Decent value for the area. We stayed in a Family Room, the room was very spacious and kitted out with nice, modern furniture. The room is a little rough around the edges however, lots of chipped paint, the windows could do with a scrub and the bedding had a couple of small stains. Staff were friendly on check in/check out.

Paying for parking as a hotel guest is a joke

The only thing that annoyed me and would stop me staying here again is the fact that I as a guest of the hotel had to pay 9 pounds a day for parking in the hotel car park, I am returning to Swansea in 6 weeks but I will not be returning to the dragon hotel because of this.
