Problem

Swansea is a vibrant city surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, but there's one big problem! There are zero hostels in the City Centre. Swansea is a backpackers dream, until you find out there's nowhere to stay.

Solution

Situated in the heart of Swansea City Centre, Cwtsh Hostel provides a modern and unique base to explore the city and surrounding areas. We cater to backpackers, explorers, families, school groups, party-goers, and freelancers.

Cwtsh Hostel will be a thriving hub for tourism, promoting all the wonderful places to see and things to do in Swansea and the surrounding areas. Cwtsh Hostel will aid the regeneration of Swansea and entice travellers and tourists from all over the world to Wales.
