Comfortable clean and welcoming Breakfast was a little disappointing because I felt the croissant were a bit dry, the juice a bit weak, and the tea unlike previous tea and no vegan spread , I had mentioned this I was dairy free prior on booking sheet.

Frustrating Experience Despite Good Potential

Sadly, our stay at The Starling Cloud left us disappointed. When checking in, we found the breakfast pricing didn’t match what was shown during online check-in, even though I’d called ahead and was assured it would be the same. After arrival, only three beds were made up despite the booking clearly being for two adults and two children, so I had to return to reception to get the final bed sorted. On top of that, the TV remote didn’t work, which was frustrating after a long day. Overall, it felt like a series of small issues that added up to a poor experience.

The room was very nice and clean, the bed was too soft for me, but the wife thought it was wonderful. It also had a bath which is a bonus.

The room was good, bed comfortable and all was clean. However I wouldn't stay again because the breakfast was poor. A continental breakfast was just just cereals and mass produced brown or white bread/toast, no cheese or cold meats. The coffee was instant sachets! - I haven't experienced any comparable accomodation provider only offering instant coffee for breakfast. For the cost the standard should have been much better. The other thing I didn't like was the unnecessary amount of emails from expedia.

We stayed from 29 June to 2July. Our room was a lovely large family room which was quiet, clean, cool and airy throughout our stay.. I am very particular about bedding and during our stay we had immaculately clean and pressed bedding and towels for the bathroom. Bedding and towels fresh on arrival and changed on day 3. Staff were very professional, polite and helpful on check-in, during and through out our stay and checkout.Thumbs up to housekeeping. Online check-in was great. As was our welcome on arrival.

Good hotel in Aberystwyth, good location just outside the centre. The Inn is a rooms only block next to the restaurant. Room itself was basic but the essentials were very good ie. Cleanliness, comfy bed, air conditioning, range of pillows ensuite facilities.

Staff were really great. Room was nice and clean. We kept waking up. Mattress was really comfortable but got uncomfortably warm (I’m guessing it’s memory foam). Ended up laying on top of duvet. Went for dinner. Was disappointed as the server told us they didn’t have any steaks or mixed grill. Looked through the menu but decided to eat elsewhere. The following day we chose to not have breakfast there. So can’t give feedback on food. We’ve stayed at a few Marston inns and would definitely stay there again.
