Dear Expedia Customer Service, ​I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with my recent stay at the Cardigan Bay Guest House in Aberystwyth, which I booked through your platform. ​The accommodation failed to meet the standards advertised on your website and resulted in a very unpleasant experience. The key issues I encountered are as follows: ​Faulty Window: The window in my roomdid not open or close properly. This was a significant issue for ventilation and general comfort. ​Inaccurate Room Description: The room I was given did not match the description provided on your website. The room was advertised as having a sea view, but most of the view consisted of rocks. Our "superior" twin room consisted of 2 single beds and haedly any room. ​Non-functional Heating: The heating in the room was not working throughout my stay. This made the room uncomfortably cold, especially during the evenings and at night. We requested a heater which was also faulty (missing a leg) and did not procide sufficient heat throughout the night. ​Uncomfortable Beds: The beds were incredibly uncomfortable, which made it very difficult to get a good night's sleep. The quality of the mattresses was poor and did not provide adequate support. ​These issues directly impacted my stay and significantly detracted from the experience I paid for. I would like to request a full refund for this booking as it has spoiled mine and my sisters holiday.

Quirky.

Such a friendly staff. Small white room but we expected that, comfy bed, broken chair. View over sea fab, but windows suffer condensation and only one opened, so very hot. Key to door jammed locking us in but staff so helpful . Needs a new lock. Would we stay there again? yes we would, outdoor bar, coffee and cake excellent and happy hour. A quirky place with a small quirky cafe attached. We had a lovely time.

My first holiday in Aberystwyth

Stay was good, weather great, bed and room comfortable, Christian conference brilliant and inspiring. Great seafront location, friendly staff. Could consider staying there again. Last night of stay I was disturbed by other guests talking till 3:45 am, not your fault. Finding places to park for free was difficult sometimes, but there always was a space.

Was tempted to go 5*, but just a tiny bit of modernization could be done with, like a bit of paint on the room, however the guys downstairs were great, amazing view (room 6 i stayed with daughter), if had the option I'd go maybe 4.7/5, so much going for the place, just a few minor touches could make it from great to brilliant I guess.

Poor

The location is ok. The hotel is very tired and in need of some TLC and staff have no idea what is going on. Carpets and decor definitely not as shown in photos! Sea front rooms have no view as windows completely fogged up and the windows don't work. Carpets and decor are old and stained but the linen was clean. You will need binoculars to watch TV from the bed.

The cost was very reasonable. I’m hoping my feedback will be received in the good spirit it comes from. Location was fantastic with sea views. Staff friendly and welcoming. The interior was tired. The bed bases were frayed and carpets coming away from the grippers. The bathroom was clean. The bedding was clean but the bed was leaning downhill. The bedside lampshade was stained. This accommodation was very reasonably priced but I would have been disappointed had I paid more money.

Wipe your feet on the way out

The worst hotel we have ever stayed in . So unclean , tired and should be advertised as a hostel . I booked this as a surprise for my partner and was so disappointed when we pulled up outside . You get what you pay for here for sure . I even had a pint of cider served in a cardboard coffee cup . No storage for your clothes either . I have learnt from this , will never book three star again .
