Hotel is very dated and quite tired, location is good near to everything . Breakfast was good , and was included in the price as the nightly rate I think was quite high for the standard of accommodation. we did book for the start of the summer hols so we expected to pay a premium

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.

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 !

Check-in and check-out were incredibly quick and hassle-free, which made the whole experience smooth from the start. The room had everything I needed, and the bath and shower were both perfect - clean, modern, and really relaxing. I also had a lovely view over Swansea, which was a nice bonus. All in all, a great stay, and I’d be more than happy to come back again. Highly recommended!
