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.

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.

Good as usual
We have stayed here many times and it’s always to our liking. The room and bathroom were clean, comfortable and well equipped. The staff on check in were friendly. We only have one little complaint - when booking online I chose the option to pay on arrival at the hotel, but 24 hours before our booking, the hotel took the money off my card. I know that time was the cut off for free cancellation, but I feel they should have waited until I arrived before taking the payment. I know they had my card details and I knew I would have to pay for one night even if I didn’t show up, but felt it was a bit cheeky taking it before I’d had chance to arrive and pay in person.
