The Carlton Hotel Mumbles

The staff were very helpful and friendly. We stayed in a double room with a sea view and it was a bit small mainly because there was only space to hang a few clothes and nowhere really to put suitcases. The road was quite busy but quietened down early in the night. There are only a few parking spaces in front of the hotel and getting one is difficult so parking in the car park opposite is used at £6 for a day (8:00 to 23:00). Table in the bay window gives good views of the bay and good restaurants nearby.

Even though difficult times for the trade felt that the hotel lacked a lot of TLC. The en-suite patio hadn’t been cared or tended for in months I suspect. No cooked breakfast, still advertising that they do one, and fully understand why they are not doing it but the substitute continental breakfast of bottle of juice and a croissant only on first morning was a shock. They did supply more items on subsequent morning. I am sure it must improve as, hopefully, we leave lockdown.

I stayed for one night. I had a sea view room on the first floor. The room was a good size with an en-suite bedroom. The bed was comfy and the room was quite a good size. It's a great location in the centre of the Mumbles promenade. It's between the pier and the shops so nothing is particularly far away.
