Great location if traveling by train as it is next door to the station. Although the staff is nice and friendly, we will not go back. Had TV in room but no remote. The staff gave us 3 remotes to try and none were compatible. In fairness after a couple of hours in the room and 2 different attempts to find one to work. They offered to move us to a different room. After a 10 hour flight and 4 hour train ride (due to a death in the family) we were too tired to pack up and move.
The heating unit did not keep the room warm but did keep the room light all night (with help from a phone jack, ). Shower size was small. USB charger in room did not work. Super disappointed as I have wanted to stay here since we moved to Wales. Just not worth the cost.

Breakfast was superb, and service from Sam was excellent. Good location. Cheap parking at NCP next door. Room was rather tired in places (mould on windowsill, bathroom door frame damaged, bathroom ceiling stained and flaky). Overall, excellent value for money

Pleasantly surprised with the Grand Hotel. Stylish rooms that had been fairly recently refurbished. Comfy bed. Good supply of tea, coffee, milk etc. Room was quiet despite being next to the station. Only downside it was a little stuffy as windows don't open. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced parking next door in station NCP. A good base for exploring the Gower Peninsula.

A lovely hotel, very very clean, and the staff are professional and welcoming. We were upgraded to a beautiful penthouse room and - amongst other things - the hot tub was amazing! Bathroom spotless. Housekeeping and management are clearly top notch.
