"Staff really friendly and helpful. Location couldn’t be better just a few minutes to the beach. Overall we would recommend staying here to anyone visiting Aberystwyth."
"Overall nice hotel, above a bar which can be a bit noisy if you want an early night.
Only real complaint is there was a lot of loud door slamming in the morning on one day."
"The proximity to the promenade and shops was perfect. Parking was excellent, we parked for free for nearly three days. It was enjoyable to sit on the verandah and watch the world go by.
Reception staff and in the dining room were very polite and helpful. The dining room appeared to have been recently decorated and we both thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts."
"Beautifully situated in the Welsh hillsides with fantastic views and at the side of a waterfall this 230 year old coaching inn is modern in all requisites and is maintained in superb condition gaining 5/5 in hygiene standards. The hosts are welcoming and friendly and go above and beyond to make their guests feel at home."

"Staff really friendly and helpful. Location couldn’t be better just a few minutes to the beach. Overall we would recommend staying here to anyone visiting Aberystwyth."
"A lovely hotel with spacious and comfortable rooms. Excellent location within walking distance of Aberystwyth. Breakfast and evening meals were good. Friendly and efficient staff. "
"Lovely welcome on arrival. Arrived at 3pm and got one of the last 3 parking spaces bethel. Later discovered a bigger car park linked to hotel across the road.
Hotel was clean and well kept for an older building. My room was spacious but the other 2 rooms booked for family were a little tight.
Breakfast was top notch"
"Excellent quality accommodation, situated within sight of the sea front. Very tidy well maintained property, quiet and comfortable.
Only problem was car parking facility, which was a council owned park opposite. Charges were very high hourly, £7 for a day.
In all, an excellent break. "
"The staff were very friendly and helpful. They stored our luggage before check-in and after we checked out the room. There’s also a small bar and dining options in the hotel. The hotel is also very close to the beach and close to the train station. "
"I was fortunate to have a front facing triple room which was huge! The view out of the window over the bay was excellent.
There is a lift but it is a very old one and only takes one person at a time.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Parking is free, but only on the street and first come...
Breakfast was included and fabulous. Evening meal not included and I struggled to find somewhere to eat on a Sunday night. The recommended hotel stopped at 6pm and I ended up in a KFC which would not have been my first choice. That is not a criticism of the hotel, just a fact.
