The cost was very reasonable. I’m hoping my feedback will be received in the good spirit it comes from. Location was fantastic with sea views. Staff friendly and welcoming. The interior was tired. The bed bases were frayed and carpets coming away from the grippers. The bathroom was clean. The bedding was clean but the bed was leaning downhill. The bedside lampshade was stained. This accommodation was very reasonably priced but I would have been disappointed had I paid more money.

Wipe your feet on the way out

The worst hotel we have ever stayed in . So unclean , tired and should be advertised as a hostel . I booked this as a surprise for my partner and was so disappointed when we pulled up outside . You get what you pay for here for sure . I even had a pint of cider served in a cardboard coffee cup . No storage for your clothes either . I have learnt from this , will never book three star again .

I never write reviews but my little girl and I were upset by the dirty and tatty conditions of this guest house. Won’t be returning, we had to dodge the mould in the shower, the carpet was threadbare and the windows were so dirty we couldn’t see the beautiful sunset. Beds were awful too

Good overall

This was a very cheap stay in a great destination. The hotel was excellent value for money and we had a fabulous view. It was very quiet so had a good sleep. However, it is tired in places and would benefit from a makeover. Wouldn't take a lot of work but would be beneficial in my view. Just needs more attention to detail. Staff very friendly and helpful.

The Cardigan Bay guesthouse, Aberystwyth

The Cardigan Bay Guest House was a pleasant surprise for staying in when we were travelling along the coast of Wales. Had a great view of the beach and a magnificent sunset. Friendly and helpful receptionist.
