The hotel is very dated. The staff are very friendly. It was quite clean but being a Towncenter hotel it was extremely noisy through the night into the early hours of the morning and then to cap it off workmen started work on the McDonald’s opposite at 6 am in the morning, so I’m not a great night sleep.

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!!

Old place that's seen better daysm

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

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.

Dirty, tired , smelt. Avoid

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

Great central location

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 .

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.

Old and very dated but comfortable

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.
