Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My first stay was very impressive and reasonably quiet considering the city centre location in the middle of swanseas night life. Everything you need within easy walking distance. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I was only there for one night playing in a weekend sporting competion. I deal for a covenient place to get your head down, nothing fancy it is what is. Highly recommended.

Reasonable price for the hotel. It looks like it's in the process of renovation and benefits from being right in the centre of Swansea.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The friendliness and helpfulness of staff was outstanding. The check in/check out was efficient. The rooms were small but very, very comfortable and clean. Had a great night's sleep. The Swansea market and castle are nearby, shop are an easy few steps away, and there are some great eating options within walking distance. The on-site cafe, Cafe Lucia served great coffee and was a very comfortable, inviting venue. Would stay here again, if we ever get the opportunity to return to Swansea.

Hotel great, staff wasn't on this occasion
We're regular customers at The Dolphin, when visiting Swansea. The hotel is good value for money. However on this occasion, the staff member who check us in was rude and dismissive. Staff can make or break a stay if someone has never been there before. We will return again, hoping for a better experience.

Good city location
Location very good if you want to stay in the city centre and just need somewhere to sleep at a fair price, staff at reception are friendly and very helpful. But this is a no frills hotel and although beds were comfortable and bathroom was basic but clean it does need updating and some TLC. But we were happy enough as we only need to stay the one night and it met our needs. Would stay again but only for a short break.

Great Location
Only a short stay but the staff were excellent and the room comfortable enough for a 6 hour sleep - didn't really have much time to look around as I have a late arrival and an early train out the next morning but seemed clean, comfortable and right in the centre of town with about a 10 minute walk to the station.

Comfortable
The trip was unexpected as Hotels.com managed to mess up our trip to Tenby, by giving the guest house landlady the wrong dates. So we spent our second night of the weekend in Swansea. It was bery comfortable and clean, but there were no fans or AC in the rooms, so we cooked after a shower.
