Bad stay

Stayed here many times but will be considering other options from now on. Second time in month or so that no hot water available for showering, windows do not close properly so noisy,especially in the morning. Only one small lift works, the other has been out of action for at least a year!!

Owners need to refurb this Hotel!

Although bed was very comfy and bathroom very clean, this Hotel needs a major refurb. Paintwork everywhere flaking off, carpet in our suite was shockingly thin. The windows in our room were covered in condensation so all double glazing needs replacing. The restaurant for breakfast was rediculously hot so it needs air con. The ceiling in parts looked like it was going to come down! The selection for breakfast was good though. All in all good service from all the staff but the owners need to invest in it heavily.

Stayed for one night, on 7th floor only one lift working that only took 2 people. Air con made no difference to room temperature. Shower was a dribble of water - unable to wash hair as no pressure. Room and bathroom were a good size clean but very tired looking.
Shower at full power - top shower head didn’t work !

The worst view I’ve ever had from a room window 316. Toilet was difficult to flush. Loud scraping noise during night sounded like a bed overhead being moved or it could have been noise from lift! Breakfast hot food was dried up no option to have any fresh cooked eggs but after complaining the coffee machine wasn’t working one of the waiters kindly got me one.

We have stayed at The Dragon many times. On checking in we were recognised by the receptionist which was very nice. We were given an upgrade to a lovely room with a separate lounge area. As we were quite tired from our last few days, this was lovely - we chilled out and watched a film with a few drinks. Lovely hotel, room, staff and breakfast. It is normally our first choice when wanting to be in Swansea City Centre.
