Green Gateway to the Gower
Upon seeing Swansea for the first time, it hits you just how green it is, especially when viewed from Kilvey Hill. On a clear day the views stretch as far as sweeping Swansea Bay and even the undulating Mumbles headland at the edge of the Gower Peninsula - the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with unspoilt beaches.
The Gower is also known for its castles, including Oystermouth Castle and Loughor Castle, overlooking the city from a hilltop. Swansea itself also has castle ruins which are Grade I listed, as is the Guildhall with its lavish interior frescoes.
Most historic city centre buildings were sadly lost during World War II, but the elegant Grand Theatre survived, as did Dylan Thomas’ childhood home in Uplands. The Swansea Museum – the oldest in Wales – is opposite the National Waterfront Museum and the LC indoor waterpark.
Offshore conditions are good for kitesurfing, and the marina shelters yachts overlooked by Wales’ tallest building: The Tower, Meridian Quay. The nearby SA1 Waterfront complex is becoming popular for its bars and restaurants, while shopping options include a covered market and the Morfa Shopping Park by Liberty Stadium, home to the city’s football and rubgy union teams.
Booking.com’s Swansea accommodation includes luxury hotels, cheap apartments and guest houses with parking.

I would recomnend the owner stays and tries to cook on the hob, which doesn't work and turn the heating on when needed, which doesn't work except the oil heater stuffed Ino to the small bedroom, try and follow the tv sound, lock the lock box, and check after each tenancy to make sure everything is in order for the next tenant. It isn't right to just say "Well the previous tenants didn't have any problems or have you checked the switches are on? Also we were not believed and no meeting suggested at the Bungalow to discuss. The Holiday Park employees were very polite and helpful even offering us one of their Bungalows so that we could finish our full booking instead of leaving a day early.

We used Swansea as a base for the Gower and found it suitably placed for our visit, we also visited Skewen and Neath for historical family reasons.
We would go back to this hotel again.
The evening meals had a very limited menu and some of the quality of produce was not great.
Favourite places were the Theatre and Bay.
Easy to get around very close to amenities.
We would avoid eating in the hotel restaurant and The secret beach bar and kitchen.

The city has excellent tourist facilities and offers.
The city has excellent tourist facilities and offers. We can mingle with the locals at the local market. The only con is that local commerce closes at 18h. You can reach most of tourist sites by foot. Or if you rent a bike at bike hub is another option. You have many supermarket and many restaurants to choose.

Swansea has a wide sandy beach - several miles long that stretches round the bay to Mumbles . modern marina with waterfront restaurants- I recommend the Welsh Hose - delicious , reasonably priced traditional Welsh food- Just like Mam makes - with a touch of Welsh ouse magic . The Shed also nice, a touch pricy . tasty breakfast at Hoogah Cafe, Bar + Kitchen - recommend their local lavender lemonade, rose or lavender hot chocolate - healthy breakfasts, and light meals - delicious - worth the walk . Swansea Market a must visit- Famous for its free cockles and laver bread- Also sells all sorts of everything including fresh local produce - Butchers- Gower salt marsh lamb, great fishmongers and fresh vegetable stalls, Bakers- look out for the Swanse loaf - great with local butter sold by the pat .Freshly made welsh cakes . Cafes & snack counter, hardware stores, hover repairs - gifts - all sorts of stuff. Singleton and neighbouring Brynmill parks also delightful - LS1 is fun pool and liesure centre close to the town centre - there is also a 50 m pool for more serious swimming mid way around the bay - Max Boyce song suns up the hiraeth and the croeso youy will find at Swansea 'Im going home to Swansea town, where day is dawning, Im going home to Swansea town, a lovely sea town morning "

While Swansea’s industrial entrance and surrounding...
While Swansea’s industrial entrance and surrounding conditions left us unimpressed, the charm of The Mumbles and Gower more than made up for it. The quaint spots and delightful sea views offered a pleasant contrast, making the visit worthwhile.
This hotel is in a great location, right by the sea front and just a short walk into the bars and restaurants in Swansea. The staff are extremely professional and friendly. The only thing that previously let it down was the dated decor. Now this has been updated with fresh and tasteful decor and furnishings it will be my first choice when visiting Swansea.
The Staff, especially Victoria and Adam, absolutely "made" our stay by going the extra mile with service, in a genuinely gracious and friendly manner. Their hospitality and attention to detail were truly five star. They assured that memories of our 21st wedding anniversary stay at The Grand Hotel, Swansea will be treasured.
Darren and Rebecca are amazing hosts. Friendly and very helpful. The hotel is situated an easy 10 minute stroll from Swansea Arena, and on the seafront. The breakfast was really great, with cereals, toast, tea, coffee and fruit juice, and a full cooked breakfast. Very good selection of tea and coffee in the room.
I am a regular visitor to Swansea and Mumbles area, as I use to live there for over 30years, so I thought I give this hotel the opportunity for us to stay, and knowing the location very well. So conclusion - Car park and location, but that's about it. See 'what we didn't like or rather what we didn't get'!
Nothing - Staff informed us on arrival that the booking was locked due to 'flooding' in which we were later told that the hotel was actually overbooked due to a 'system fault'. We were not informed of this either until we had actually got to the hotel! Ruined our evening which had been booked for weeks.
The hostel is in a great location, close to a lot of shops in the centre of Swansea. Within walking distance of the train and bus station.
The staff are warm, friendly and can't do enough to help.
It's great value for money, clean, great facilities and lovely staff.
Thank you all at Cwtsh Hostel.
Loved having plenty of space for our family group of six adults to spread out after a long day in a car or walking around markets. This is great place in a very good location just outside downtown. I would be thrilled to use it again if I'm every back in Swansea.
Accepts dogs is a massive bonus for us, they're very welcoming and even a goodie bag for the dogs which was a nice treat for them
Every member of staff were nice and friendly
Breakfast was good enough for a cheap dog friendly hotel.
Best B&B experience ever! The room was very cozy and artsy. Not the most spacious but definitely has everything you need. Love chatting with the hosts and other guests during breakfast. Highly recommend if traveling to Swansea.
2 night stay in conveniently located hotel-close to railway station and a short walk to the city centre.Large,comfy room-stayed on a room only basis-with good supply of tea and coffee.Amenable and helpful staff.
Great place to stay Local pubs and restaurants a few minutes walk Very comfortable bed, great choice of tv stations and a fabulous breakfast, looking forward to my next trip to Swansea
Great overall can’t say anything bad about the property, maybe a nice addition might be A/C, yet the weather is cool in Swansea most times making it a luxury more than a necessity.
This hotel is the best thing about Swansea! Location was great, staff were amazing, the decor was really great. The breakfast is well worth the addition!
