Harleys Aberystwyth

10/10 Excellent

"The room was well presented and secure. It was clean and fresh but there was quite a bit of mildew in the shower. The location was great--close to everything."

Gwesty'r Marine Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely sea front hotel in good location. Room was comfortable, nice restaurants in walking distance and lovely spa, just a shame we didn’t get to try any treatments (no information provided) or the steam room (they took too long to switch it on…)."

Harry's Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location and really friendly staff. Room was a very good size but furniture was a bit dated. All in all we had a good stay."

Celtic Bay Guest House

8/10 Good

"Had a lovely stay here. Staff were helpful, location was perfect, room was really clean and it was amazing to have a sea view and be sent off to sleep by the sound of the waves on shingle! I would have rated it 5 stars if it hadn't been just a bit frayed around the edges - carpet was worn through and it was a shame the double glazing was shot as it was difficult to properly watch the sea through the condensation! Would definitely recommend for a no-frills stay in Aberystwyth."

Plas Hafan, Apartment 2, Aberystwyth

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful apartment with living room and bedroom overlooking the beach. It’s a stunning location with great amenities, very cosy and warm. Ideal for a get away. "
