Starling Cloud, Aberystwyth by Marston’s Inns

10/10 Excellent
"This is where we always stay in Aberystwyth. It is conveniently located on the edge of town with plenty of free parking. A flat 10-15 minute walk takes you right into the centre. The hotel reception is located in the pub next door, where there is a good choice of food. Secure access to the lodge is by key card. Unfortunately there is not a lift in the lodge, but it is only 2 floors. Our room was clean, comfortable and well equipped as was the bathroom. Working A/C was a bonus with our changeable weather. We have never been aware of any noise during our stays here, apart from maybe the odd door closing."

Harleys Aberystwyth

10/10 Excellent
"This is still a fairly new venture for the Harley team and they are doing a great job. Its in a small central street of Aberystwyth and only a few minutes walk to the wonderful sea front promenade which is an absolute must daily to walk along to watch the tide come in or out or go for a swim . Bars and great variety of eating places are all nearby. Theres so much to do and see in Aberystwyth and the Tourist Information is again only a few minutes away. This is Wales and so the sun may not always shine but the sea air is so healthy -and I love it. As I do the small independent shops, Art exhibitions, events programme. Mountain walks . Sense of ancient Aberystwyth traditions sit comfortably with modern amenities here. Its great value for the price of a nights stay.I had four nights here and found the spacious room and ensuite really clean and slept better than I do often at home! There are stairs in this small hotel but the staff are a phone call away to help with carrying luggage if needed. Im a senior and felt instantly relaxed here. Really comfortable bed and pleasant issues are soon sorted out by the lovely efficient friendly staff. I look forward to my next stay."
