We stayed for one night in a family room during a very busy weekend in Aberystwyth, due to a national cycling event. Despite this, there was plenty of parking available in the hotel car park, which was a good start.
The welcome at reception was very warm and efficient. Our family room was a good size for two adults and two young children, and the coffee table and sofas were particularly useful. The room was generally clean, although we did find a child’s ball under the bed, presumably left by a previous guest. The ensuite was perfectly adequate, but a little on the small side when trying to bath a young child.
Unfortunately, our stay coincided with the end of the June 2026 heatwave and the hotel does not have air conditioning. There was an electric table fan in the room, but it was quite noisy when trying to sleep. As the room only had one window, it was difficult to cool it down properly. For that reason, I would be cautious about staying here during very hot weather.
There were also a few minor issues: the phone did not appear to work, a couple of light bulbs were out, and there were several sharp corners on the desk, coffee table and bedside tables, which made me slightly uneasy with young children around. For a family room booked for four guests, providing only two biscuits also felt a little mean!
We did not use the restaurant, so I cannot comment on that. Overall, I would recommend the hotel for a family stay in cooler weather, but not during hot weather.
