A lovely place but the stairwell is barely wide enough to pass people on and the seats in the theatre really are not designed for anyone over 5' 5".

We have visited Swansea so many times and had never been into this lovely little museum dedicated to Swansea's favourite son. The Castles in the Sky walking trail brought us here and we found the displays interesting and informative. Entry is free although donations are requested.

Excellent! Fascinating with some awesome artefacts to boot! The 2 friendly ladies who work there were really informed and knowledgeable about Dylan and were more than helpful while happily sharing their obvious passion for the man of words. A visit here is highly recommended. Top stuff!

We found the Dylan Thomas centre to be well presented and very informative. I thought I knew enough about the legendary Welsh poet but the exhibits gave me a bigger insight in to Dylan's life. The space is bright and colourful and easy to navigate and suitable for push chairs / wheelchairs. There is some trail sheets for the children and daily activities which take place in the educational room for a suggested donation of £3. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and left with a new found knowledge on the life of Dylan Thomas.

Wonderfully designed space - allows you to go through the poet s life and works with clearly presented documents and evidence. Audio and visual installations really effective. Great additional space for kids too! The venue is really worth visiting.... we almost did not: the side of the building facing the town centre has Dylan Thomas Centre written on it, but is not open to the public - one needs to go to the other side - facing the waterfront... organisers: please label entrance better for those coming from town centre. The place is really great and a most valuable resource! Well done Swansea.

Midweek family lunch. Phone call made prior to visiting to ensure food was available as last time we visited no food available due to fryers not working. On entering this establishment we noticed a cat inside premises drinking milk from a cup on the floor in the restaurant. The whole place had an unpleasant stale aroma and very cold dark and dingy. The tables sticky and menus the same. Service limited and unfriendly. Large notices advising no vegan food available. We eventually made our choices and ordered at the bar. Food arrived promptly on warm plates. Portions quite small but food was reasonable. Overall a ok ish visit but this place is in desperate need of a good deep clean and would benefit from re decorating. Would we re visit or recommend, probably not.
