Great place to stay in Aberystwyth

Great place to stay whilst exploring Aberystwyth. Clean and quiet with helpful, friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. On site, free parking was a bonus. Easy walk to the sea front. Would definitely stay there again.

Ideal location for spending some time in Aberystwyth.Nice, clean, spacious rooms with comfy beds, also most importantly, comfy pillows. Good quality food especially the fish and chips. If this is something that you enjoy be prepared, the fish is what you would call a "whale on a plate".Also recommend, the cherry and apple crumble, WOW.

Overall a good stay. Very friendly helpful staff and an easy distance to walk into town. The restaurant stopped serving evening meals at 8.30pm which we thought was a little early, but the meal we had in the restaurant was excellent!

Ok base for Aber

Great base for Aberystwyth. Was rather cramped for 4 of us (2 adults, 2 teenagers) but was fine. The biggest issue was the bathroom which was really dated. It really quickly streamed up (room4) and the condensation on the mirror ran everywhere. It's not changed since we last stayed which worries me that it's going to start getting really tired soon.

Housekeeping was brilliant but minor things let the hotel down slightly. Namely one reading light not working,only one light working in the bathroom and tv remote not working after the first night. All things that could have been reported but as we were only there for three nights and extremely busy during the day these things were relatively unimportant and didn’t impact on our enjoyment in the slightest. Would definitely stay there again.
