Very basic (but fair in relation to the price) Some I it isle confusion - we were first given keys to the wrong room but very promptly sorted out

Very central location, extremely good price

On the website it was very misleading. We were to think that we had our own microwave and fridge in our room. We did not know that it was a shared accommodation. It states in our room we would have had a kitchenette. We were very disappointed with this.

It was in a good location as my daughter was swimming at the national pool in swansea

The shower was broken No toilet roll

The decor is a bit dated and the toilet/shower unit clad in plywood looked a bit funny but was entirely functional.

The pace is close to the Swansea University, had the right facilities and was reasonably quiet for a good night's rest.

Banging from other customers but thats going to be a hit or miss situation

It's very good value for money, you can't complain at all for what I paid.

The room, clean linen

No access to rooms, as there is no reception. I had to forward my passport, drivers licence and address to an individual acting as caretaker who assisted a lot. No soap/fresh towels, milk for a cup of tea. Room was very spacious and well furnished Please provide receptionist, courteous services and you will be ideal place as it is quiet. Remove old broken car on the driveway, spruce driveway and hallway

It was difficult to find - the coordinates where for the a house further up the street.

It was a room only offer. The location is excellent close to the University, Singleton Hospital and the shops. The room was comfortable and a generous size.

The room was not cleaned properly and was very cold, with the heating only operating at specific times. The house was poorly maintained. The shower had issues, fluctuating between extremely hot and cold, and it couldn't maintain consistent water pressure. The bathroom floor felt unstable, the bed had stains, and the paint on the walls was poorly applied.

The house is large, and the room is spacious. It was nice to have a parking space available for us. The kitchen is equipped with most of the essentials if you want to cook. The property has great potential, but it’s a shame that it is not maintained well.

Unfortunately as soon as we entered the hallway there was a strong smell of damp and the same in our room. Although the room was clean the single bed had no duvet cover. We did not use the shower as it was too small. Everything in the room is outdated so needs a refresh I.e complete makeover, lick of paint, new rugs, headboard needs to be fixed to the double bed. Sorry this is constructive feedback for improvements even though the room is cheap but not suitable for kids.

Location

Stayed in February 2025

I had a great time during my stay at Sketty, the house was cosy and welcoming, and I felt completely at home. The location was ideal for exploring because it was quiet yet still accessible to local stores and landmarks.

When we arrived, there was no hand soap in the bathroom. A plate, kettle and mugs were only brought to our room after we checked in, even though they knew our check-in timeframe before we arrived. I also noticed that the bathroom sink didn't look very clean, and when we got into bed on the first night I noticed some dirty spots on the sheets, but it was too late to have them changed by that point. All of these things lead me to believe that the room was not properly cleaned before we arrived, and it is clear that since management does not oversee the cleaning staff, they are not doing a proper job. The state of the building is also rather unfortunate. There is clutter and rubbish bags lying around everywhere - in the corridors and in the kitchen, and the place looks like a dump because of it. The kitchen downstairs is hidden away and unlabelled, so very difficult to find - and it's not the kind of place where you want to be opening random doors to find it, because you're actually worried about what will be on the other side of the door. The kitchen floor is filthy and sticky, so I didn't even feel comfortable to cook there. We also didn't get the room we booked - we got room 5 instead of 2. The keys aren't even on a proper keyring, so they keep falling off the flimsy piece of wire that doesn't close. The pillows on the bed were so flat that they didn't even feel like they were there. Very uncomfortable and we left a day early because of it.

Unfortunately, nothing positive to say.

Worst stay ever!! Was totally blanked by host and wasn't sent the code to get in until 6-7pm even though check in was at 2pm so was left sitting outside for hours then the electric went off and wasn't able to get it back on all night so couldn't watch TV or make a cuppa or charge my phone so was left sitting in a room with just the main light all night!!! Rang the host multiple times to no avail...DISGUSTED!! ONLY BEEN GIVEN A FRACTION REFUND OF THE COST OF THE ROOM TOO!!!! Room was filthy too!!!!

The bed was comfy but when I pulled the covers back there was something disgusting on the sheets sticking them together...don't even want to thi k what it was!

There were no cooking facilities and we had difficulties finding somewhere to eat nearby. There was no signal on the TV or Wifi. The road was quiet at night but in the morning there was a big traffic jam. The shower room is very narrow.

The property manager and the staff were very friendly and kind. We extended our stay as well. Rooms are comfortable and location is brilliant.

EVERYTHING !!! This place is a tip, and has no business taking money off unsuspecting travellers ! The place looks so uninviting that we searched the street looking for our booking, as we couldn't believe that it could be such an awful place. It reminded us of the Bates' house in the movie PSYCHO ! Very scary. When we eventually managed to operate the key safe with difficulty, and went inside where we found two dining chairs blocking our way in, and an open door to a room full of old doors and other bric a brac. The bed felt very uncomfortable and the sheet was torn and the pillows were old and lumpy. The bathroom was miniscule and the toilet was wedged between the shower cabinet and the washbasin, so almost impossible to access ! We went out to eat, as it was late and, during our meal, decided to book elsewhere as we couldn't face spending the night there, next to a room full of very loud people with shouting children, none of whom could speak English. When we went to collect our cases at about 10pm, we found a young Lithuanian lady outside, who was shivering, as she explained she couldn't open the key safe, and that no one had opened the door, despite her having banged on it and shouted for over one hour. We felt very sorry for her as she really didn;'t like it either, but therte was nothing we could do so we left. I have travelled all over much of the world, and this is one of the worst places I have come across. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!

We didn't stay, but there was no breakfast offered.

The communication with the staff was disappointing. We had not been given clear instructions on how to reach our room. We were supposed to receive full details (address, how to access the room etc.) on the arrival day, but we did not. What's more, when we were calling them for help they would pick up but not reply to us. We had to knock on people's doors to get help with the directions.
