The Grand Hotel enjoys a prime location right across from Swansea train station, making it ideal for travelers. Guests often compliment the good food, particularly the Sunday lunch sharing board, which has been described as one of the best dinners ever, and the generous Terry's chocolate orange cheesecake. Many appreciate the big, spacious rooms, and some rooms even include a fridge.
