Lovely spacious room right on the beach. The only downside was that the bar and restaurant weren’t open due to a change in management.

We loved our spa balcony room at the Waterloo so much that we booked an extra night. We loved the view from our very comfortable room. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. The room was up some stairs on the first floor. I was disappointed that there was no restaurant operating on site. This would have made our stay perfect but there a some other dining options. We would definitely stay here again.

The room is dated, but comfortable. Beds are super comfy and it had all of the basic requirements, including some tea/coffee (pods!). Staff were delightful at both check in and check out. The view is worth alllll of the stars. Spend just a tiny bit more for the ocean view - you won’t regret it. Loved Swansea, and could have stayed at The Waterloo for a week. Also, walk across the road to Alimento cafe. Amazing!!
