I was greeted by a gang of customers having a drink who made remarks I won't repeat - it was a horrible welcome put it that way. There is no reception, you enter via a sports bar. Room was nice except for the smell of cigarettes which I guess drifts up through the window from smokers outside the pub. The... More

Rooms are lovely, room 7 is my favourite. Regular visitor on business to Aberystwyth and always stay at this hotel. However no food is served in the pub part but local restaurant and cafe or takeaways are a plenty. Rooms are spacious, clean and warm. Shash windows that open almost as far as you want them too not like a... More

Rooms were great, although lacking a desk which was a shame from a work perspective. Bathroom was brilliant. All very modern, very clean, done to a very high standard. Staff were available to contact at all hours and were incredibly helpful. Was a bit noisy on the Sunday night, think this was music either from the pub or the student-y... More

This is pricier than Aber B&Bs, but the rooms are very nice - classy in fact, with good wardrobes, bathrobes, a decent desk/make-up area, and in my case a very comfortable sofa as well. When the electrics failed in the room I was given on check-in, they immediately upgraded me to a much bigger room with a lovely view and... More

My fiance booked a surprise two night stay for my birthday last September at the Castle hotel and i wasn't disappointed. The rooms were large and modernly decorated and had all the facilities we required including a white robe which was a nice touch. The location was fantastic close to the beach and town. Being the end of season there... More

I do not normally write reviews, but feel I have to warn others about this place. This is not an hotel, but a noisy late-night pub with guest rooms. When we visited, there was loud music playing until 3am, which made it impossible to sleep, at least in our room on first floor. However nice the room, without a chance... More

The Castle is a pub with beautifully-appointed, luxury modern rooms. It is a short distance down a street leading to the south beach, so two of the rooms have sea views. Ours was on the second floor where we had an oval window looking out towards the sea and Aberystwyth's stunning sunsets. Having booked, we were disconcerted to see reviews... More

While this hotel's website promises a relaxing stay, the owners have unfortunately forgotten to mention that their 'hotel' consists of a late-night pub with overpriced rooms. It was a little disconcerting to find that 'check-in' in the afternoon consisted of walking up to the bar. The noise from this bar continued until 3am, at which point the crowds spilled onto... More

Have just returned from a 2 night stay over Christmas whilst visiting relatives in Aberystwyth. We were welcomed warmly on Christmas Eve and shown to our room on the second floor. Our room was very modern, tastefully furnished, nice and warm and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was also ultra modern with a shower cubicle with a powerful overhead shower. Plenty... More
