"Only stayed for one night due to a family funeral in the area. We stopped in a 2 bedroom family room. The rooms were clean, smelt fresh and were big enough for what we needed.. staff were wonderful and helpful. Breakfast was included in the price (continental breakfast only) and was adequate, im not a breakfast person but my kids enjoyed it."

10/10 Excellent
"Great location right on the sea front. Lovely rooms and very comfy bed. The bedrooms and on suites appear to have all been recently renovated. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely. The only slight drawback is the parking - there isn't any. So, we had to risk parking on a random street away from the hotel. Also, the air vent for the kitchen extraction is like an aircraft engine blasting away right at the front of the building where the outdoor seating is."

8/10 Good
"Had a lovely stay here. Staff were helpful, location was perfect, room was really clean and it was amazing to have a sea view and be sent off to sleep by the sound of the waves on shingle! I would have rated it 5 stars if it hadn't been just a bit frayed around the edges - carpet was worn through and it was a shame the double glazing was shot as it was difficult to properly watch the sea through the condensation! Would definitely recommend for a no-frills stay in Aberystwyth."
