Overall a good stay. Very friendly helpful staff and an easy distance to walk into town. The restaurant stopped serving evening meals at 8.30pm which we thought was a little early, but the meal we had in the restaurant was excellent!

Ok base for Aber
Great base for Aberystwyth. Was rather cramped for 4 of us (2 adults, 2 teenagers) but was fine. The biggest issue was the bathroom which was really dated. It really quickly streamed up (room4) and the condensation on the mirror ran everywhere.
It's not changed since we last stayed which worries me that it's going to start getting really tired soon.

Can't believe the quality of the room for the price got a last minute deal for £45. The room was brilliant very new and modern well laid out and friendly staff. And the food at the restaurant was excellent. Can't fault it and I will definitely use it again if I go back to Aberystwyth.

Haven in the recent stormy weather.
Stormy weather closed in from the West and we chose this hotel as a halfway point between home and our destination to break the journey. The following morning, staff were very friendly and helpful looking up local weather and road reports for us and offering to extend our stay if needs be. The restaurant was very pleasant, the food well presented and tasty.
