I shall return. Probably the best place to stay in the town.
Pros:

Great location, staff and room, with food excellent too.

Cons:

The only fault was with the shower, as it was difficult to adjust the temperature to cold on a hot night.

Pros:

Gelegen aan de boulevard. Kamer was prachtig en zeer ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het ontbijt was heerlijk. Zeker een verblijf waard.

Cons:

Er zijn wat trappen wat onhandig is met een grote koffer. Ontbijtmogelijk was aan de late kant voor mij, maar ik heb ook niet gevraagd of er een eerdere mogelijkheid was.

Fabulous small friendly boutique hotel right in the sea front
Pros:

Super friendly staff, room was spotlessly clean, loved the coffee machine, bed was comfy and the fact it had AC was a life saver as it was an exceptionally hot weekend ! Breakfast was amazing

Cons:

Only thing missing was a shower cap as the only shower was a rainfall one and I didn’t want to get my hair wet so I had to buy one from boots round the corner

Disappointing
Cons:

The downstairs sea view room has no privacy as it is facing the stairs into the hotel , bar and patio. Having to close the curtains for privacy means you cannot enjoy the sea view you are paying for. There is also a huge patio umbrella smack bang in the middle of the window. There was no room service on the second day with no apology or explanation from staff. We had to ask for tea , coffee, milk , toilet roll and towels. The member of staff seemed quite irritated by our request. (I have to add the female staff the day before who checked us in was friendly and helpful and a credit to the hotel. The room seemed very run down and the window was filthy on the inside. Expected more for the price and won’t be staying there again.

Average stay
Pros:

Good location, breakfast and staff.

Cons:

Overpriced hotel with tired rooms. Room had been styled well but the bathroom and room itself was tired and needed an upgrade. The staff, location and breakfast were good but the price of the room didn't match the experience provided.

Pros:

Nice breakfast and good location.

Cons:

Parking was quite far away and there were a lot of stairs to our room which was at the top of the house. During the heatwave it was incredibly hot and stuffy, although they did provide a fan.

Vegan friendly hotel on sea front
Pros:

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was really nice, good size, fanatic view of the sea. Bed was extremely comfy. Dyson fan in room, tea and coffee facilities including green tea (extra star). Nice shower with vegan toiletries (another extra star). Went to sleep with the sound of the sea. Breakfast was brilliant, they are so accommodating at this hotel. Overall an excellent experience. Top rated and vegan friendly.

Cons:

Shower leaked.

A perfect stay
Pros:

The room was very comfortable, with a lovely view of the sea. We were allowed to check in early, which was super helpful as we had a wedding to attend, so had a little more time to change. Breakfast was very nice, and they catered well for my veganism.

Pros:

Ein wunderbarer Blick aufs Meer von den Polstersesseln im Erkerfenster aus! Großzügiger Raum mit Liebe fürs Detail! Persönlicher "elevator"! Ausgesprochen gutes Frühstück, frisch zubereitet mit besonderen Zutaten, Avocadobrot und bestes Müsli ever, auch der Kaffee war spitze!

A great place to stop-off during our walk from Aberaeron to Aberdovey on the Wales Coast path.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel has a small, relaxed bar in the basement with some very good beers. As we were travelling during the heatwave, the air conditioned room was a huge bonus! The seafront location is great with easy access to local restaurants and other facilities.
