Hotel berhampiran Penparcau Allotments, Aberystwyth

Pros - Very pretty location, view from our deluxe double room was stunning, especially at sun set. All the standard amenities you’d expect from a modern hotel, free on site parking is also a plus. Staff were very pleasant. Lovely having a jacuzzi bath even though we didn’t get time to use it. Very handy location, close to main shops, bars and restaurants. Breakfast was ok, cooked breakfast options and cereals etc & a small selection of fruit. Spa facilities are limited but were nice and quiet Cons - given its location, the exterior decor requires quite a bit of maintenance Inside is quite dated and simple things like our bathroom door not closing easily, bathroom tiles being made to fit around the bath instead of perhaps making into a recess for shelving, bathroom mirror light not working, no safety rails in front of sash window etc. Regular maintenance could solve all this. Floor levels through out the hotel are not level, which is made especially difficult when the carpet disguises this. Can be quite a hazard for more elderly guests. Again simple things at breakfast like someone greeting us at the door for our room number & table, napkins on tables, labels on fruit juices to identify what they are (especially for allergy purposes), tea spoons for stirring sugar were all missing. Not much lighting in the sauna and jacuzzi was quite cold. Fix these little things and it will go a long way to improve a hotel which has so much more potential. Will we be back? Possibly, perhaps when these easy to fix things are resolved

little gem of a place to stay, right on the promenade, with a sea view from my single room, room was lovely, nicely presented with a comfortable bed and nice clean toilet, staff on desk at check in very friendly , took me up to room and carried my bag for me, for a couple of nights stay it was perfect, there was no noise from other guests, or from the road outside, where there was free parking, i had no trouble finding a space to park, for a seaside town in the middle of summer the location was brilliant, i will certainly use this guest house again as a midway point to visiting friends further down the coast.
