Good location, good evening meal in hotel but very disappointing room

Good location, friendly staff

Overpriced room , not what I expected. Small room, unable to open windows so uncomfortably warm during night

Utterly relaxing and charming

Local town hotel, such a change from the usual corporates. Right next to the town. The Swan had some atmosphere and so good to relax for a few days. Room was big enough, shower worked, bed was comfy. A little bit old fashioned perhaps but what would you expect in Hay! Afternoon and evenings was very warm so a drink in the garden was pretty near perfection.

Extractor fan in the bathroom rattled a bit. Might be time to replace it. Otherwise can't think of anything we did not like

Located close to River Wye for footpaths, and close to town centre for Hay castle and bookshops

Breakfast was unadventurous, but well presented.

Vegan option at lunch could have done with side dishes of vegetables.

Very comfy room in this beautiful town!

Excellent location in this beautiful book town. The meals a friend and I had were lovely. Fluffy towels, decent parking, friendly staff, spacious room.

Nothing, just a bit pricy, but it's Hay on Eye :o)

Superb

Big room. Very relaxing in the sofa's and arm chairs in the bar areas. Lovely steak meal.

The large double bed had a 'mound' going right down the middle. So it was a bit like sleeping in two single beds.

Very poor

Location

Deluxe rooms are very very small and dated. Not very clean. Part of finger nail found on bedside cabinet. Very poor attitude of manager. Not worth the money. There are far better hotels in hay for more reasonable prices.

staff fab/ Food disappointing

Staff friendly and attentive.We had our pooch with us and she was very well looked after 😁. Nothing was to much trouble. Hotel comfy but tired. Puddings yummy.

Visited during a very cold w/e but Hotel too warm! Heating on full blast 24hrs ? The bill must be HUGE.Had to sleep with window fully open 🙁 Had one meal at hotel.Not that great. Not very warm, steak not very good quality for the price and steak & ale pie very disappointing.

Great location, lovely staff.

great location . lovely staff

we stayed for an evening meal on Saturday night - the food wasn’t great . The tomato soup tasted like a cheap tin of plum tomatoes had been puréed . The fish and chips had been fried in slightly off cooking fat (it tasted old -as if reused from earlier , or it had gone rancid ) . The whole downstairs kitchen corridor smelled of nasty cooking fat all evening . It was a shame because we had a perfectly nice meal on the Friday night.

very enjoyable

the building was stunning, our room was lovely, very clean, lovely atmosphere.

evidently they were on reduced staffing levels which I understand but there were delays trying to find service at the bar or reception at different times BUT the staff there were all lovely and worth the wait!

Smart, clean and comfortable and a perfect location

Friendly staff. Lovely ambience. Very clean. Great breakfast.

If I had to be picky, just the lack of power from the shower
