Morgans Hotel

Morgans Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely first visit at the Morgan’s hotel. We were attending the Paul Smith concert in the Swansea arena. It was an ideal hotel to stay with a short walk to the arena. We stayed in the bar on the way back and enjoyed a comfortable few drinks on the very comfortable leather sofas, We were lucky enough to get a free upgrade with our room and had a suite which was huge! Will definitely stay there again"

"Great location, price and staff. Parking too. We had a room for 3 adults but only had two towels and there was no hot water from the shower. The kettle also didn’t look the cleanest and had limescale. It’s perfect if you want cheap and cheerful for a night out but if you want comfort or are taking older family and friends it misses those final touches"

The Diplomat Hotel and Spa

The Diplomat Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good
"I considered giving this hotel 3–3.5 stars, but the excellent staff genuinely lift it to a solid 4. We stayed three nights in early August with our two children and had a large room with two king beds. Housekeeping missed two items (a glass of stale cider and a pair of socks), which the receptionist quickly resolved. Otherwise, the room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Breakfast had limited vegetarian options, but the team—especially Gainsley—looked after us brilliantly, providing vegetarian sausages daily and remembering our needs. Dinner also included thoughtful off‑menu vegetarian dishes. My wife enjoyed a relaxing massage, and although the pool is small, it was fine during our stay. The main issue was the mattresses in Room 51, which were extremely squeaky—loud enough to wake us despite being heavy sleepers. With two kids moving around, restful sleep was difficult. We raised this at checkout and suggested staff test the beds themselves. Despite this, the staff are outstanding—warm, proactive, and genuinely caring. Fixing housekeeping lapses and replacing those mattresses would make the stay significantly better."
