Wasn't expecting great things due to some reviews. Positives, Very large room (2 turned into 1). I found the bed comfy my husband didn't. Clean enough. Staff nice. Cons, very dated bathroom, very very noisy. The room overlooked McDonalds which had a massive delivery at 5.30 am. This lasted over 45 mins. Then lots of noise from the street. Hotel must be aware of this so maybe don't room guests there on the delivery day. The hotel needs more work to update it.

Easy access to the main shopping and eating premises. I used to stay here many years ago, now find the Swan has come down in the standards. The rooms are usable but need upgrading. My shower over the bath is outdated,now preferably a shower cubicle. The shower itself was not safe, the hot tap when turned came completely off, and I had to use the shower head by hand, also no bathmat or handle aid getting out. As to the decor, outdated and tired, and the room was just about clean, especially the carpet needed care or replacing. So this was my opinion and do not know about the other rooms, mine was 201.

The hotel is very tired and rooms dated with various problems but couldn’t fault the staff. Reasonably priced and good location for Piece Hall gigs so we could forgive a lot. The lobby was smart.

One night in Halifax

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.

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!

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.

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.

Terrible, filthy, small, staff useless .

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.

Low cost accommodation in centre of town

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.
