This is a Marston's Pub/Diner with a separate accommodation block. It's a bit out of the centre of Aberystwyth but has plenty of onsite parking. The rooms are basic but comfortable. The "Pub" is really a restaurant, often with no seating to just have a drink. If you want an evening meal there, book it. Food is standard pub fare, but the Staff, who double as Reception and Bar Staff were very good.

On day of arrival, I asked it I could book a table for 10 in the pub (we were all staying at the hotel) and was told as the booking was over 8 people, we had to give 3 days notice so they could not accommodate. I then asked another member of the pub team and they said I could book it, only to then be told by the supervisor we couldn't again. Crazy, who turns down bookings? In the end, we all went into the pub at 1 minute intervals, sat together and ordered. Food was nice. Breakfast the next day was really average. Most items on the cooked breakfast was overcooked and underwhelming. Aberystwyth in its self is a lovely place and we really enjoyed exploring it.

The room was spacious and quiet. The staff were friendly and polite. Dinner was good, breakfast was disappointing. My husband ordered smashed avocado on toast with bacon and poached egg. There was virtually no avocado on toast. The waitress was lovely and removed it from our bill. Was disappointing though.

Very easy on-line check-in. Room was clean and comfortable, probably the only criticism would be that the tv needed to be a bit bigger.

There was no making the beds in the morning, We stayed for 5 nights. Whilst they changed the bedding every 3 days it was unforgivable to have to make the beds. Disgraceful! If we had booked in each day the beds would have been changed, ridiculous. There was also having to chase around for plates etc. at the breakfast. Very poor service. Would not stay again.

Have stayed here a number of times . Staff always friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and well presented, but some ( and areas of the main pub building) are starting to show signs of age and could do with a gentle refurbishment to bring them back up to their previously good standard.
