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.

Overall a lovely property. Checkin was easy and the room was clean and had all the essentials. It was however very hot in the room and quite difficult to cool to a comfortable temperature. But overall a great stay.

Good as usual

We have stayed here many times and it’s always to our liking. The room and bathroom were clean, comfortable and well equipped. The staff on check in were friendly. We only have one little complaint - when booking online I chose the option to pay on arrival at the hotel, but 24 hours before our booking, the hotel took the money off my card. I know that time was the cut off for free cancellation, but I feel they should have waited until I arrived before taking the payment. I know they had my card details and I knew I would have to pay for one night even if I didn’t show up, but felt it was a bit cheeky taking it before I’d had chance to arrive and pay in person.

Clean, well presented accommodation. Plenty of parking, free of charge and directly outside rooms. Easy check in and check out. Pub on site offering food - very friendly and helpful staff. A little walk into town, probably a good 10 minutes. However, can drive in and out as parking plentiful. Only £6 for taxi right to the sea front. Would stay again
