    water pressure
    shared bathrooms

    Water pressure in the shower leaves much to be desired!!! Shared bathrooms could use better cleanliness and odour control!!! The overall entrance and old decor could really benefit from a facelift to match the pricing!!!

    confusing check-in
    limited staff presence
    small room

    I had a pleasant night in a double room with a comfortable bed and clean facilities. The breakfast was excellent with gluten-free options, but the check-in process was a bit confusing with limited staff presence. It’s a good choice for a short stay, especially for those needing special dietary accommodations.

    cramped room

    Great location and fab breakfast!

    The view from the triple room was stunning with the sea right outside. Breakfast was a highlight – so many tasty options! The staff were super chill and helpful. Only thing was the room was a bit cramped for my family, especially with the kiddo’s stuff everywhere. But we had a good time overall.

    tea coffee
    sea view

    Perfect fit for a city holiday in Aberystwyth with good price value. The room had nice tea and coffee selection. Ask for a room with a shower instead of a bath if that's preferred.

    uncomfortable mattress
    confusing check-in

    it was a nice stay overall. the staff were really polite n helpful. breakfast was super tasty, loved the full welsh breakfast! the room was clean, even tho it had that strong smell of paint. location was ideal, close to the beach and great views.

    the mattress wasn't comfy at all and check-in was a bit confusing with no one there at first.

    I stayed in a Triple Room with Sea View for 2 nights. The room was clean and comfortable, which was perfect for me and my two teenage girls. We loved the view! Only downside was being on the top floor—lots of stairs. But overall, no complaints with the room itself.

    We had a wonderful stay at Gwesty Guest House! The location was perfect, just across from the beach and near the castle. Our room was comfortable, with lovely decor and all necessary amenities. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, especially the Welsh options, making every morning special for our family.

    We wished for more handrails in the staircases.
