8/10 Very good

The reception member of staff was excellent throughout our stay. Very friendly and approachable. I can’t comment on the service of the room as there wasn’t any. The room was very clean and equipped with a good hairdryer, ironing board and iron if you needed it along with soap and shampoo etc. The whole building is very tired and could do with money being spent on it especially the stair carpet which is thread bare in places and could be a hazard. It was fine for our needs.

Sadly degraded since our last visit

Friendly staff and fantastic communication to ensure we arrived with details of how to check-in etc. We have stayed at this hotel and left ok-good reviews, however, on this occassion we are sad to say we weren't impressed. It's a shame because it's in a perfect location, the building has great character and the staff are very approachable. It just appears that whoever is in charge doesn't want to spend any money on the neccessary basics. The room was extremely tired (Room 7). The bathroom fan didn't work, the fitting holding the curtain fell halfway down every time we opened the curtains. Wallpaper had come off the walls in sections. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable, checking under the bed there was actually a panel missing too. The worst being that the door to the room actually had a large gap at the bottom which meant that you might as well had not had a door attached as you could hear ever conversation in the hallway and in the opposite room. We had to put a coat down to block out the hallway light. Last time we visited there were available plates available to anyone in the kitchen area. The carpet on the stairs was beginning to come away. Unfortunately, this time it felt like we were using plates that belonged to someone who appeared to live there as the only options in the (unclear) commune cupboards were a mix-match of large bowls and one plate amongst other kitchenware.

Kettles were fully rusted and window main glass was covered with fog which should be cleaned so have proper view of sea. Main window was unable to open.

2/10 Poor

Corners have been cut

Bit gutted writing this as I never ever want to knock a small business, not sure if the photos will upload but the carpets are falling apart, some of the ceiling paint fell onto the bed when we arrived as well as dust on the bed. Bed was comfortable although incredibly loud and creaky which led to poor sleep and constantly waking up. Room is damp in places. Definitely needs some tlc, shower and toilet leaking couldn’t find anyone to speak to. Table for teas and coffee right up against the bed, a smaller table for the room would make a massive improvement. The whole place could do with some love has some potential to make the rooms a bit more welcoming. Should change name from Guest House to Hostel, as Guest House is a little misleading. Did like the easy key pick up and drop off and the extension lead. Even if it was called a hostel, unfortunately I wouldn’t return:( I hope this feedback is somewhat useful.

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately we had booked this property, however we had to check in at the adjoining hotel and given a room in that property which was not the room i had booked and was too small.and the bed was only a small.double and so old and uncomfortable we hardly slept! Toilet didnt flush properly. I had booked a superior double in the hotel next door which i believe is owned by the same person. Will not be staying at either after this experience.

Accomodating & Lovely staff and easy to check in. Rooms are nice and spacious. Didn't use the cooking facilities but it looked very well equipped. If you go for a seaside view, the view is lovely.

This is very much a budget self catering accommodation that feels a bit hostel/HMO However its situated right on seafront with easy walking to any part of Aberystwyth. They also have lovely little cafe downstairs with lovely staff. Room was basic and a bit tight, but we were out and about each day so not an issue.

8/10 Very good

The chap who was on reception during our stay (Abdallah - apologies if I've misremembered, or misspelt, his name) was welcoming, helpful, pleasant and friendly. The room was very comfortable, and the presence of a fridge was very welcome, as was access to the kitchen downstairs. In the bathroom, the shower was great, but the toilet was a little bit tall/raised up, making it a bit awkward to sit on, and the seat wouldn't stay up on its own and had to be held in place in case it fell back down. The coffee and cake in the cafe downstairs were lovely and reasonably priced. Some of the carpet on the stairs was a little worn and, while it wasn't a problem for us, it could be a potential safety issue if it's not replaced/repaired soon. Overall, an enjoyable stay.
