Top Swansea Observatory Hotel Reviews

Panoramic View

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location next to marina and the beach, beautiful panoramic view on Swansea and surrounding hills, very close to shops and restaurants, there is the bar on 28th floor with amazing view in all directions, apartment is very nice, clean and comfortable, host is very friendly and told me what is worth to visit around, where I can find local shops and good restaurants. I really enjoyed my stay and would like to come back in the future."

Village Hotel Swansea

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was delightful, the hotel was very clean and the staff very helpful, would stay again, only downside was the prices in the bar but other than that could not fault the hotel, very modern"

The Dragon Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel needs updating, looking very tired. Was on the 7th floor only 1 lift working. Gym and pool not available. Location is good for Central Swansea"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Swansea

8/10 Good

"The Delta Hotels by Marriott proved to be an excellent last-minute choice for our stay on 25-26 September 2026. The hotel's location is a real highlight. It's within easy walking distance of the city centre, Swansea Marina & the seafront, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. It was also particularly convenient for Swansea Bay parkrun, which was one of the reasons for our visit. We were impressed by how quiet the hotel was. Despite its central location, the sound insulation was excellent a & we enjoyed two peaceful nights' sleep. The staff were consistently welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our stay, creating a positive first impression from check-in onwards. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable, offering plenty of room to relax after a day out. While the hotel is well maintained, it is starting to show its age in a few areas. The air conditioning worked well enough but was noticeably louder than in more modern hotels. The main drawback was the bathroom design. The shower is fitted over a particularly high bath, making entry and exit difficult. A refurbishment programme that replaces these baths with modern walk-in showers would make the hotel much safer and more accessible for guests. Overall a great stay."

The Grand Hotel Swansea

10/10 Excellent

"Really great experience for us the second time round for staying there. Had the deluxe room and it even came with the hot tub as a nice surprise for us both. Fab stay will return again before Christmas 2026 👍"

The Georgian Swansea

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Room decoration is lovely and super comfortable bed. Super friendly staff. Great to be able to store bags before and after stay. Only minor downside is the noise from the dual carriageway but fine with ear plugs."

Morgans Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Quiet rooms. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff"

Marina View Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely apartment with great views over the Marina and a short walk to the beach and coastal walk. Plenty of bars and good restaurants within 2 to 15 mins walk and lots to see. Only 20 mins walk into the town centre. Pescado restaurant below is fabulous. The apartment has good sized rooms, a well equipped kitchen and internet connect TV. There is free parking over the road arranged by the owner. The block has an elevator though it is only 2 floors up if you want the exercise. We may well go back. Recommend."

Scenic View

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was absolutely immaculately clean. The beds were comfortable and the was plenty of space to relax in the lounge. The little balcony overlooking the marina was a lovely spot to have a cuppa! The location is very convenient for both the City Centre and the Beach. The host Joan was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely come back to Scenic View."
