As we were travelling by bus and train, we had to opt for a town centre location. So as far as location was concerned The Castle was perfect. …

Fantastic hotel on a budget. Our room was tiny with just a bed and a side drawers but a nice little ensuite with a great shower.All the staff were great and we had fun in the bar during the evening.They had a band on but when we went to bed it didn't seem to travel all the way up to our room.We would deffinately come again.

I've been to the Y castell many times and have always felt welcomed, they have live music on regularly which always goes smoothly. I have also stayed over at y castell after a night of music and have always had a great sleep. …

Called in as the place was open to stay in two rooms taking student to Aberystwyth. I think it took me longer to go in and out than i stayed in the place. Could not just stay in a place were your feet stuck to floor.  …

Loud music from club/bar below, very old fashioned decor, no en suite rooms and the toilet on our floor was dirty. No breakfast served but we didn’t expect much for £45. |The owners were very friendly but we really won’t be visiting again.

My partner and I stayed here whilst we were walking the Llyn coastal path. The staff were very welcoming and went out of their way to help however, this didn’t make up for the room we stayed in. …
