Dolphin SA1 is a boutique-style hotel on Whitewalls, Oxford Street, in central Swansea/Abertawe. Its location is the main reason to consider it: the hotel sits close to shops, bars, restaurants, and nightlife, so the stay works well for guests who want the city centre on the doorstep rather than a quieter out-of-town base.

Rooms include free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a writing desk, and an en suite bathroom with either a bath or a shower. The hotel also notes modern boutique-style decoration, warm wall tones, hand-made British furniture, and bedding in the rooms. Suites add a separate sitting area, which gives more space than a standard room.

The stay is practical as well as central. A continental breakfast is delivered to the room, there is an on-site bar, and the front desk operates 24 hours. Local parking is available within walking distance of the hotel, which is useful in this city-centre location.

One real limit is that the rooms do not have air conditioning.
