“Close to the pier and seafront, this family-oriented hotel positions itself well for Aberystwyth visitors. From what I gathered, room quality can vary quite a bit, so I'd suggest confirming specific room details when booking. However, I believe that the location is a definite plus for those looking to explore the heart of the town.”

The location was great, so close to the seafront! the room was clean and the bed linens felt fresh. the blackout curtains really helped keep the room dark at night. I appreciate that feature. the furniture seemed carefully chosen, too.

The shower pressure was quite weak, though. It was hard to get a good wash. the hallway had a strange smell. I couldn't figure out what it was. also, i noticed some stains on the carpet in the room!
