The bed was very comfortable and the room/hotel in general was very clean. The bar served some excellent food as well.
This beachfront hotel has dramatic views of Swansea Bay, and is a short stroll from the town centre. The M4 motorway, golf courses and the Gower Peninsula are nearby.

I have a slight problem with walking and use a stick. On reflection, I should have asked for a room closer to reception. I found the room we were given required two lifts and two long walks. Worth bearing in mind next time.

Green Gateway to the Gower
Upon seeing Swansea for the first time, it hits you just how green it is, especially when viewed from Kilvey Hill. On a clear day the views stretch as far as sweeping Swansea Bay and even the undulating Mumbles headland at the edge of the Gower Peninsula - the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with unspoilt beaches.
The Gower is also known for its castles, including Oystermouth Castle and Loughor Castle, overlooking the city from a hilltop. Swansea itself also has castle ruins which are Grade I listed, as is the Guildhall with its lavish interior frescoes.
Most historic city centre buildings were sadly lost during World War II, but the elegant Grand Theatre survived, as did Dylan Thomas’ childhood home in Uplands. The Swansea Museum – the oldest in Wales – is opposite the National Waterfront Museum and the LC indoor waterpark.
Offshore conditions are good for kitesurfing, and the marina shelters yachts overlooked by Wales’ tallest building: The Tower, Meridian Quay. The nearby SA1 Waterfront complex is becoming popular for its bars and restaurants, while shopping options include a covered market and the Morfa Shopping Park by Liberty Stadium, home to the city’s football and rubgy union teams.
Booking.com’s Swansea accommodation includes luxury hotels, cheap apartments and guest houses with parking.

We used Swansea as a base for the Gower and found it suitably placed for our visit, we also visited Skewen and Neath for historical family reasons.
We would go back to this hotel again.
The evening meals had a very limited menu and some of the quality of produce was not great.
Favourite places were the Theatre and Bay.
Easy to get around very close to amenities.
We would avoid eating in the hotel restaurant and The secret beach bar and kitchen.

The city has excellent tourist facilities and offers.
The city has excellent tourist facilities and offers. We can mingle with the locals at the local market. The only con is that local commerce closes at 18h. You can reach most of tourist sites by foot. Or if you rent a bike at bike hub is another option. You have many supermarket and many restaurants to choose.

Swansea has a wide sandy beach - several miles long that stretches round the bay to Mumbles . modern marina with waterfront restaurants- I recommend the Welsh Hose - delicious , reasonably priced traditional Welsh food- Just like Mam makes - with a touch of Welsh ouse magic . The Shed also nice, a touch pricy . tasty breakfast at Hoogah Cafe, Bar + Kitchen - recommend their local lavender lemonade, rose or lavender hot chocolate - healthy breakfasts, and light meals - delicious - worth the walk . Swansea Market a must visit- Famous for its free cockles and laver bread- Also sells all sorts of everything including fresh local produce - Butchers- Gower salt marsh lamb, great fishmongers and fresh vegetable stalls, Bakers- look out for the Swanse loaf - great with local butter sold by the pat .Freshly made welsh cakes . Cafes & snack counter, hardware stores, hover repairs - gifts - all sorts of stuff. Singleton and neighbouring Brynmill parks also delightful - LS1 is fun pool and liesure centre close to the town centre - there is also a 50 m pool for more serious swimming mid way around the bay - Max Boyce song suns up the hiraeth and the croeso youy will find at Swansea 'Im going home to Swansea town, where day is dawning, Im going home to Swansea town, a lovely sea town morning "

While Swansea’s industrial entrance and surrounding conditions left us unimpressed, the charm of The Mumbles and Gower more than made up for it. The quaint spots and delightful sea views offered a pleasant contrast, making the visit worthwhile.

Swansea is an up and coming town that has plenty to offer IF you can find somewhere to park. You can often spend a long part of your day trying to find suitable parking that isn't too far away from where it's all happening.
Certainly worth visiting for a few days. Plenty of shops to peruse and cafes to sit in and people watch.
Stunning views across the bay and lovely beaches all within a few minutes drive.
There are plenty of restaurants to choose from and different cuisines. Taxis available if you don't want to drive and most are friendly.
Different seasons offer different views of Swansea so it's best to try out the town throughout the year.
Just don't forget. It's not the weather that's the problem! It's the poor choice of clothing!
Guests are made very welcome and all of the staff make up an excellent team. The phrase ‘ to go the extra mile’ perfectly describes the service we experienced. This extends to the 90th Birthday celebration the Gower Hotel laid on. The attention to detail, the artistic touches, the top class menu fare, all with a very friendly and personable yet professional provision. This is gem of an Hotel, not only for holiday breaks, but for large celebratory events. Very happy to return when we next visit Swansea.
Staying at the mirador made a night in Swansea feel more like an occasion.
The room was so comfortable and the theme went down to the last details. The four poster bed wasn't just for show! The mattress and bedding were perfect and we both slept incredibly well.
The fridge full of goodies was really thoughtful and the bathroom was well stocked with towels and toiletries.
Location was great too! Right next to Uplands but on a lovely quiet street.
General facilities pool, sauna, jaccuzzi and small gym. Staff was accommodating even prior to us getting there, providing extra beds for the children. The breakfast had a fair amount of variety. The room was spacious. location not too far from the city centre. I have not used a 3 star hotel before, there is not much else in Swansea, but this exceeded my expectations better than the four star we had in Malta. Maybe the UK has higher standards.

I have stayed in much pricer hotels in 2022/23 and struggle to match Swansea ibis
We loved the location and having a fully equipped apartment while staying in Swansea. It was a very clean and modern space inside in a neighborhood with pretty views down to the Swansea Bay. We were on foot and the walk up was strenuous but well worth it for the views and the place. The owner's directions were quite good and our entry went smoothly although we never met the owner.
The reception staff made us very welcome and made our stay very relaxing and went that bit further in providing us with ice and a slice in lovely glasses for the drinks we brought with us plus offered us a nightcap drink when we returned to the hotel. We had been to a funeral earlier that day so this was a lovely way to help us relax and have a good night’s sleep. Well done.
We are two mature cyclists slowly travelling from Swansea to Aberystwyth staying at a series of four consecutive hotels. Each place of stay probably caters for a different market and our use was atypical.
The staff of this hotel were welcoming and very helpful. The accommodation was clean and the meals were excellent.
I thought I had booked a double bed but it was a tiny single bed. It was clean and comfortable. It was only one night. I arrived late and left early so wasn't there long to be a problem. It was quiet so I could relax and get a decent sleep. Bathroom and shower was fine. Hotel in good location
The hotel slightly exceeded my expectations. Easy parking and open air which was good as I have a camper van. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Good supply of tea and coffee in the room. Staff very helpful as I arrived early and no problem leaving my bags until check in.
The absolute perfect hotel. Location. Price. Cleanliness. Staff. This place is a warm hug on arrival to Swansea. Do not hesitate to book. You're in safe hands with Chris & his top team!
Great overall can’t say anything bad about the property, maybe a nice addition might be A/C, yet the weather is cool in Swansea most times making it a luxury more than a necessity.
Convenient hotel for our 2 day conference venue at City Church in Swansea. However its a shame that you have to charge £9 per day for paying guests at your hotel
Fantastic find! We were in Swansea for the Ironman 70.3 and the apartment was perfectly placed for the event and was so much more convenient than a hotel room!
