“The Perfect stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We visit family in Aberystwyth every year. As we enjoyed our previous stay at Yr Hafod so much we decided to treat ourselves again.

On arrival Roberta showed us to our usual room on the top floor. As previously, the room was spotless with the sun streaming through the bay window . Just perfect to sit in the comfy Poang chairs watching the waves rolling.

John has been continuing to upgrade and maintain the hotel to a high standard. From the entrance, the foyer, breakfast room and throughout the hotel is spotless, modern and tasteful.

A full welsh breakfast served by John with his usual humour. We always meet an interesting group of people from all over the world.

The Guide of things to do, places to visit and restaurant recommendations is informative and fun- John's wonderful humour clearly evident.

Start the day with an early morning jog along the Prom and an evening stroll .

We are looking forward to our stay next April.!!

We stayed here while completing a north to south wales charity bike ride. Our bikes were locked up overnight, beautifully appointed rooms and a tremendous full welsh breakfast. Thoroughly recommend.

“Thoroughy enjoyed our 3 day visit.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2011

We were visitng the National Library of Wales and Yr Hafod was recommended to us and we were not disappointed and in turn would also recommend it.
John the owner was very pleasant and helpful, breakfast was substantial and well cooked with as much tea as you wanted.

During our stay we parked the car outside which was great.

Room Tip: The room we stayed in was a twin en-suite.

“GREAT VALUE”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2011

I regularly visit Aberystwyth to see family and over the last three years have stayed at quite a few other establishments.This has been the best its very basic but clean and the welcome you get is second to none.The location is quiet (handy in a student town!) and in easy reach for the town centre,Has easy parking all around and the view from my single room was wonderful .The breakfast was excellent although I agree with previous reviewer timing could be more flexible. Value for Money was excellent ipaid only £31 a night.I will be visiting again soon!

“Good convenient choice for Aberystwyth”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2011

I came to Aberystwyth for a wedding and chose Yr Hafod as it was 10 mins walk from the hotel where the wedding was being held, but cheaper and had better reviews. This ticked all the boxes - right on the seafront, with a lovely view from the big bay window, easy to park on the street right outside, room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Service was personal and friendly. The breakfast was good with generous portions to fill you up for the day. It is only available from 8 til 9, so a bit inflexible if you want a lie-in after a late arrival or wedding, or in case of needing an early start. Normally I would choose a budget hotel such as Premier Inn/Travelodge or similar but there is nothing like this in Aberystwyth, the choice is B&B or a couple of larger traditional but more expensive old fashioned hotels. Given the options, Yr Hafod seemed the best choice and I was not disappointed. Its unlikely I'd choose to come to Aberystwyth again as its not that great a town overall, but if I did need to, would willingly stay in Yr Hafod again.

Room Tip: The double sea view rooms are nice.
