Swansea, Wales’ ‘City by the Sea’ offers an exciting arts and entertainment scene, yet is close to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The perfect base for exploring the rest of South Wales where the outdoor activities are endless – from surfing and water skiing to memorable walks and horse riding.

Swansea by Autumn
A customer from HALESOWEN who stayed at 3* Ramada Swansea in Swansea wrote this review.
Wanted somewhere to go when the weather could not be at its best. Swansea had the answer. On arrival for our three day break we visited The Mumbles - highly recommended! Not too commercial, but interesting to walk through - the sun shone, it was lovely. We had a good hotel, with an indoor pool and gym, which kept us occupied on the day the weather was not good. The second and final day out was to The Gower Peninsular. Some very pretty scenery, would like to have had more time to explore this area. We had some good, inexpensive pub meals, enjoyed the easy journey there and back down the M5, M4 and Severn Bridge, and thoroughly enjoyed our 'short break'.

Swansea Marriott
A customer who stayed at 4* Swansea Marriott Hotel in Swansea wrote this review.
The hotel was situated in the Swansea Marina which was a nice location and within easy walking distance of town centre. had the feeling that as a superbreak customer and having possably a cheaper reservation that the staff were slightly less enthusiastic with me and my family in comparrison to how some other guests were treated. we were told when booking out that childrens breakfasts had to be paid for, which wasnt an issue as such, as booking through superbreak wasnt always the cheapest way in the long run. wasn't madly impressed with our room as they put us into a smoking room which i didnt mind too much but unfortunately the room really smelt of stale smoke, and i was told that we hadnt specified a no smoking room therefore it was our bad luck as they had no no smoking rooms available. i am not one to make waves and just put up with it but a simple air freshner sprayed or put into room for good will purposes but unfortunately not.
