we booked two double rooms at the Carlton to use while we visited relatives in the Mumbles. Both rooms were clean with small but adequate en suites. We paid £70 per room per night including a full English breakfast. We are all in our late twenties-early thirties and thought the hotel served as a decent base to get out and... More

All the paintwork above that was very shabby and the plants in the pots... More

Booked this hotel on the basis that it was priced around the same rates as most of the B&B's in the mumbles and I thought my money would go further in a hotel - I was wrong.
