Poor customer service, delayed by 2hr check in till room was cleaned. Very little staff, People at bar left because no one to serve you. Coffee machine broken. Overcooked sausages - yuk. Could do with a good clean on the stairs. Room was ok but dated, was clean and had a sea view. Tea and coffee in room. Would I return - maybe not. In good location to the beach and local amenities. Recommend Cinnamon Indian down the road.

This is an example of how you should never judge a book by the cover.
On arrival, the hotel looked extremely dated, lacking the welcome most would expect.
As soon as I walked through the main entrance my opinion immediately changed, what a transformation. It is clear a great deal of time, effort and money has been injected into this hotel. The staff, the food, a little slow in being served, but worth the wait, all first class. My room on the 3rd floor was also immaculately done and extremely comfortable.

The hotel could really do with some renovating, and generał tidying up on the grounds to make it more presentable. It does the job basically.

The hotel seems to be a shadow of its own glory. Staffs were nice and helpful. We went there during the time when hot wave hitting the UK in July 2026. The room has no A/C and walking into the room feels like walking into a sauna. It was not at all comfortable. Good view of Aberavon beach from the room though.

The hotel is across a road from the beach but little road noise was heard. The view is lovely from most rooms here. The hotel has been updated recently but still has that olde worlde feel. It has character. The staff are very friendky and accomodating. I would definitely stay again.

Always have a lovely stay , we are regulars here due to visiting family who live close by. My only issue is lack of air conditioning. We were given a fan but it didn't alter the temperature at all. I understand it is unusually hot right now and therefor limited to what can be done so I feel its time Best Western invested in this little gem of a hotel. Breakfast was average.

Was a very nice stay, can see some work has been done to the inside, unfortunately no pool now but you can get a 1 hour free accross the road to use the main pool.

Rooms are nice but warm as no aircon but do supply a fan for you all.

no complaints about the hotel or the helpful staff. It might be somewhat dated in appearance, but the hotel was perfectly comfortable for myself and I was particularly impressed with the breakfast location and food on offer. So too the helpful and friendly lady on duty in the morning in the breakfast room.

Stayed here for 1 night, single traveller and dog.

Easy to park, reception staff very friendly and helpful.

Barman was really nice friendly and happy, which was welcomed after a long day. I was able to sit in the lounge area with the dog to eat dinner which was nice (a bit greasy but still nice)

Room was clean and comfortable. Lifts to floors available.

A bit surprised that a dog friendly hotel doesn’t have any outdoor bins for dog waste. Reception helped to dispose but there should be an outdoor bin.

Breakfast was a couple of minutes late opening, which I know is picky but I was on a tight schedule so every minute counts! Also the milk for tea and coffee was off (not noticed by staff) and there was no more available.

Overall a nice place for the money. Right on the beach.
Would stay again.

Building is not attractive from the outside but everything inside was just fine. A nice welcome and a nice room with a sea view (and two fans as it was over 30C outside). In addition to the hotel itself there are two cafe/restaurants on the seafront within five minutes walk from the hotel. Free parking a bonus. All together a pleasant good value stay!

The staff at the hotel were all lovely and so helpful! We booked breakfast for next morning upon arrival as I saw the food rating was a 5 (no longer an 1 which I saw from previous reviews) and the staff were really kind and accommodating with this. The hotel itself must’ve had a renovation or update since a lot of previous reviews, as after reading them, I was expecting it to be a lot worse, however it was actually very nice.
The only downside we experienced was that our room was very hot, which must be known to them as we already had 2 fans in the room for us to use. It wasn’t a huge problem for us but something to note.
Other than that everything was really pleasant. It isn’t the Ritz but it was a comfy bed, great location for the beach and pleasant for our stop in Wales whilst I was working.
I would absolutely stay again, thank you!

