Top Swansea Hotel Reviews

Little National Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Great room for solo travellers"

Jesmond Executive Villas

8/10 Good

"I’ve stayed in a number of different units at this property. They were all clean and well appointed. The ones with cooking facilities were extremely good value. In a couple of the units there were items which needed repair. Air conditioning in one room, and a spa bath which lacked handles, or functionality in another. The laundry facilities were an excellent bonus. overall though, the property was very good value. It is also within an easy walking distance of the Jesmond shopping Centre."

Ocean Front at The Entrance

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely little unit literally on the oceanfront. You can hear the sea and it’s a hop, skip and jump to the beach. There is a seawater pool just along from the unit which was great. Very modern - we couldn’t fault it. If you are going out to eat don’t go past “The Water’s Edge” - it’s in town on the wharf but surrounded by empty shops! (and a Mexican eatery) The food was fantastic and the service great. Prices were more than reasonable."
