Not impressed
Stayed in Bristol the night prior for half the money, cleaner hotel, better service, better amenities and no issues. The Grand was very expensive for the room quality, issues with the Aircon, no window to open, door frame hanging off, dirty carpet in the corridors, holes in the bathroom tiles, dirty pillows

We had a lovely stay in Swansea and this hotel suited us perfectly. The food was great and almost all the staff were very friendly and always on hand to help. As a family of 4 with 2 teenagers we needed to get 2 rooms. One of the rooms was great but the other was road facing and quite noisy early in the morning. Overall, a great stay.

Right by train station
Stayed overnight with friends in a triple room which is nice to have as an option. Not all hotels have this. Was a pretty basic room but would expect that for the price. Ideal location literally right outside the train station. More expensive rooms look lovely so would come again and give them a go. No early check in offered even if room is ready which is a shame.
