Lovely stay, clean no frills room, nice breakfast
Right on the seafront. Great breakfast supplied. Easy walking to centre of town for meals and view attractions
Friendly helpful staff, clean room, excellent breakfast - an unexpected bonus! Parking could have a bit more information about where it’s ok to park - we were unclear about the rules for yellow line parkinh
Breakfast is the stand out star of the stay. Excellent quality local produce and plentiful. So pleased to see vegan options too.
Lovely breakfast, easy check in & out. Friendly staff. Great location for the beach.
Great breakfast plenty of choice staff most frei ndly
Great location. Parking easy. Comfy beds. Clean. Shame only a hand held shower in bath. Couldn’t stand up to use it. Too many spot lights in ceiling not positioned evenly and some not working so decor could be improved. Breakfast ok. Husband liked thick bacon and sausage.
The breakfast was lovely, the staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable.
Room very clean. Check in very efficient
Had a lovely time until I was rudely phoned by a manager/owner, who falsely accused me of lying about an incident that me and my female friends had no idea about. It was very rude, and was no fault of ours. The security of the property is questionable, maybe if the front door was locked using the code, they wouldn’t have had the issues they did. I also only received one apology from someone at the reception and not from the man who phoned me rudely. The room was lovely, but definitely disappointed in the way they spoke to myself, a young woman.
Close to seafront
Self check in worked well. Large room with side sea view. Comfy bed and clean room. Good breakfast which was the first time we saw anyone from the b&b. Ideally situated for sea and not too far from the town. Would stay there again.
Lovely guest house, would definately return!!!! Location is very good with stunning views!!! Centre of town is 10 min walk with plenty of dining/shopping options. Room was well equipped, comfortable beds, fan, complimentary coffee/tea/biscuits. Since they were fully booked we had to share shower/bathroom facilities, never an issue!!! Complimentary toiliteries, coffee/tea provided at front desk. Breakfast was good, option of hot/cold, (would have liked more cold options). Staff lovely, would definately recommend it!!!
Nice b+b, very close to the sea in a side street, could see the sea from my room (partial sea view). My double room was really nice, very clean but no bathroom, which was communal, I didn't realise this until I entered my room. Didn't notice this in the description, obviously my error. Shared bathroom wasn't a problem though, but will definitely want my own for the next booking. Bed was comfortable, pillows bit lumpy but I did sleep really well. Internet very good indeed, breakfast menu great and food exceptional, and the gentleman taking breakfast orders was really nice, polite and friendly. Accommodation is next to the Castle and only a short walk to the main promenade and main shopping area's. Check-in was a bit different from the norm, no member of staff just folders on the desk with each person's name and room name with keys, quite straight forward so not an issue. Overall very happy with my one night stay, will definitely stay at the Gwesty Guest House again
Staff really friendly and helpful. Location couldn’t be better just a few minutes to the beach. Overall we would recommend staying here to anyone visiting Aberystwyth.
Overnight stay - did exactly what was on the tin. Clean and smelling nice. Good breakfast too. Close to sea front, near middle so nice little walk to harbour and to opposite end with cliff train. We liked it.
Really like how close it is to the ocean, nice breakfast! However it can be challenging to find parking plus WiFi is a bit spotty on the top floor. Otherwise nice stay!
Overall excellent
Absolutely lovely room, very clean, nice bathroom - en suit. great design of the room, which made feel very relaxed and comfortable. Beautiful window view to the sea. Easy to park nearby. Very hospitable stuff.
Check in and out was easy. The price and facilities were reasonable reasonable for a short stay. Breakfast was good, but could add fruit and porridge for vegans/ vegetarians.
Everything was really clean. We had difficulty getting a park due to how busy it was in the town.
Clean and comfortable, great breakfast and good location for walkability anywhere in town.
Clean and comfortable. We were able to park on the street right outside the hotel. It doesn’t have its own parking area. The problem was I didn’t realize it had a shared bathroom…it taught me a lesson to ensure future bookings are en-suite.
Would have liked facial contact
High quality guest house / B&B. Comfortable stay. Thanks
This Hotel is a real jewel to find in Aberystwyth. The room is as very comfy and clean. There was very little noise from other guests. My stay was topped off with an excellent Breakfast
Excellent place, excellent breakfast, excellent location
Nice b&b near the sea and castle ruins. Only 5 mins walk to edge of town centre. Welsh breakfast was very good! Our room was not en-suite, toilet and shower across a landing up and down a few steps.
My daughter and myself had a one night stay in this property. Really enjoyed our stay there. Nice cosy place and breakfast to die for :)
Accommodation in the style of a traditional bed-and-breakfast. A few metres to the sea front although the coast wasn’t visible from my room. Breakfast was enough to last me all day!
