Everything appeared overpriced in Mumbles, and this was the cheapest. The people were lovely and very helpful. The carpet in the bathroom scared me, but it's not unusual to find. The room was clean, if not small. More

Who gives hotels their star rating? This was billed as a 3 star. This was, at best, 1 star. The only 3 star characteristic was the price! More

When I heard the name of the hotel, and that they were charging £80 a night for a double room, I thought of some sort of corporately bland experience on a par with Best Western. Sadly, this was not the case. We struggled for some time to find the hotel, only to realise it was the run-down shack on the... More

This is a small sea front hotel which is very tired and run down. Our room was depressing and we didn't want to spend any time in there because it was dark, poorly decorated and the beds were hard and lumpy and deeply unpleasant. Our bathroom had cobwebs and the shower cycled constantly from scaldingly hot to cold, without any... More

Stayed at the Carlton recently. Booked it as everywhere else was booked up. We then read the reviews which were a bit shocking. The outside of the hotel from the first floor down was freshly painted with great hanging baskets outside which were obviously looked after. All the paintwork above that was very shabby and the plants in the pots... More

Booked this hotel on the basis that it was priced around the same rates as most of the B&B's in the mumbles and I thought my money would go further in a hotel - I was wrong. Firstly the décor was very very tired and looked like it had not changed in 50 years. The rabbit warren of corridors that... More

This hotel was very grotty and stale. The room was horrible and there was mould growing in the bathroom. The cups on the hospitality tray were very dusty. The room looked as if it hadn't been given a proper clean in a long time. Very noisy too. The breakfast was ok. More
