Superb location on the beach. There is a store/couple of restaurants nearby. Lovely staff. There was a fridge, coffee, milk and dishes. I wish the rooms had a bit more soundproofing.

Lovely spot. Got a free upgrade to a waterfront room, employees were extremely friendly and welcoming. Yes, the room was outdated but thats the charm of the place. Comfy beds, clean bathroom, and a great espresso machine in the rooms with local coffee pods. We had dinner at their restaurant - amazing food and service. Incredible unique menu using local food and produce with an amazing ambience. You can not find this at a Hilton nor a Marriot. Could not recommend The Waterloo Hotel more. Not to mention Swansea is a sweet little town on the water with great coffee and an epic nine hole course.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is in a good position however it is extremely extremely old and outdated. One of the reasons I booked was it has a restaurant/bar onsite. What they don’t tell you is that it’s only open Saturday and Sunday. We ended up going to IGA for something to put in the microwave. No breakfast available either. I would suggest staying up the other end of town near the tavern that serves food. A lot of the food places close at 3pm in town
