Variety and Selection of Stalls

"Great indoor market with probably everything you could need or want."
"Its a great market. There are so many different types of stalls, from veg stalls, butchers, bakers, sandwiches, hot meals from roasts to Thai, fish stalls, jewellery, flowers, pets, clothing alterations, book stalls, clock & watches to a very well stocked hardware stall."
"A vibrant indoor market that has a good variety of goods, but excels at fresh sea food (cockles, laverbread being highlights), great butchers and great local food."
"Amazing market with a lots of things fabric, parfumerie, makeup, spices, tool, pads, postcard, sticks video games, fresh fish, meat and vegetables."
"So many stalls selling so many things, fresh fruit and veg, fish, butchers, bread, Welsh cakes and various food outlets including Thai, Mexican, Jamaican, English as well as others."
Cons:
"It's not too bad, too many food outlets and cafes, there not enough shops to attract people so how there so many cafes is a mystery."
"The smell of cooked food outlets all over the market..and not that many individuals shops selling bespoke products available."
"This place is losing its charm .... empty stalls and just a run down feeling makes you won't to run for the hills ..... swansea city council need to open their eyes...."
"Good quality food and goods but a few low end retailers. ..beware Seafood rotundra...bought some cockles already in container...how long is the question.??..went to eat next day....odour more sewer than sea...beware..!!!!...gives bad name to otherwise quality fishmongers in market."
"As nice as it is, it didn't live up to what I was expecting, there was some good fish on display, but it is just an indoor market, nothing as special as I have been remembering in the days gone by."
"Food is sold cold, if you ask to warm up to eat there, no can-do either!"
"Can be very confusing where exits are, signposting would be nice."
Accessibility and Convenience
Pros:
"Various entrances to the market depending where you are."
"Easy access to the bus station and railway station, and the building is directly linked to the Quadrant Shopping Centre."
"Accessible entrances and walkways."
"Always a wonderful selection of trades, products, eateries. Fully under cover."
"Brilliant indoor market with several entrances. It so great to see small businesses doing well."
"The largest market in Wales has nearly everything you could need and want from an indoor market."
"Beautiful and interesting market under cover of huge glass domed roof, they cater to all covering a very wide range of services."
Cons:
"Nobody accepts card or contactless debit for that matter."
"Needs a good clean and a makeover, looking very tired now."
"There's no parking as it's in the center of town however there is parking around the town."
"Ah, if you need to go to the toilet, there's only a very small one miles away inside the shopping mall, if it's Saturday the queue turns around the corner."
"The only trouble is there is only one disabled toilet."
"It can become exceptionally busy so anyone with Disabilities need to be aware of this and plan for it, for those with walking aids and wheelchairs they need to be extra careful as chairs from coffee shops and eateries often get in the way."
"To eat your cold food you'll need to stand as there are no seating areas."

"Market had everything i wanted and at reasonable and competitive prices. The only drawback for me was that a number of shoppers were not adhering to the requirements of social distancing."
"Quartztime (watch shop) located at 58c gave a very poor customer service. Purchased two batteries, 1 was open, the other 8 years out of date!! Requested a refund only for the money to be thrown on the counter! Will not use again!!!"
