Starling Cloud, Aberystwyth by Marston’s Inns

"Lovely, easy accessible hotel room, clean, modern and spacious. Bathroom was clean, bath had a chip in bottom, but didnt affect use and shower curtain could do with updating. Next to a lovely pub. Food was nice and service good and very easy to walk into the town and back, safely at night too, would recommend for the price!"

10/10 Excellent
"Great location right on the sea front. Lovely rooms and very comfy bed. The bedrooms and on suites appear to have all been recently renovated. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely. The only slight drawback is the parking - there isn't any. So, we had to risk parking on a random street away from the hotel. Also, the air vent for the kitchen extraction is like an aircraft engine blasting away right at the front of the building where the outdoor seating is."
