Clean room and lovely bay view
The room overlooked the bay as described when booking room. The room was clean, but bed was a bit hard and uncomfortable for me. There was a TV but there was no signal to receive any channels.

My first holiday in Aberystwyth
Stay was good, weather great, bed and room comfortable,
Christian conference brilliant and inspiring. Great seafront location, friendly staff. Could consider staying there again. Last night of stay I was disturbed by other guests talking till 3:45 am, not your fault. Finding places to park for free was difficult sometimes, but there always was a space.

Choose somewhere else
In a very poor state of repair carpets threadbare and stained, walls marked and paint peeing off. Table and chairs unstable windows very draughty. Bathroom very dated and although superficially clean toilet bowl was very marked and sealant peeling from around shower that dribbled out.

Comfy and worth it
We stayed there for a day and the room was small but comfy in all sort of means.
Seaside view was awesome and everything was in reachable distance.

Poor
The location is ok. The hotel is very tired and in need of some TLC and staff have no idea what is going on. Carpets and decor definitely not as shown in photos! Sea front rooms have no view as windows completely fogged up and the windows don't work. Carpets and decor are old and stained but the linen was clean. You will need binoculars to watch TV from the bed.

The owner of the guest house and the receptionist were very friendly and welcoming and generally the stay would have been ok except the bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress was hard and lumpy, meaning we had a very poor nights sleep for the 2 nights we stayed. The guest house is though conveniently located on the sea front and it was very clean but a bit out dated. If you stayed in any room but room 2 your stay may be ok.
