Good value for central Aberystwyth, hotel building separate from pub and reception so quieter than you would expect.
Room clean, check in was straightforward, staff were very friendly and accommodating.
We only had breakfast on one day which was poached egg and avocado on toast - nothing very special about this. The evening meal, again we only had one each - sea bass and chicken and ham pie, both meals were good. The summer fruit crumble was also very good.
As.always clean room lovely evening meals and good breakfast very friendly staff and we would like to thank Dave who severed us with our evening meal and breakfast
The room was great - huge comfy bed, clean & comfortable.
I wouldnt have hesistated to stay here agin if it werent for a horrible interaction with a staff member at breakfast.
Staff absolutely need some customer service training & the manager needs to support them with this.
The room was tidy, the bed was amazing and super comfy. The restaurant staff were lovely. Overall we felt welcome and for the price when booking ahead, we would stay again!
We had a problem with the allocated room being on the first floor snd my wife being in a wheelchair. Staff were brilliant in arranging a change of room eith other guests. Also had an excellent evening meal with our family.

The TV did not work at all, a staff member came out and said they couldn't mend it or move us to anotherbroom
We didn't eat other than breakfast which was absolutely fine. The young lady who looked after us seemed to have everything under control and was very pleasant. The guy from Leeds during the day and evening seemed totally rushed off his feet and on his own... did everything he could to keep things running as smooth as possible. Obviously he couldn't be everywhere at the same time!
Friendly staff very nice room huge super king size bed Very comfy the room has climate control so set it as you wish. Plenty of free parking. Bar stock was a bit low but it is October. Food is really good. The bed was so very comfy would certainly stay here again.
