Alexander Hotel

The room was big and very clean. Lovely white bedding,big bay window,tea and coffee making facilities. Nice enough bathroom. Good location, lots of food places and shops and a nice walk downhill into Swansea. This is one of the most affordable hotels we have stayed in and it isn't as amazing as the more expensive ones.

The location of the hotel is great. The rooms are large and clean and a walk to the center was very enjoyable and took only 10 minutes. Our room smelt like an Amsterdam coffee shop. If I'd paid a bit less than £70 I'd have felt better. The shower was dire and there was only one old, thin pillow each. The matress was cheap and very squeaky and the curtains are thinner than tracing paper. A few minor improvements and this place would be great.

It is my first visit to Wales and I booked this hotel as the price for one room was good . I received welcome message and instructions and I was nicely surprised that my room was upgraded to a suit with my own bathroom . The room is wonderfully nice and clean . It has TV bar , and everything you need as a traveller . The fridge and microwave is on the second floor with access for everyone . You have plenty of little shops around , lot of take aways and you have also good bus connection of you want to go hiking . The beach is 15 min by foot . The train station is around 30 min. by foot which I had to check myself since on Sunday there is a little problems with how buses are running . The hotel has safety measures in place due to Covid so you can feel safe . You cannot smoke in room but just outside the hotel , there is smoking area so it is not a problem. I'm giving 5 stars .

The door locked and there was roof over our heads... That's were the positives end. The double glazed windows had dropped, so once opened they were extremely hard to close, there were no nets for privacy, as we were overlooking houses and a car park. The main radiator in the bedroom has no thermostatic control, so it was too hot. The curtain rails are very cheap brittle plastic, making the curtains almost impossible to draw without pulling the curtains off. The floor tiles in the bathroom were badly cracked, and grouting missing, also the bathroom had the stench of sewage. The bathroom window didn't open, and there was heavy staining in both the bathtub and sink, the mirror was placed to high for most people's height. It became apparent that the double bed was wonky, on further examination underneath, the middle support leg was broken and one of the slats had fallen out, we then noticed what looked like rubbish under the bed, was actually a bed bug trap, this was incredibly alarming, and created a dread of what the night would bring. The decor had seen better days, wallpaper slowly peeling away from the walls, lots of cracks in the skirting, (which for all we knew had little fleas watching us... Awaiting their moment to pounce). The coffee mugs weren't clean, so we headed for Costa. We had booked for 2 nights, but only stayed for 1 due to the seediness of the room.
