The White Swan Hotel

Love these older style hotels. There has clearly been recent refurbishment and the reception and staircase look great and in keeping with su a property. The standard room we stayed in was basic and if older style but very clean. Everything worked as expected and we had a great sleep. As there is no on site restaurant the foyer and downstairs area lack a bit of ambience and I would suggest some music be played to make it a bit more welcoming Location on quiet street in centre of town only a 5 minute walk to train and bus station Overall great place and value at this price point.

Not what I expected for the price the hotel doesn’t provide food or drinks no hot water

Good location, was clean and good value, no bar or food but worked well for what we needed.

The hotel had only just re-opened that week, having been closed for 8 months for refurbishment ... in fact when i went online to confirm the time of my arrival, having booked with Expedia, I was somewhat worried to find that it said the hotel was closed! Fortunately it wasn't when I got there, but since there was no wifi, as it had been closed for so long, they hadn't been able to update the website. So please don't worry, it IS open, and the new nice friendly staff are doing everything in their power to get it up and running again up to its old standards. We were disappointed to find that, having booked and paid for a continental breskfast throuigh Expedia, that there was actually none available as yet at the hotel, but the manager arranged for us to have whatever we wanted at a local cafe in one of the lovely arcades, so again, they really are doing their best. Once the new owners have got the last few bits and pieces together, I'm sure it will be an excellent option to stay at when in Halifax, and we would be happy to stay there again. Thank you for a most pleasant stay.

Ok quality, though no meals or breakfast available. The building has been very grand in the past. The room was very spacious although a bit soulless. Bathroom smelt damp.

Basic dated accommodation. No restaurant, therefore no breakfast. We had a midweek stay at a special price, wouldn't have paid the website price. Central for the Piece Hall venue.

The swan hotel is in a great location, in the centre of Halifax. Opposite is a great curry house. There is street parking for dropping off bags but otherwise you need to park in amultistory carpark a short walk away which isn't cheap . Think we paid about £12 overnight .

Very old fashioned hotel was obviously a very old building. Bed was comfy, tea and coffee supplied with plenty of milk and sugar. Main street it is on is noisy with a McDonald's virtually opposite so noisy till late. Here is a dilemma, the parking outside is pay and display, between 8am and 8pm £2 an hour with a maximum stay of an hour and no return for another hour. I arrived at 6.15pm so how am I going to adhere to these rules? Not the hotels fault but it meant I had to be up and out before 8am. The bathroom taps come off in your hand, and no plug on the side of the room the bed is on so charging your phone overnight is a long distance event. I was on the 2nd floor also which was very strenuous on my little old legs. So a comfortable stay but not great.

Walls had damp stains, bathroom floor was filthy, bedroom covered in dust. Bed was tiny for a couple wasn’t even a standard double. Tv didn’t work we complained and staff didn’t care. We did inform them we would be leaving a bad review and still didn’t care. Would have left if we hadn’t already paid, it was my birthday night out and tbh a hostel would have been better. I didn’t sleep all night we left asap 7am. Lift also broke on way down and worked only when it wanted which when your on 3rd floor is a nightmare. Wouldn’t recommend. Wouldn’t go back. Disgusted I even paid £60+ for that.

Traditional style hotel right in the centre of Halifax. We paid £8.75 on Just Park app for just over 24 hours parking at the nearby Woolshops shopping centre. Very easy to find car park and Hotel. The room was basic but very clean. We couldn’t get the terrestrial TV channels to work but we could access Netflix and YouTube/Prime by using our own accounts. The Italian restaurant next door was amazing. The only down side was that there was a bit of noise from revellers at pub closing time which is the price you pay for having such a central location.

Hotel has a Bedroom a nice size but the carpet was dirty and stained, the windows didn't ventilate the room, the bedding was worn and the bath didn't have a plug !!! Arrival was average as was the check out where the receptionist struggled to put down her breakfast. There did not appear to be any breakfasts available from the hotel fortunately a number of local run cafes a few streets away.

Old and tired hotel, dresser in room falling to pieces, no hot water at 11pm, dirty mugs, dirty bathroom floor, awoke at 5am with macdonalds delivery van being unloaded opposite Perfect location but needs updated and breakfast would be nice

Clean and comfortable. A bit tired and no frills, but it's ok as an inexpensive place in the town centre centre

Clean room staff friendly

A good honest hotel in a great location in the centre of Halifax, with extremely helpful staff. Whilst not as grand as it once was, fantastic value for money. Bedding and towels immaculately laundered, and plenty of tea bags in the room, so you know you’re in Yorkshire!

