Pros:

Ein sehr tolles Hotel. Frühstück kostet 12£, bietet aber reichlich Auswahl. Parken kostet ca 25£ für 24 h in dem eigenen Parkhaus. Gut gelegen, ca 10-15 Minuten zum Castle und in die Innenstadt.

Warm and friendly
Pros:

The staff were extra friendly and made the stay seem personal. Our sea view and sound of the waves was wonderful. We were steps away from the starling murmuration.

Cons:

We had a lot of stairs to manage. The bedroom was hot. While a 7pm dinner suited us, it was the only time it was served.

Pros:

Lovely welcome, all information relating to breakfast times, checkout information given was really helpful, rooms were comfortable and clean. Decent size cups in the rooms with a great selection of drinks. The sea views were outstanding. Breakfast was excellent as was the lovely staff member who looked after us.

Cons:

Nothing really, the three flights of stairs were tough but the views made up for it.

Enjoyed our stay at Richmond Hotel, great position for visiting Aberystwyth.
Pros:

We booked late and asked for a sea view room, which we got. Staff were very pleasant. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

The only negative was that we stayed during a heatwave, were on the top floor and was told there wouldn’t be a fan and couldn’t open the windows much. Other hotels I’ve stayed in have provided fans, they’re not expensive.

5 star, would hotel again
Pros:

Hotel car park to rear which was fantastic. Sea view from the bedroom was lovely and general proximity to the beach, promenade and town made it an excellent base for exploring Aberystwyth. Building had character, nice to stay in a place that felt homely and original.

Cons:

Nothing :-)

A quiet stay, despite being right on the seafront and in the heart of things - recommended!
Pros:

Great cooked and fresh fruit breakfast options.
Peaceful atmosphere and friendly staff.
Comfy bed.

Cons:

The décor was tired and bland - but it was clean and relaxing .]
Would have liked more opening windows.
