Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Dragon Hotel offers guests sizable rooms, some boasting city views, and comes equipped with tea and coffee making facilities. The hotel's central location provides easy access to nearby amenities, and many appreciate the complimentary breakfast. The bar area is also considered nice; however, some guests have noted that the carpets in the stairwell and some room carpets show wear. For those planning events, the Margam Room is available and has been used for wedding receptions.
