The room is dated, but comfortable. Beds are super comfy and it had all of the basic requirements, including some tea/coffee (pods!). Staff were delightful at both check in and check out. The view is worth alllll of the stars. Spend just a tiny bit more for the ocean view - you won’t regret it. Loved Swansea, and could have stayed at The Waterloo for a week. Also, walk across the road to Alimento cafe. Amazing!!
