well and all said the same thing. Thank you Dolphin for giving us middle aged men a warm, comfortable, and reasonably priced place to sleep after our Swansea night out! We’ll be back again!

The hotel claims it has on-site parking but in fact it doesn't. The nearest car park is a multi-storey public car park that requires a 5-10 mins walk. I was misled to choose the hotel.

Avarage hotel

I travelled solo. Room was small and tired. Quite clean. Clean bed sheets and towels. Breakfast was drop to a door in paper bag. Just toasts and marmalade, yogurt and etc. Not english breakfast how i expected. If i knew that i wouldn't pay extra for it.

Trip to Swansea for Football

The hotel was friendly. The service was good. There is some refurbishment going one closing off the third floor but no noise. Do not order breakfast unless you want a very simple breakfast. The little device to allow you to fill the sink in the bathroom did not work. I reported this.
