Hotel average at best, but it was cheap so you get what you paid for. No lifts, shower in a closet, with carpet on the floor.
Staff extremely friendly helpful.

Central accommodation, right on the promenade. The man who checked us in was friendly, informative with clear instructions. Beds were comfortable and linen very clean. The towels smelled lovely. Plenty of room in the bathroom. Handy to the shops. Free parking outside

Nice place and good value, but tired.
Great view and overall I was happy with the accommodation. Carpet is a bit threadbare and bathroom door needs to be slammed to shut. It was clean and today and for my purposes it was fine. Location is great and the view is amazing.

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.

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.

Very run down guest house but good location.
Fantastic location by the beach with on street parking, but very run down guest house. Handed a key when arrived by friendly cafe owner, though no direction to room or info provided. Found our way. Dangerously fraying stair carpet, broken old blinds and lights. Bathroom was clean with hot water and good tea and coffee facilities but the room was dusty, the fan broken and very uncomfortable beds you could feel the springs through. Heated argument in early the morning by ( assume) residents downstairs that went on for some time, with no one on site to intervene. A real shame given the great location.

You expect a hotel but you see a run down hostel entrance. We wind through hallways with ripped shredded carpets. The room faces ocean. Bedding looks white and ironed. Carpets are still shredded to threads! Leaves impression of total neglect by management. Only bright side was cheery man who checked us in (from West Africa I suspect). We left after 1 night of a 3 night reservation. No refund. My advice: Give Aberystwyth a miss entirely and especially this place.

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.
