What guests think

Across recent reviews of ibis Swansea, travellers repeatedly praise the friendly, attentive staff and value, while feedback on the budget rooms is more mixed, citing dated decor, occasional maintenance issues and noise for some roadside-facing rooms.

Cleanliness is often noted positively, though several reviews mention odours, mold or bathrooms needing a deeper refresh. Breakfast is frequently highlighted as tasty and varied, though a few guests found it poor or felt vegan options and evening menus were limited. The location is outside the centre with easy road access and ample parking, suiting drivers, but local amenities are limited and traffic can be heard in some rooms. Expect a simple, good-value stay with standout service.

The hotel is very close to the main road from the M4, making it a convenient location - easy access from the motorway and just a short drive into the city, or wonderful Gower beyond. There is ample parking available, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The Ibis would do well to remove cars parking on the slip road into the hotel during working hours - they are an obstruction and nuisance. Rooms on the main road side are noisy - next time I'll make sure we're on the car park side.

A great hotel. Clean and comfortable, and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant were more than adequate, and the beds we’re pretty comfortable too. I’d stay again if I was in Swansea for anything else.

Lovely property, the staff were amazing and made us feel welcome. They even up-graded us to a downstairs room because of our dog. It is not often we have felt that well looked after, thank you

The hotel parking and facilities were very good the food was very good especially the breakfast which was great. all of the staff were very polite friendly and gave a top level service, especially Nicola and Oliver the chef. I have stayed in many top level hotels all over the world including Raffles, shangrila & Taj Mahal. I was very surprised how good this hotel was and was very impressed with the staff and the level of friendly service they gave. I have another job booked for a month from 9th May 25. I will be booking in to this hotel for this visit and look forward too seeing the staff again. Many thanks Best regards Tony Cleal Technical Director

I've never stayed in an IBIS hotel before, but i will definitely be back. The staff were ever so polite, professional friendly and helpful. The whole place was very clean, the bar and restaurant were excellent, well cooked, plenty of choice and tasty. It was an easy 20 min walk into the centre of Swansea making it an ideal place for a lovely quite stay but close to the city.

Ideal hotel if you’re visiting Swansea Arena. Was only just over a fiver for an uber/taxi. Really friendly staff and a lovely bar and lounge area. The road side of the hotel is quite noisy, although didn’t worry us as we normally sleep with a fan on at night, so the noise wasn’t a trouble. The only real issue was the thickness of the mattress. Beds only have a thin mattress and a topper, which for us wasn’t very comfortable. We also found the pillows were super soft and weren’t very supportive , it would have been nice to have a couple of firmer ones in the room to give guests an option.

Rooms

Rooms are basic and generally comfortable for short stays, but several note dated decor and maintenance issues with lighting, TV or shower fittings. Roadside traffic noise and firm mattresses or very soft pillows affected sleep for some.

This hotel is great value for money, no frills but if you're ok with that its worth a stay. A few idiosyncrasies, couldnt get any BBC channels the hotel tv system and the room layout was a bit all over the place. Another big plus is free parking.

Check in was quick and the room was as described. The hotel is a little way out from the centre, but you should be aware of this if you are booking this place. The SweetRooms are worth paying the extra for as the ordinary rooms are really basic. The hotel is really due for a refurbishment and this can be seen in the general condition of the rooms. However, it is clean and does the job when there is availability at a good price.

The place itself is very good. It's a shame it's in an industrial estate, as there's no where to go that is a short walking distance. Fine if you had a car. Very warm welcome. When we got to the room, we had no towels. Went to reception. Breakfast is great. Great selection. Evening meals could be better. The bar could have a better selection also. But overall a pleasant stay

HOTEL JUST OUT TO THE EAST OF SWANSEA CENTRE, A BUS RIDE AWAY WITH FREQUENT SERVICES. HOWEVER THE No51 BUS, EVERY 20MINS IS A 5MIN WALK TO THE HOTEL, FROM FABIAN WAY PARK & RIDE. THIS WAS NOT FOUND OUT TILL THE DAY OF DEPARTURE. A GOOD IDEA WOULD BE TO SHOW THE No51 BUS DETAILS IN THE RECEPTION AS OTHER SERVICE BUS STOPS DROP OFF NO WHERE NEAR THE IBIS; WEATHER WAS BAD, RAIN RAIN & MORE RAIN ALL FREE !! APART FROM THAT ALL GOOD.
