Central Swansea Hostel

We really enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable. The dormitory was surprisingly quiet given that 12 people were sleeping. Friendly and quiet guests and helpful staff.

Great stay

The hostel is close to the city center and has a very reasonable cost for such a good location. The room was quite warm and quite noisy with the window open but for a central location you can expect that. Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Swansea.

An excellent price-quality ratio

The place was centrally located, very well managed and kept. The double room was smallish, but with a private bathrooom enough. It was spotless and clean as all the other facilities. The common rooms were great and the staff brilliant

Stayed in the private double room for the second time, excellent value for money for the location! Room is surprisingly well equipped for the price, smart TV, modern private bathroom, double bed etc. Nice to not be 2 single beds pushed together. Only downside was that the shower had small amounts of mould around the bottom and the walls are a little scuffed so could do with a bit of love, but ultimately you get what you pay for, so value alone gives this place 5 stars.

I had a short stay. The place is convenient to shopping centre and food court. The staff was friendly and the price was affordable. However, the dorm floor was very dirty as if it hasn't been sweep for some time. The most important is that there were BED BUGS, which i only notice bed bug bites all over my body after leaving the hostel. I hope the staff inspect the beds and take care of that issue

The staff was lovely, the hostel is extremely well located in the centre, making it the perfect location to stay in if you need to catch a bus or get a train. The only two things I struggled with were the shower pressure, which led to longer periods in the shower, and the dust around the bed (pod) which made me sneeze during the night/cough. Other than that, couldn’t be happier. For the price, it’s an amazing place to stay! There’s a strong chance I’ll be back.

In need of a bit of TLC - pods need curtains. Ceiling and pod lights too bright and need to be on timers. A few simple and relatively cheap upgrades and it woud be an easy 5*
