The Dolphin SA1 Hotel

Right in the centre of town, friendly staff. Unfortunately no on site parking

No parking on site

A very warm welcome, very polite staff throughout the stay. Very good location not far walking distance to the beach or the local attractions

Clean tidy nice rooms nice staff great stay

Stayed for 3 weeks comfortable clean good service

Its a good hotel if you're in Swansea for a night out and come back very drunk! For us as a city centre location to see family it was fairly uncomfortable. Awful bed, really noisy and breakfast is truly terrible. Glad we didn't pay the full price for this as was very expensive for what it was. Staff friendly and helpful though.

super friendly, really comfortable bed, clean rooms, good price too

Bed was uncomfortable the spring were coming through the cheap mattress- we didn’t sleep all night people running and shouting in the corridor banging doors- it’s more of a stag hotel. They take £100 deposit for a room and don’t refund it for 5 days

The hotel on the whole is pleasant, I opted for this independent hotelier versus larger chains in the hope of a calmer and more pleasant individualised experience. My room was tucked away which I thought would be useful but was backed on to by several cleaning cupboards - so not as quiet as was hoped it would be. The room was generally well presented, spacious and had all the amenities you’d expect, there was plenty of tea and coffee making materials which is a bonus (as you’d usually have to request more after two cups). The heating was hit and miss, and none adjustable - as was the duvet in which I was constantly fighting to get the smaller duvet to stay aligned within the duvet cover, otherwise the room was comfortable in respect to sleeping. The bathroom was generally clean, with pleasant dispensers for dove soap at the sink and bath/shower. Annoyingly my shower head decided it liked to clean the remainder of the bathroom walls and floors too! The continental breakfast was abysmal, sadly, considering the hotel has a public cafe in the lobby!! So I didn’t bother with the other days I was staying. Though it was lovely waking up to a bakery/cafe smell every morning. The nearest parking is expensive in an NCP car park, or a short 8-12 minute walk from a local supermarket you can book on JustPark at approximately 1/3 of the price. The staff that I interacted with were lovely, welcoming and always approachable. I would recommend this hotel, I would revisit

Great stay. Comfortable, warm, excellent shower.
