good location but dogs not allowed on that part of the beach, friendly staff but seemed disorganised
Pros:

large room, partial sea view, comfy bed. some areas of hotel had been refurbished, very basic breakfast,

Cons:

had a 'work in progress feel', outside areas incredibly scruffy around seating area, ashtrays overflowing, litter everywhere, weeds in plant pots - no flowers, bar shut early, shutters came down then went back up - nearly caused a riot among some residents,

Pros:

2 staff members stood out throughout our stay (Anan & Luigi) they were very courteous and helpful and managed the breakfast area very well on the morning staff called in sick.

Cons:

The state of the breakfast area and the and lack of catering skills by some of the staff members. None replenishment of fruit juice at 9am in the morning, with tables not cleaned after use by other diners.

Don't stay here if you're not a dog lover
Pros:

The standout feature of this hotel was the exceptional service from a few members of the team. Luigi and Anand were truly outstanding — the place would not be the same without them.

Cons:

I’ve never encountered a hotel with so many dogs, including in the breakfast restaurant. Dog hair covered the chairs. The rooms were average at best, and housekeeping doesn’t clean during your stay — they only swap towels if you leave them outside your door. The curtains were filthy, and I didn’t even want to touch them. I absolutely wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

Have stayed at Aberafan Beach Hotel several times but feel it’s lost its pzazz and could do with modernisation
Pros:

Ideal location on the beachfront, comfy beds, clean bathroom

Cons:

Very stuffy rooms- no aircon and tiny windows. Fans provided but they couldn’t be plugged in beside bed due to incompatible sockets.
Breakfast items had run out well before the end of the breakfast time. No saucers. Wobbly table.

Lovely, looking to return soon.
Pros:

Lovely friendly staff who were very helpful. Clean and well kept room . We had a lovely stay here and were lucky to have great weather too.

Cons:

Outside looks a bit outdated and gardens need a bit of TLC but that doesn't affect your stay
