1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

We booked this hotel as we had a dog and they said she would be accommodated. Having climbed 27 stairs and gone into a very small room we decided to ask family to have her as no garden and onto a main road. We did ask for a back room thinking it would be quieter but not realising that we... More

I stayed just the one night in the last available room, which I took to be a good sign. I was met by a very cheerful host who was friendly and efficient. Parking was easy to find on a quiet residential street round the corner. The room was very comfortable with an almost new en-suite shower and toilet. Breakfast was... More

We spent one night at The Alexander. We were greeted by the owner, a very friendly, charming and efficient man. Our room was spacious and very comfortable, it was spotlessly clean as was the bathroom it had everything we needed and attention had been paid to detail. Breakfast was fresh and tasty with a lovely choice.

We came across the Alexander while visiting our daughter at Swnsea Uni. This is a wonderful place to stay. The owners do everything to make your stay a pleasure. The rooms are large, spotless and light and the breakfast is to say the least brilliant to the extent That the owners on my request obtained Laverbread for me. That going... More

I am a frequent business visitor to Swansea and always opt to stay here. It offers great value for money, all home comforts and fabulous service. I can't think of any hotel anywhere in the World that I look forward to going back to. It's about a 10 minute taxi ride from the Town centre and within easy reach of... More

Stayed at The Alexander in March. Brilliant room, host and breakfast. I stayed in the room directly at the top of the stairs. Fantastic facilities - spotlessly clean bedroom and bathroom. The shower is so big you could have a party in there! Will def return. Many thanks. Sandra

We have just returned from a stay at the Alexander over the New Year holiday and the first thing I'd like to say is what a warm welcome we received. The hotel is in a great location, in between the City centre and the Gower coast, with a number of bars and restaurants on the doorstep. Our room was spacious,... More

I have just returned home after one night at this lovely hotel on the outskirts of Swansea. Before I go on, I just want to say that sometimes there are gems of hotels just on your doorstep. I have driven past this unassuming hotel thousands of times on my way to and from work in Swansea and never given it... More
