Good Points: My room was by far the nicest hotel room I have stayed in, in this country. It had beautiful furniture and decor.
Further Comments: My room was by far the nicest hotel room I have stayed in, in this country. I stayed in the oriental suite which had its own lounge, and beautiful furniture and decor. Everything I could have wanted was there including a huge DVD collection, internet access, and a very generous supply of toiletries and beverages. There was a very large chioce for breakfast, which was extremly nice and again the decor of the breakfast room was beautiful. My room was also very clean. Very friendly people and a gorgeous little dog.

Good Points: I thought the staff were very welcoming, they made us feel comfortable throughout our stay and seemed as if they would do anything for you.
Bad Points: the only thing i would say i disliked (being very picky now) is because it is fairly big, everythig echos, so when people came in and 5:30am, we could hear everything they done. But hey, nothing could be done about that.
Further Comments: Overall i really enjoyed my stay. iwould most definately stay there again and would highly recommend it to other people. I loved the little dog mitzy aswell.

Good Points: Excellent in all respects. Owners very friendly, great breakfast. WIFI included.
Further Comments: Only reason reluctant to praise too much is that it may be fully booked should I need to visit Swansea again! Highly recommended.

Good Points: Friendly atmosphere, guest house hosts could not do enough for us. A good experience.
Bad Points: Bathroom quite cramped in the suite we occupied.
Further Comments: The rooms in the guest house were to say the least - interesting. Good location. Parking, on street is a problem. House could be hard to find for anyone unfamiliar with the area. We bought an A-Z of Swansea. Good restaurants and bars within 3 minutes walk of Mirador. We intend to stay at the Mirador again when in the South Wales area.

Good Points: it began as an ordinary hotel untill we entered the room and wow, the decor was fabulous and fittings the same. sumptuous is a small word to describe our visit.
Bad Points: only the stairs, we normaly try to stay away from stairs. if the hotel had been on the same level there would be nothing to compare
Further Comments: although the hotel is in a back street we could not fault the styling and presence of its decor, every room is themed so you can take your pick and enjoy

Good Points: The best b & b we have ever stayed in. Room, amazing. People, so friendly and welcoming. Food, superb.
Further Comments: Nothing was wrong with the whole experience. The room was fantastic, unique but in no way tacky. Everything was thought of and we couldn't have asked for more. The details on the website described it just as we found it. Easy to walk into the centre of Swansea, and a short easy drive to the beatiful Gower. It has already been recommended and we're going back!!

Good Points: The breakfast
Bad Points: The room was very dark and small The appearance of the room was very weird and would suit someone of psychadelic tendancies. The ceiling was painted with figures looking down
Further Comments: As I was late in booking I had little choice. My choice of hotel was governed by the limited number of hotels which accepted dogs.Although in the end I did not take my dog to this hotel so cannot say how he would have been accepted. It would have been useful to know that the room was small and dark.

Good Points: The spaciousness- food - breakfast - satelite that worked! Had just come from a reputable chain hotel- the Mirador was everything the other wasn't!
Bad Points: There was no side light in the bedroom- apparently it was on order. Need a shower matt
Further Comments: The owners were friendly warm and welcoming. They obviously took great pride and care in their hotel, it had a very individual and quirky feel to it in a very charming way. They're obviously used to parents of university students staying- even offering a free breakfast to said student! The individual touches in the rooms such as full size tolietries, toothbrushes, deodorant etc was very nice- I hope others don't abuse it! Breakfast was super- very good standard of poached eggs! All the reccos for the restaraunts were excellent (we even had a 10% discount at the Vietnamise as we mentioned the Mirador). WiFi and satelite YV were an added bonus. If we have to go to Swansea again we'll definitely book the Mirador and strongly recco to others!

Good Points: made to feel very welcome.
Further Comments: The stay was lovely. The guest house owners couldn't do enough for the us and we were all made to feel welcome. I only stayed for one night, but if I had known what the place was like I would have booked a longer stay

Good Points: Everything was catered for and more, the room was comfortable and very clean.
Bad Points: N/A
Further Comments: The Mirador was as advertised and better again. The Proprietors did not have to do anymore to make us welcome and our stay enjoyable, yet would have found it no problem to cater to any wish. It would be good to mention the exceptional Breakfast, where the guest can choose what they want and how much they want. The Mirador certainly stands out from the crowd and is superb value for money.
