Delicious Breakfast - One of the best in Aberystwyth
Reviewed By 732tamsyndAnother stunning meal at Gwesty! This time was the first time we had managed to stop for breakfast and it did not disappoint! Eggs Benedict with some seriously delicious maple Bacon!!! Yeah truly did not disappoint. Atmosphere was lovely & welcoming, as always, staff attentive & helpful when we decided to move tables & come inside. Everything clean & tidy, as expected. Was absolutely the best start to our day & we will definitely be back again. Easily one of the tastiest breakfasts we have had in Aber.

Breathe in the fresh sea air on Aberystwyth’s sweeping seafront, moments from the harbour and close to Aberystwyth’s castle ruins
First time staying at a Premier Inn since lockdown - standards have slipped!
Reviewed By BalletCathyI was really quite disappointed with our stay. I've always chosen Premier Inns in the past for convenience and a decent room when travelling with family as you 'know what you are getting'. I quite understand that staff shortages must be one of the main reasons for the drop in standards, but everything from the car park to the room to the food was 'less good than expected. The first impression didn't help, the hotel looked tired from the outside and there was nowhere to park, after a very long journey, trekking around trying to find alternative car parking wasn't welcome. It wasn't cheap either. Just hoping the next one will be better!

6. George Borrow Hotel
Overall Ratings

The George Borrow is a 17th Century coaching inn and is named after the famous writer who stayed here in 1852. The Red Kite can be seen in its natural habitat from our rooms. The ideal place to relax, unwind, soak in the ambiance and atmosphere and enjoy excellent food and drink.Situated just one mile from the new international mountain bike circuits at Nant-y-Arian we have lock-up facilities for bicycles in our many outbuildings.
Perfect MTB base ran by lovely people
Reviewed By 384ashgHaving first stayed here as a group of five mtb’ers visiting the local trail centre up the road in 2014, we have since revisited every other year with this weekends stay of 8 of us being our 5th year back. The rooms are perfect for a great nights kip, and we particularly enjoy coming back from a 20 mile mtb ride on the Saturday and sitting out in the beer garden still in mtb clothes enjoying a pint watching the red kites soaring above us. The food is faultless, I’d estimate in the five trips we’ve visited we’ve totalled over 150 meals served with not one being wrong/returned or not eaten completely. I’d like to thank Mark, Claire and Karen and Co for continually making us feel so welcome when we return, I can see why the webpage says you leave as a friend If I had to make one small criticism it would only be that the usual adequately fast Wi-Fi was near non existent in the certain parts of the hotel this year, only putting us out as in previous years communication amongst ourselves and calling our families back home with zero phone network was fine over Wi-Fi, wether this is a local bandwidth issue or the distribution around the hotel who knows, as I say it’s not the end of the world.

Beautiful stay, amazing location, great value, polite owner/staff, clean + comfortable
Reviewed By blackbeard1769I’ve lived in this town for almost 2 years, as I am studying at the university. Unfortunately, due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, I hadn’t seen my family since I came here. My mom finally managed to book some time off and was coming . After looking around town for a place to stay we came across Maes Y Mor. We were surprised by the excellent price-quality ratio it offered and decided to book it. The lady who runs it is very professional and extremely politely. She explained the check in and check out rules and left our keys in an envelope by the reception for us. The rooms were very clean and spacious. They came with toiletries, fresh towels, enough toilet roll and coffee/tea stuff. They even have a kettle that you can use for a quick brew. The beds were very comfortable too and it’s so easy to sleep in them. My mom isn’t used to cold weather at all but all the rooms have heating that works which was a big plus as it made her stay comfortable. They made sure we always had clean towels and breakfast stuff. Felt very welcome and safe during our stay there. The location of the hotel is ideal as it is literally a stone’s throw from the beach and close to everything (cafes, restaurants, pubs, supermarkets, banks, etc). I strongly recommend them to anybody looking to spend a few nights in Aberystwyth. You will not be disappointed! All the staff were very polite and they even went out of their way to help my mom with moving her luggage. They made our stay memorable and she’s definitely coming back when she visits me again ☺️ Diolch yn fawr!!

Terrible service. Food was ok
Reviewed By Jamie NArrived at the ‘to be seated’ area. To see the staff members are all back and forth, no one taking notice. A few mins later a staff member came over and told us to sit in the non restaurant area where you order at the bar. Which we were fine with. Ordered some drinks before thinking about food Then ordered two starters and two mains. Just shy of £36 25 mins later ordered another round of drinks After one hour of ordering the food I went up to order another drink and ask what happens to the food. The guy responded, you’ve had your starter haven’t yo? We’ve not have anything yet! He apologised. The lady that took the order came over and it seem to me they hadn’t actually put the order though. Sat back down then the same lady came over and said she will bring the starters and mains together. We, no thanks. I’d still rather have separate. So we waiting 5 minutes for the guy to bring out our mains! Hadn’t even seen the starters at this point. I said to him we hadn’t had starters and he said he’d bring them out now. No thanks don’t fancy chicken wings with a curry. We ate the main. But the whole experience put a downer on the visit. To be fair. They did refund the meals (although we didn’t even see the starters). The food tasted ok. The pie my wife had was nice. It’s a pity the service was so terrible. To top it, when we arrived there was a table near us with dirty glasses and plates. 1hr 45m later they were still there along with three other tables full of glasses and plates around us with no one clearing. Staff members were coming and going taking food out but no one seem to worry about clearing tables. Summary. Food was good, could be nice if they improved service. Wasn’t even busy

Dated, Tired, poor food, look elsewhere
Reviewed By buzzer1955I should have checked the reviews before booking… If this hotel, and the food were 1/3 cheaper than what we paid I would’ve rated it is three stars and average. however, at the price we paid it really is not good value. It’s a tired old hotel with 70’s decor . The food in particular was below average, both dinner and breakfast, where there was quite a wait for them to replenish the breakfast buffet. Some of The condiments sachets on the tables were two months out of date !!!! I had scampi, it was tiny tiny pieces of scampi (?) surrounded by a massive amount of breadcrumbs that when you stuck your fork in, oozed fat. Looking at the food and the menu the kitchen obviously relies heavily on the deep fat fryer and microwave. Overall, not a good experience, expensive, and not one to be repeated.
