I was initially hesitant after reading some mixed reviews online, but after staying at the White Swan, it’s clear they’ve definitely made a lot of improvements. My experience was genuinely excellent! I travel often for work, and this has been one of the best hotel stays I’ve had in a while. The rooms were spotless, modern, and really comfortable—my partner and I were both very impressed. The staff were brilliant—friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Their service really exceeded expectations. Overall, fantastic value for money. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend giving it a try, even if the older reviews made you unsure.

Big old hotel in the centre of Halifax. Perfect for our gig at the piece centre. Huge staircases and appeared clean. We had two rooms, ours was like a prison cell. Windows didn't open, windows actually covered in paper? No view, blacked out, old style shower head over bath and dark room. Television didn't work, coffee cups were dirty ( coffee on spoons)and there was rubbish behind the bin from previous guests. The toilet backed up completely, wouldn't flush, and the sink wouldn't empty Nothing done about the television despite me reporting it at 7 pm and nobody came to fix the toilet. The man on the desk at 7 pm just shrugged. ( The lovely girl on the desk at midnight was incredibly apologetic about the toilet, but as it was midnight couldn't fix anything. She was lovely though and very sorry) Fortunately my daughter had a room on the third floor. Like a different hotel! Bright, airy, clean, modern bathroom ( toilet not level to the top with sh*t like ours ) We used hers to shower. Thank god. When we left the lad on the desk wasn't too bothered. No real apology, we were just told we could claim the money back through *******. I explained this was hassle for us and said I'd be in touch about a free stay in a better room. He was incredibly nonchalant. We will stay again as the location was perfect, but if my daughter hadn't had a room we would have not been able to wash, shower or use the toilet at all ( plus sleeping in a room with a toilet full of poo ten feet away wasn't great)

OK for a budget stay. The staff are trying, the place is clean, new carpet, recently painted and there is hot water. Bed comfy enough. No hairdryer in room, heating was on in June but did turn off, tv aerial knackered so no signal at all. Think Best Western faded grandeur, great location.

This hotel cancelled our booking at too short notice for us to find an alternative with no reason. Really unacceptable to not provide an explanation. Do not book here if you need somewhere reliable - as you may be let down.

Booked excecutive double wouldnt like to see an ordinary double Windows in the room were all frosted the onl window with clear glass looked out onto a dirty fire escape the bed was at a you couldnt easily out of it the mattress dipped in the middle so we both rolled into the middle . There was water in the kettle cups heavy and thick and no glasses on the tray like you expect in an executive room .The tv was only small screen tv The only saving grace was the bathroom lovely shower and modern We spoke to reception staff when we left who were very nice they advised us to e mail they gave us e mail address but unfortunatley appears not to be in use

Booked this hotel for an event 4 months in advance as a non cancellation. We booked here for the convenience of being in town and not having to rely on taxis. They cancelled on us 2 weeks prior to the event! Tried to book somewhere else in town but everywhere was full so had to use a Airbnb around 4 miles away. Be warned.
