Central accommodation, right on the promenade. The man who checked us in was friendly, informative with clear instructions. Beds were comfortable and linen very clean. The towels smelled lovely. Plenty of room in the bathroom. Handy to the shops. Free parking outside

Position was great. No mirror in bedroom or power in bathroom which meant you had to stand outside bathroom to dry your hair. Shower difficult to get into and move around but shower was good. Threadbare carpets on stairs. Blinds had no controller. Having said the above I would return purely for the position.

Threadbare carpet throughout the property, Stained bed sheets, it took the staff one hour to change the bedding with no apologies for the inconvenience , no ensuite as the shower was in a rotten cupboard, this property is not fit for human habitation.
Hairs in the bed, not mine
Stains on the sheet, also not mine

Nice place and good value, but tired.

Great view and overall I was happy with the accommodation. Carpet is a bit threadbare and bathroom door needs to be slammed to shut. It was clean and today and for my purposes it was fine. Location is great and the view is amazing.

The bed was a bit hard and the parking options are not great, but other than that it’s a good hotel with easy walking access to everything in aberystwyth

Liked: Cleanliness
The hosts we really nice! The rooms were fine, the seafront views were lovely. However, heat was not on the first night and it was quite cold. Additionally, the hallway had quite a musty smell. The building is a bit run down. Overall, for the price, it was a decent stay and I would come back in a pinch!

Very run down guest house but good location.

Fantastic location by the beach with on street parking, but very run down guest house. Handed a key when arrived by friendly cafe owner, though no direction to room or info provided. Found our way. Dangerously fraying stair carpet, broken old blinds and lights. Bathroom was clean with hot water and good tea and coffee facilities but the room was dusty, the fan broken and very uncomfortable beds you could feel the springs through. Heated argument in early the morning by ( assume) residents downstairs that went on for some time, with no one on site to intervene. A real shame given the great location.

You expect a hotel but you see a run down hostel entrance. We wind through hallways with ripped shredded carpets. The room faces ocean. Bedding looks white and ironed. Carpets are still shredded to threads! Leaves impression of total neglect by management. Only bright side was cheery man who checked us in (from West Africa I suspect). We left after 1 night of a 3 night reservation. No refund. My advice: Give Aberystwyth a miss entirely and especially this place.

The reception member of staff was excellent throughout our stay. Very friendly and approachable. I can’t comment on the service of the room as there wasn’t any. The room was very clean and equipped with a good hairdryer, ironing board and iron if you needed it along with soap and shampoo etc. The whole building is very tired and could do with money being spent on it especially the stair carpet which is thread bare in places and could be a hazard. It was fine for our needs.
