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

1 night stay on business

This was my first trip to this Hotel. Friendly staff on arrival and during stay. Room clean tidy and quiet and well stocked with tea milk and coffee. Air con worked and you could open the windows for some fresh sea air. I used the restaurant for my evening meal and breakfast. Food service was quick with hot and good pub food. Breakfast was great again with friendly staff. My only minor issue (third world problem) was that breakfast service didn’t start until 8am, which is a bit late if you are on business. I would definitely stay again when next on business in the area. I was initially a bit hesitant because of some pretty damming past reviews but I was very satisfied with my 1 night business stay.

Can't believe the quality of the room for the price got a last minute deal for £45. The room was brilliant very new and modern well laid out and friendly staff. And the food at the restaurant was excellent. Can't fault it and I will definitely use it again if I go back to Aberystwyth.

Nice rooms, awful breakfast.

Comfortable rooms, as good as Premier Inn. The pub - where breakfast and dinner is served - is across the car park from the hotel. When it’s raining you get soaking wet. Marston could build a walkway between the two which would help enormously. The pub was modern style, comfortable but not what you’d call cosy. Staff very friendly but cheaply too few of them. Dinner plates weren’t cleared during the evening and if you weren’t eating you were directed to sit at the back of the pub - where people were eating anyway! So we had no choice but to sit amongst the smelly plates of previous diners. Not good. Breakfast was, frankly, awful. Overcooked, bacon as hard as cardboard, black pudding as limp as Charles Hawtrey’s handshake, hash browns as stiff as rigamortis. This food must have been sitting under the hot lights on the pass for at least 2 hours. No croissant, no yoghurt, no fruit, no orange juice. Even at £8.75 it was rotten value. Would I stay here again? Only if the Premier Inn is full and I’m not hungry.

Haven in the recent stormy weather.

Stormy weather closed in from the West and we chose this hotel as a halfway point between home and our destination to break the journey. The following morning, staff were very friendly and helpful looking up local weather and road reports for us and offering to extend our stay if needs be. The restaurant was very pleasant, the food well presented and tasty.
