Review summary

Guests often highlight the comfortable and modern rooms, with some noting that the deluxe doubles are surprisingly spacious. The hotel offers a hearty and nicely presented breakfast, sometimes served in the pub, known for its great selection of drinks. The New Swan is popular as a biker-friendly base for touring, and while the parking area can sometimes get crowded due to non-guests, its location is convenient for exploring Swansea and nearby attractions such as Tiffin Indian restaurant. Some guests have mentioned occasional issues such as poor water pressure in the shower.
