Reviews

David 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Comfortable and convenient.

Pros: Visiting for the Trawsnewid festival at the Arts Centre so location could not have been better. Security staff super efficient when I lost my card key.

Cons: Lace curtains in N16 need cleaning (mold) or replacing.

S 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Great place to stay if you visiting someone at the university. Easy check-in, staff were friendly and explained where to park. Had all the facilities I wished. My room had a double bed and was more comfortable than anticipated, but then I did bring my own feather pillow.

Cons: Kitchen could have been cleaner, as floor had lots of crumbs on it. But all equipment was clean.

Be clearer about check in please

Pros: Came for the comedy festival; so was ideally located a mere stones throw from the Arts Centre. Room just a standard generic student residence that I've stayed in many a time. Very clean ; just what was needed.

Cons: Just a wee gripe in regards to the non clarity of obtaining key cards to access the building; which involved a further walk back down to the Penbryn building ( im not against walking). Which had to be explained to me by an elderly lady that had luckily just checked in slightly ahead of me.

Graham 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Excellent choice for a couple of night's self-catering accomodation in Aberystwyth, pretty much exactly what I was looking for, and a good cheap price. Good location right on the University campus, with parking nearby.

Cons: The mattress was pretty lumpy and I felt the springs - could do with a new mattreses I reckon.

Fantastic place to stay over if you visit Aberystwyth

Pros: Very cheap comparing to other places, very clean and tidy place. Security staff was very friendly and helpfull with showing me location of my dormitory. Facilities were spotless clean. Nothing to moan about.

Cons: Nothing but location. It was about 20-30 minutes walk uphill from Aberystwyth town center (very challanging after long day of chilling at the beach :)

Owen 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Highly recommended!

Pros: Great service from booking to check in, and the room was excellent for the price.

Cons: The two pillows provided were a bit thin and flat, but folding one in half made them usable. Definitely bring your own pillow. Literally everything else was perfect.

Great location, value for money - with a bit of cleaning it would be perfect

Pros: The cost was incredible compared to anything else available in the area, it was quiet and had everything that I needed in the immediate vicinity, and was a nice contrast to stay up the hill rather than in town.

Cons: Although it is great value for money, the cleanliness could be slightly better, particularly in the shared shower and toilet areas.

Loved it!

Pros: It is a bunkhouse, it does what it says on the tin! Room was cosy and had everything you needed for quiet study. Bed was good, too.
