Right across from the Railway Station makes it an easy place to get to. The breakfast was large and filling. Many choices including continental. The rooms were fine. Its easy to walk downtown to Dylan Thomas Centre, Public Library, Bus Station and restaurants.

The staff at the hotel were very lovely before and during the stay. The room was basic but had everything that was needed. I would have expected a little more for the cost I had a standard room on the third floor. The bathroom was very modern but the main room Needed some updating. Staff were great in organising a...

The kettle was near the beds yet the power points were on the other side of the room. The bathrooms are well fitted with all what you need. I asked... More

Really good value - received a very warm welcome, room was not spacious but more than met our needs as it was well laid out and very clean. As the hotel is very close to the railway station and the city centre we expected it to be quite noisy but in fact we were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed a good... More

Conveniently situated opposite the station, the Grand is one of many businesses in Swansea working hard to improve the High Street area. Had a room in the in main building, which was adequate, but I am informed that rooms in the annexe are better. Breakfast was a very pleasant surprise. All cooked fresh to order with an extensive choice including... More

We stayed here for just one night on a visit to the Swansea Grand theatre. The room was not the best. It was an unusual shape with no wardrobe just a rail with coat hangers, which didn't look very tidy, but was ok for one night. We were in the front of the hotel facing the main street and it... More
