Paying for parking as a hotel guest is a joke
The only thing that annoyed me and would stop me staying here again is the fact that I as a guest of the hotel had to pay 9 pounds a day for parking in the hotel car park, I am returning to Swansea in 6 weeks but I will not be returning to the dragon hotel because of this.

Although arriving early the reception was wonderful with them holding our bags until the room was ready to check into.
The two wonderful women on reception made it a breeze to check in as usual.
The receptionist on leaving on the other hand just glazed over our issues* with an unsympathetic sorry.
*Lights in the entrance of room not working,
A screeching from above every 10 minutes during the night*
We usually have a lovely time here but this visit fell short

4* Dragon Experience
Lovely staff and great location. Breakfast was very good, room was clean and tidy, only downside was the single beds. They were far too small, had to lay on my side and if rolled would fall out of the bed. Not very comfortable, but everythi g else was very good.

Nice hotel and I'd stay again.
Hotel appearance is good, reception staff very nice and friendly. Our room and bathroom was clean and the bed very comfortable. I had an excellent sleep. The colours it's decorated in were nice and love the Welsh red theme. Only thing I'd like to point out is the double bed was two singles pushed together and his mattress was higher than mine.

Check-in staff and check-out staff were absolutely wonderful. Room was reasonable, carpet made it look slightly dated but still clean. The bed and covers were comfortable and clean. This is the second time I’ve stayed and will stay again.
