This hotel was great for a couple of nights in Aberystwyth. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Beds were comfy.Food was great with the cooked breakfast being done to order; nice change. Plus the usual cereal/ croissant buffet for those that don't like cooked.Parking out front is restricted to just 4 hours from 8am - 8pm but we found it useful to park in the unrestricted parking in the street at the back of the hotel.You can access this st via the rear entrance of the hotel. Just a short walk away is the famous cliff railway which is well worth an experience. I recommend this hotel for a few nights in Aberystwyth.

Had breakfast in the morning and again an excellent breakfast would highly recommend the Glengower you won’t be disappointed.A quick mention about parking there is free parking out front and back on the roads if you can find a space out the back there is no time limit but on the front it’s free for 4 hours if I remember correctly and that’s up until 6pm!! So if you catch it right you can park at 2 pm and your fine right through until the morning

The Glengower is excellently situated, right on the promenade/beach. It offered a full hot breakfast and the pub itself offers a large and sophisticated menu. Everything we tried over the 3 days we were there was excellent. The parking may be a bit if a problem as the promenade road is very narrow but we found a good spot in the end. The room we had was comfortable tho a little tight.. the staff and service was excellent. We unfortunately did not have a sea view, but I will definitely suggest getting one as the view is excellent.

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.

We enjoyed our stay and staff were excellent. Arriving on a Saturday, however, meant parking wasn't as easy as it should have been as it is along the seafront and very busy. Internal doors are noisy also which meant a less than restful night after a 7 hour drive. Breakfasts were good with vegetarian options and we had a nice dinner there on Sunday. Easy walking to the shops in town and other dining options. We would stay again but request a room in a quieter part of the building.

Nice Room Bug & Comfy

The room was on the front with a view over the sea...The room and bathroom were on the big side compared to most Hotels we have stayed in. 2 Couch chairs in front of the big window was good for watching the water. The bed was very comfortable.
The food was excellent and reasonably priced.
The only negative is Parking. Parts of the Hotel.com web site & the Glengower web site indicated that free parking is available. However, the Hotel does not have parking itself. It is only free parking IF THERE ARE PARKS AVAILABLE on the street. On the Weekend and especially in Summer, it would be doubtful parks would be available.... So keep this in mind. There is a Pay & Display car park about 5mins walk away.

My first time staying in this hotel, very nice staff, efficient service at both the bar and restaurant, and the meal I chose was lovely, the only one negative point that I found was every time the kitchen door was opened, the smell was quite overpowering, I was sitting at the bar quite a way from the kitchen yet I could tell every time the door opened, it wasn't a foul smell, but the usual smell from a busy, well used kitchen, but I did just find it too strong and distracting.
