8/10 Very good

Staff were warm, welcoming and very helpful. Pleasant and clean accommodation. Great location. The cooked breakfast was delicious. The price to stay there was great, especially in comparison to other hotels - superb value. Will certainly be using the glengower the next time I’m visiting Aberystwyth.

Everything was perfect. Few things could be improved yet: the tap in the bathroom could be less hard to operate.

Pay the extra for a room with a sea-view- it’s worth it! Wonderful stay.

Clean co

Lovely clean and comfortable hotel and room. Breakfast could be improved - as a vegan there was plant milk when asked but with a focus very much on a cooked breakfast, the continental breakfast options could have been improved - cereals were boxed and limited pastries. Plant based yogurt would also be a welcome addition.

Lovely warm welcome

Lovely hotel in a perfect spot on the seafront. Beautifully decorated and clean with a warm homely feel and a friendly welcome. Food was lovely too. Would definitely stay again.

Pleasant beach front hotel

The hotel is centrally located on a beautiful beach front. The staff are accompanying and pleasant. The room and public areas were clean and free of clutter. There were improvements which could be made in the bathroom and parking was tricky but overall a nice stay.
Terina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Over night stay

The hotel is very good and our room had a sea view. The room was a good size with a large bathroom & walkin shower. The bar was large with small areas. Our dinner was good and breakfast was excellent as well. Check in was quick even though it was at the bar.

10/10 Exceptional

We really liked the way the breakfast was organised and offered personal service to specific tables. We loved the view. The Glendower calls itself a pub….. yet the rooms are clearly of a five star hotel standard. The staff could not of been more helpful about parking and taxi options. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.

Glengower, Aberystwyth

We had a really good time at the Glengower. All the staff were very friendly and kept on checking we were okay when we had our evening meal and breakfast the following morning. The place looks great since being done up (I last visited the old Glengower). Our bedroom was clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable. The food was great and we will definitely be back in the new year.

Perfectly relaxing

Fabulous! A truly relaxing home from home, with friendly and professional staff. We appreciated the quiet of our room ( we didn’t hear other guests), it's draftproofed sash window with view over the seashore, along with a comfortable bed and sufficient space in the room to be at ease. We really enjoyed the warm, cosy and relaxed atmosphere downstairs , the character of the place and tasteful interiors, and last, but not least, the delightful christmas tree in the dining area! And both breakfast and dinner were very tasty.

excellent service

Room spotless but bed a tad too firm for my liking. No lift but we were luckily on the 1st floor and luggage was carried to room. Staff went above and beyond. Very reasonable rate. Convenient restaurant with good pub grub. Deserts scrumptious. Parking a bit of an issue on the weekend and worse due to works to the seafront.

Open day overnight

We had an amazing overnight stay at the Glengower. The host was very kind after a very long trip and took time explain everything. The room was tidy and clean and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic and the server couldn't be more helpful. Would definitely recommend and hopefully return. The view from our room window was amazing.
