The receptionist was very helpful getting us a room we were comfortable in as the first room was just a double bed, not a King or even two twins pushed together. …

Booked for an overnight stay. Great location right on the seafront and only a short walk from the pier, shops and restaurants. Free parking was a bonus as parking in Aber can be a bit of a nightmare. …

Clean, comfortable and welcoming with amazing views in the seafront rooms. The Marine has looked after us regularly for five years now and we have always been happy. I like that every room is different (my favourite is the bathroom with the window so you can have a seaview shower!)

This hotel is great and well priced. We needed somewhere quick as a member of our party was unable to drive back home that evening and I needed to work. We were booked in within minutes for a twin room a breakfast, parking included at the rear of hotel. All staff were pleasant, helpful and happy. The room was clean, bright and comfortable and our room had a great recently fitted shower too. Breakfast was fresh cooked with everything you expect, nice Welsh yogurts and the filter coffee was really nice also. Thanks for a pleasant pit-stop in Aber! We will return for a planned visit.

We stayed here as a last minute decision after tents flooded. Lovely hotel, friendly staff, room had a double bed, single bed, 2 bunk beds, a bath with shower and separate walk in shower, oh and a see view.Breakfast was extra but worth it, plenty of freshly cooked food and coffee brewing constantly, just what I needed.