Welcoming staff, nice and warm, clean, little dates but excellent for the cost of the room. Would stay again.

Good clean basic hotel room. Comfy bed & nice clean white bedding. Nice quiet room. Hotel is tired & outdated in furnishings & decor but the room was spotless. Yea & coffee making facilities in the room. Ideal for a basic hotel room

Front desk staff very attentive and pleasant, room was value for money, clean room and bathroom, loverly soft bed, I had a great nights sleep, radiator had seen better days. Safe and secure

The Hotel was tired and in need of a serious upgrade. Musty odour in corridors leading to rooms. The room was very tired and had a noticeable sloping floor. Bathroom had clearly seen better days, and overall it is felt would give the likes of another hotel chain a good run for its money. However as they say you get what you pay for. There is a picture on hotels.com website that gives a false impression as it is of a walk through arcade and is not linked to the hotel, this is false advertising to say the least. Would we stay there again …. No!!

Decent location, but very old and tired, and the TV in the room was really small. Plus the hotel is opposite a noisy bar that was open until after 2am, didn't get a great night's sleep as a result

Bedding was brand new and very comfortable room was small but served it’s purpose close to venue, however window only opened 3 inch and no fan or air conditioning very hot and sleepless night but all in all ok

For the price, could not complain about anything. Nice reception staff, super comfortable bed, would definitely stay here again. 👍

The hotel is shabby, unkempt. The rooms very very basic, no heating in my room but the gentleman on the desk was very good ; immediately got a heater. No breakfast facilities overall I think owners just want to run it into the ground and sell the beautiful building. Will not stay again.

Room (200) is fairly basic but clean. Fine for a night. Tv wasn’t working but wasn’t staying long enough to use it. Sink slow to drain and plug doesn’t seal, bath slow to drain and toilet needed a bike revving action to flush. Just needs a competent handyman and more regular function checks by management.

Dated hotel with hostel feel to the building. Bed very uncomfortable, bathroom extremely basic and shower of poor quallity and difficult to get good temperature. would not re book.

Nothing to fault with the hotel but the noise outside our room in the early hours woke me up . It sounded like a bin lorry at first but went on for so long thst I think it was a generator or something . Room 204 😩

For the price, could not complain about anything. Nice reception staff, super comfortable bed, would definitely stay here again. 👍

Very basic overnight stay. Rooms very basic but reflected in price. Overall pretty clean, toilet seat badly stained. Very noisy due to late night/early morning revellers. Check in was a grunt from reception and a card reader. Don’t expect frills. Great location though for Piece Hall

The staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble.

Felt unsafe, dirty and hotel nothing like the photos on hotel sites or website. Arrived at reception and staff was having an argument with a man trying to get access to a bedroom that he was quoting the Housing Association was paying £600 a month for. The reception staff eventually helped us as a women lay on the floor a few metres away charging her phone with her belongs spread on the floor. We paid for the room and then was given a key and note. As we walked up the stairs the smell was rough. On floor 1 doors to the toilets were tapped over to stop people using them. In the room 104 we only stood for minutes, the room smelt terribly, there was food remnants on the carpet and, wooden furniture was all damaged, the headboard worn out, lampshades hanging off and dirty cups and spoons. I then read the note that reception provided to us that stated the hotel ‘does not take responsibility for any loss or theft of items unless left in reception and that all room keys had to be left at reception if guests left the hotel’. So effectively, stuff not safe in locked rooms! We went to reception to request a refund. The cleaner was there & told us that she had cleaned it. reception staff kept smiling and laughing at us when we asked for a refund when we stated that the photos were not the state of the hotel now and this is misleading. The 1st photo on hotels.com is 500m away from the hotel. We were offered another room, but no chance of staying in this ‘hotel’ if that is what it is

Quick check-in, nice room, no noise, good night’s sleep, quick check-out.

Welcoming staff, nice and warm, clean, little dates but excellent for the cost of the room. Would stay again.

In the centre of Halifax, room was cold, moved to different room but it is an old building

This hotel is very underrated, don't listen to any bad reviews, it was very clean and comfortable, staff were very pleasant, theres someone on reception 24/7 so felt safe there as a lone female traveller. No breakfast but macdonalds nearby or plenty of places to eat. Great location, 5 mins from train station, or 2 mins from bus station.
