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.

Chloe

Great location & its 24 hour parking so was good for a one night visit & a bit of shopping. Only thing that let it down was the room. It wasnt very tidy, there was a spoon & a receipt on the floor by the bed, the one white cup was dirty (which we didnt see until the morning of going to use it). The mirrors were stinking. It just could have looked a lot better.
