Very nice staff and comfortable bed however the carpet was old and worn to the point where there was hoops of carpet big enough to trip me by the bathroom door and sharp pins sticking up from under the window where it should hold down the carpet but there was not much carpet left there .. a few stains on the wall but other than that enjoyed it

Nice views - through dirty, permanently locked windows. No ventilation or ac, no window to open. Free car park means park on the street. Very nartow shower - average person will struggle to get inside. To use the kettle, you need to put it on the floor - cable too short to connect it in position from the photo. Good things: kitchen. Beach at the other side of the road. Lot of dining options

Position was great. No mirror in bedroom or power in bathroom which meant you had to stand outside bathroom to dry your hair. Shower difficult to get into and move around but shower was good. Threadbare carpets on stairs. Blinds had no controller. Having said the above I would return purely for the position.

The hosts we really nice! The rooms were fine, the seafront views were lovely. However, heat was not on the first night and it was quite cold. Additionally, the hallway had quite a musty smell. The building is a bit run down. Overall, for the price, it was a decent stay and I would come back in a pinch!

Threadbare carpet throughout the property, Stained bed sheets, it took the staff one hour to change the bedding with no apologies for the inconvenience , no ensuite as the shower was in a rotten cupboard, this property is not fit for human habitation.
Hairs in the bed, not mine
Stains on the sheet, also not mine

Very run down guest house but good location.

Fantastic location by the beach with on street parking, but very run down guest house. Handed a key when arrived by friendly cafe owner, though no direction to room or info provided. Found our way. Dangerously fraying stair carpet, broken old blinds and lights. Bathroom was clean with hot water and good tea and coffee facilities but the room was dusty, the fan broken and very uncomfortable beds you could feel the springs through. Heated argument in early the morning by ( assume) residents downstairs that went on for some time, with no one on site to intervene. A real shame given the great location.

You expect a hotel but you see a run down hostel entrance. We wind through hallways with ripped shredded carpets. The room faces ocean. Bedding looks white and ironed. Carpets are still shredded to threads! Leaves impression of total neglect by management. Only bright side was cheery man who checked us in (from West Africa I suspect). We left after 1 night of a 3 night reservation. No refund. My advice: Give Aberystwyth a miss entirely and especially this place.
