Castle Hotel

Fabulous little hotel in Aberystwyth. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was delightful, with a view of the sea from the oval window. Breakfast, continental style, could be ordered the night before then brought to your room in the morning. Great choice too. Nice bar downstairs, and you're seconds away from the promenade. What's not to like?!

We had to be in Aberystwyth for a weekend and had booked the Castle Hotel. I believe it was room 6 we were staying in . A nice big room, with a decent shower and a double bed of a good size. It slept very well. Th room was clean and a tea/coffee 'dish' were present. The room offered a nice high view. We will surely not hesitate to book again, if needing to be around. Thank you very much !

Really disappointed. The room has frosted out windows and there is a cellar cooler or something just outside that annoyingly hums on and off all night. You can hear it with the windows closed so absolutely no chance of having the window open. I would much rather have had a word with someone to ask to be moved to a different room, but at 8.30 am everything downstairs locked and the phone number just tells me to ring later as messages are full. This was supposed to be a big treat for us, and I'm really sad and annoyed. Would definitely not recommend anyone to stay here. Pub seems really nice but it's not cheap, so the least you could expect is some way of contacting someone when a problem arises...oh an a night's sleep.

Fabulous and friendly staff. We stayed in room 2. It was lovely and comfy and lovely and clean. However, the electric at times was rather sporadic- on for a few mins and then off and then on and off and repeat, a little disconcerting when in the bathroom and the lights go off and it made it impossible to watch television. The location is fabulous, right by South Beach and the Marina and Aberyswyth is beautiful in any weather.

This is a pub with rooms. When you first go into the pub it is a little disappointing, as we were expecting a hotel but, to be honest, the rooms are clean, functional spacious and well kept. The staff are more than kind and friendly and the rooms do have everything you need for a good nights sleep. Others have mentioned noise from the bar, we didn’t hear a peep and slept well. The bed wasn’t super luxury but the linen was good and the duvet very comfortable. Everything was clean with tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast is brought to your room, but nowhere to dine so we have that a miss and went to “Sophies” in the town which was Well worth the trip! It’s a nice enough place, just be aware it’s over a pub rather than a hotel and manage your expectations - we arrived late so not sure if they do food but local takeaways were open. Staff were extremely helpful, kind and friendly!

Stayed for 1 night, room number 7. The guys in the pub/reception were the nicest and kindest you could meet. Very helpful and polite. The room was good size and clean, had a big comfortable bed. It had some strange smell, I’m not even sure how to describe it, kind of like rubber….quite strong. The tv was constantly having a bad signal that it was impossible to watch. If those problems would be sorted we would definitely come back.

We booked two rooms here for my daughter's graduation. She had a room on the first floor and had a good night's sleep. We were on the top floor in the attic and barely slept a wink. This was not the fault of the hotel though, but instead was the herring gulls that live on the rooftops. We had to make a choice between having the skylights open to keep cool on one of the hottest nights of the year, or closing them to keep at least some of the squawking out. Those birds don't appear to sleep. The room was very clean, tidy and well set out (so don't be put off by some of the earlier reviews), though not very large. Well located 1 minute from the seafront. Over a busy pub but we had no disturbance from there. No breakfast available but we were able to get a good breakfast on the beach instead.

My family and I (3 generations) spent two nights in a The Castle Hotel and loved it. The rooms were beautifully renovated, especially the bathrooms and the beds were very comfortable. The staff did everything they could to make us comfortable and despite the fact that the hotel was not yet serving food, they arranged for us to order food in both nights and gave us cutlery and crockery so we could eat in the bar. Great place!!

We loved staying here. The rooms are comfortable and clean, nice bathrooms with strong showers. There is no lift. This historic building is charming, the pub downstairs has a fireplace, a pool table, dart board and games. We spent 2 cozy, rainy evenings there. They don't serve food, but there are plenty of delivery options we could order and eat in the pub. Staff was lovely and helpful.
