Communication was great. Naomi at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. A few quirks like some difficulty opening the door, and limited front desk hours, but I would definitely recommend it and would be comfortable staying there again.

This was an absolutely amazing. The staff and the entire town were fabulous. Accommodation was superb and the views of the ocean just outside our room were the icing on the cake. The surrounding venues for hospitality were friendly and I completely recommend Swansea RSL for a great tasting and great value meals! If I could give The Waterloo10 stars I would! Amazing place and amazing value!
