Overall Ratings & Reviews Celtic Bay Guest House

Threadbare carpet throughout the property, Stained bed sheets, it took the staff one hour to change the bedding with no apologies for the inconvenience , no ensuite as the shower was in a rotten cupboard, this property is not fit for human habitation.

Great view and overall I was happy with the accommodation. Carpet is a bit threadbare and bathroom door needs to be slammed to shut. It was clean and today and for my purposes it was fine. Location is great and the view is amazing.

Stais no lift

Right on the beach, seagulls very noisy late at night and early morning Plenty of fridge place

Great value. Quick check in Dated decor and not very quiet

Practical room with the sound of the sea.

It was perfect,good stuff, clean, perfect room with view on the see, in a few words it was perfect

The bed was a bit hard and the parking options are not great, but other than that it’s a good hotel with easy walking access to everything in aberystwyth

The hosts we really nice! The rooms were fine, the seafront views were lovely. However, heat was not on the first night and it was quite cold. Additionally, the hallway had quite a musty smell. The building is a bit run down. Overall, for the price, it was a decent stay and I would come back in a pinch!

good location decor and carpet very dated

Fantastic location by the beach with on street parking, but very run down guest house. Handed a key when arrived by friendly cafe owner, though no direction to room or info provided. Found our way. Dangerously fraying stair carpet, broken old blinds and lights. Bathroom was clean with hot water and good tea and coffee facilities but the room was dusty, the fan broken and very uncomfortable beds you could feel the springs through. Heated argument in early the morning by ( assume) residents downstairs that went on for some time, with no one on site to intervene. A real shame given the great location.

You expect a hotel but you see a run down hostel entrance. We wind through hallways with ripped shredded carpets. The room faces ocean. Bedding looks white and ironed. Carpets are still shredded to threads! Leaves impression of total neglect by management. Only bright side was cheery man who checked us in (from West Africa I suspect). We left after 1 night of a 3 night reservation. No refund. My advice: Give Aberystwyth a miss entirely and especially this place.

Nice good value room with sea view. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Would stay again.

The reception member of staff was excellent throughout our stay. Very friendly and approachable. I can’t comment on the service of the room as there wasn’t any. The room was very clean and equipped with a good hairdryer, ironing board and iron if you needed it along with soap and shampoo etc. The whole building is very tired and could do with money being spent on it especially the stair carpet which is thread bare in places and could be a hazard. It was fine for our needs.

For the money, it was great. View was spectacular and the room was very clean and functional. Very happy with our stay.

Great view, comfy bed and amazing area. Will definitely be coming back

Good budget hotel. Will stay again. Staff lovely, bed comfy. Big shared kitchen so you can self cater if you want to.

Friendly welcome. Great location!

Very clean and comfortable, friendly staff, would definitely stay there again.

Friendly staff and fantastic communication to ensure we arrived with details of how to check-in etc. We have stayed at this hotel and left ok-good reviews, however, on this occassion we are sad to say we weren't impressed. It's a shame because it's in a perfect location, the building has great character and the staff are very approachable. It just appears that whoever is in charge doesn't want to spend any money on the neccessary basics. The room was extremely tired (Room 7). The bathroom fan didn't work, the fitting holding the curtain fell halfway down every time we opened the curtains. Wallpaper had come off the walls in sections. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable, checking under the bed there was actually a panel missing too. The worst being that the door to the room actually had a large gap at the bottom which meant that you might as well had not had a door attached as you could hear ever conversation in the hallway and in the opposite room. We had to put a coat down to block out the hallway light. Last time we visited there were available plates available to anyone in the kitchen area. The carpet on the stairs was beginning to come away. Unfortunately, this time it felt like we were using plates that belonged to someone who appeared to live there as the only options in the (unclear) commune cupboards were a mix-match of large bowls and one plate amongst other kitchenware.
