Colin
Overall this hotel was clean, had comfy beds, had a good location if free parking and lovely friendly staff members. Check in was in the pub/restaurant and was effecient. We eat there at night and it was decent enough standard of food with good service from all. Good for a night stop over.
Lyn
We had a wonderful experience at the Starling Cloud, thanks to the exceptional customer service from the entire team. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and regularly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service really made the meal even more enjoyable. A special mention to Ben, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His warm, professional attitude and outstanding service truly stood out. The external building on the bar and restaurant could use a new lick of paint to freshen it up but that's all minor cosmetic maintenance. We look forward to visiting again!
John
The room had two relatively minor issues:
1. The toilet flush was terrible. Difficult to flush. Impossible with long flush, hit and miss with short flush.
2. The toilet roll holder was in need of securing. Toilet rolls inevitably fell to the floor when used.
As I said these issues were relatively minor but were an ongoing irritant.

Paula
The room was perfect for an overnight stay. It was comfortable and clean. The staff were good and sorted out an issue with Expedia. There was a good choice at breakfast and the food was freshly prepared.
Helen
The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a stay here. Nice big car park is a bonus.
Nina
Every requirement ticked for us - extra pillows, great coffee, power points by the bed, hair dryer, air conditioning. Evident sustainability efforts. Large on site car park and walkable into town (15-20 min along river). Restaurant food was very good for a chain pub.
Narinda
We arrived 5 minutes before 2pm we were told we had to wait till after 2pm to get into our room!
Bob
Double room was a bit tight for space and only one chair to sit on.
Elizabeth
David in reception was extremely helpful when I had issue pre arrival and welcoming in reception when I checked in.
Have used this hotel multiple times as the location is a short walk from family and easy parking and quiet.

Nicholas
Conveniently situated for the railway station and the town centre. Staff all super-friendly and helpful.
Thomas
Absolutely great stay. One or two small things but the welcome and the people over shone them
Julia
The staff were very welcoming. Our room had been excellently prepared, was clean and well equipped, also the bathroom and the air-con worked well. We didn’t have breakfast, so can’t comment on that. The only slight downside was the window which didn’t shut properly, the woodwork needing some attention on the outside. As the weather was windy, we had a moaning noise from the wind most of the time. Not too much of a problem, but could definitely do with being seen to.
George
Great stay, Luke was so lovely. Very friendly and attentive. Would definitely stay there again! Food was great and reasonably priced too!
Justin
Lovely staff. Basic decent accommodation. Weird smell in my room. Shower inadequate – a fixed showerhead with no hose, and useless curtain. I didn’t use the restaurant/ pub.
Jen
Breakfast was excellent staff were friendly and helpful.
Ira Leonard
All good no problem
Stuart
The room was clean, good sized and comfortable. Some of the fittings and fixtures showed signs of wear, nothing of major issue. Good shower and nice having quality coffee bag. Breakfast was fairly basic (only had continetal) but fine, only disappointment was the coffee option was instant and a boiler to help yourself!
Jason
Ok travel inn type place. My room was very dusty in places, but reasonably presentabke otherwise.
Julia
As always, our room and bathroom were clean and well equipped. We were welcomed by reception staff, who made sure we had all we needed. There is plenty of free parking right outside the lodge. Can’t comment on breakfast, as we didn’t have it. The hotel is in a very convenient location, less than a 2 minute drive (10 minute walk) in to the town center.
Susan
It was clean and comfortable, plenty parking. Just what we needed for a stopover
Terry

Had a meal in Starling Cloud next door and was very ill afterwards. No way to prove for sure if it was caused by the food.

Room was clean. However,Expedia charged £15 for breakfast when the hotel charges £9! Expedia are supposed to be sorting my query
Rosemary
We stayed at the Starling Cloud for one night as we were attending a funeral at the nearby crematorium. The rooms are in a block away from the main pub so more quiet than you might expect. The room was clean with a comfortable mattress so we had a good night’s sleep. The staff were very helpful and friendly throughout our stay.
Robin
Good overall

Room was lovely and clean and the bed was comfy. Noise insulation was very good as a main road is outside.
Reception gentlemen was very welcoming and friendly.

Spring sticking out of mattress, alarm going off on corridor.
Robin
Pretty good I’d say
Allison
Great parking, good location within walking distance of the town. Check-in and check out was easy. The beds were firm but very comfortable. The bathroom was very dated and could benefit from a makeover. There was a constant beeping noise all through the night coming from outside the room.
Paul
The room very clean friendly staff and thank to Dave who booked us in and served us with our evening meal
Helen
Good value for central Aberystwyth, hotel building separate from pub and reception so quieter than you would expect.
Paul
Room clean, check in was straightforward, staff were very friendly and accommodating.
We only had breakfast on one day which was poached egg and avocado on toast - nothing very special about this. The evening meal, again we only had one each - sea bass and chicken and ham pie, both meals were good. The summer fruit crumble was also very good.

Louise
The room was great - huge comfy bed, clean & comfortable.
I wouldnt have hesistated to stay here agin if it werent for a horrible interaction with a staff member at breakfast.
Staff absolutely need some customer service training & the manager needs to support them with this.

Vivian
All good clean room, plenty of parking spaces, good place and restaurant next door perfect place for visiting Aberystwyth
Caroline
Staff were friendly, the room was clean with a very large comfy bed
Paul
We didn't eat other than breakfast which was absolutely fine. The young lady who looked after us seemed to have everything under control and was very pleasant. The guy from Leeds during the day and evening seemed totally rushed off his feet and on his own... did everything he could to keep things running as smooth as possible. Obviously he couldn't be everywhere at the same time!
Gary
Very friendly, helpful staff.
Room clean and comfortable, can't comment on the restaurant food in the evening as we had booked a restaurant elsewhere.
