This is more like an AirBnB than a hotel — no front desk, no way to get into the building without an access code. Unfortunately, this is not clear from all of their online listings. …

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, we never entered the building. The door was firmly locked and no key code had been sent, despite receiving an email to the contrary. …

Myself and the wife, along with our youngest daughter had a three bedroom room with a separate bathroom on the first floor, all very good, clean, and tidy with a nice size room. We'll located two minutes from the pier and the see front and with parking only five minutes away. Would book this place again .

I don't know how these reviews are true. My husband and I booked to stay last night, 8th April. We arrived and let ourselves in, the entrance hall is horrible with a cobbled floor. We were given a downstairs room which was absolutely dreadful, it felt like a cave or cell!! It was freezing cold, the bedding and towels felt damp. It had an extremely unpleasant smell of paint. There was a small window high up the wall that you couldn't see out of. The bathroom was so cold and drafty you wouldn't want to shower in there and had a howling draft through a locked, we assume outside door. We stayed about half an hour, didn't see anybody to talk to and managed to book another hotel which was lovely, warm and welcoming in Aberaeron. We can't give no stars so had to give everything one star. Would be nice to get a refund but I don't suppose that will happen. On the website they don't show our awful room.

Arrived yesterday after a long drive to this note on the window!Having to find alternative accommodation over tea time was extremely challenging.To not even be notified of this closure is absolutely terrible!

Nice hotel for what we paid. Self check in was great as we didn`t arrive until 8.30 pm. Room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfy. Close to the beach, restaurants, bars and shops.  …

A great value hotel in the perfect location for the seafront and town, with adequate restaurants and pubs just a short walk away. The owners, like most of Aberystwyth, are very helpful and genial. The rooms are not luxurious but are perfectly adequate and very comfortable. The hotel is dog friendly too. We enjoyed our stay here so much that we will definitely come back.