We had an ok stay. The hotel really could do with an upgrade, the rooms are tired looking. The breakfast was ok, although the chef doesn’t know how to cook bacon, it was inedible and almost raw. The staff we came into contact with were all friendly. The location of the hotel is in a nice spot with some rooms overlooking the sea. I’ve been to this hotel a couple of times now, I’m unlikely to return for a third time. It really is better to pay more for better accommodation.

Our rooms had a lovely ( unexpected) sea view but as I found out on arrival, most if not all rooms, (other than accessibility/disability rooms) have a shower over the bath, so it wasn’t ideal for my 84yr old mother who doesn’t require an accessible room as she doesn’t have any disabilities or restrictions per se but can’t climb into the bath to take a shower.
It is very unusual for a hotel these days to have baths in every room but the hotel was fully booked for a conference so unfortunately there was no option to change rooms to an accessible room for her.
The restaurant was closed for a function the night we arrived, This was a Monday night in a small seaside town at the beginning of March so I wasn’t hopeful - but we found 3 great places to eat within a few mins walk. A really lovely seaside cafe/restaurant, an Indian and an American/Mexican type restaurant.
The hotel was clean, staff were lovely and it was ideal for our stay. Don’t be put off by the 1970’s exterior.
We didn’t go further than the seafront so not sure about a ‘town’ but there are retail parks nearby.

Our stay at the Best Western Aberavon Beach was a deeply disappointing experience. What was meant to be a relaxing break was marred by verbal abuse, noise, and a complete lack of professional conduct.
The most serious incident involved a 17-year-old guest shouting vile verbal abuse (“suck my dick”) at us from his window. We reported this to reception immediately, but the guest’s loud music continued throughout the night, and we never received an outcome. Alarmingly, the staff disclosed that the guest was “there on his own”—a significant breach of guest privacy and GDPR.
Noise was a persistent issue; on both Friday and Saturday mornings, young children were permitted to run and shout in the corridors right outside our room without any management intervention.
While reception offered a bottle of wine as a \"gesture of goodwill,\" the experience was further soured at the bar. A male staff member was incredibly rude to my partner, making a sarcastic and unprovoked remark that she had “obviously drank wine through a straw” before. This, combined with our room keys failing and needing to be reprogrammed multiple times, made for a stressful stay.
A bottle of wine does not compensate for verbal harassment and staff insults. We are currently seeking a full refund for this failed experience.

Rain water leaking through the window, off the windowsill and onto the radiatior and floor below. Staff must have known about the issue as there was a towel already set up on the windowsil soaking up rain water. I requested to move room which they did promptly. Had to wait 5+ minutes at the bar as no one around, the person in front of me waited 10 minutes. They served the person behind me first. The food arrived and a chef came over after my food had been served and asked to take a photo of my plate as they were a trainee chef - very odd. I tried to have a shower at 6.30am and the water was stone cold. I informed reception and they said i had to leave the shower running for 10 minutes before hot water comes through. All in all, a very unrelaxing stay.

Great for one or two nights

The breakfast was decent (eggs rubbery however), but a great selection.
The room was clean, with two bathrooms (one disabled access and one without). There was people running up and down corridors at one point at night and slamming doors and knocking, on the upstairs floor. but the reception didn’t answer when I called down (unless they were sorting the culprits out as it did stop eventually)
Bar area looked nice. We didn’t sit in it however but looked decent.
The person on reception was really nice.
The outside of the hotel doesn’t look appealing I’ll be honest, but it’s fine once you walk in.
Car parking free once you validate your registration.

The hotel looks pretty tired from outside but rooms and reception area had been updated to an excellent standard. Breakfast was great with plenty of choices.
Only slightly negative comment is that the breakfast was served in a large ball room which lacked atmosphere. A few flower arrangements separating the tables from the large dance floor would have made the difference.

We stayed at the Best Western Aberavon Beach for 3 nights.
It was a very pleasant Hotel The staff very friendly and helpful . Aidan especially on reception.
We used it as a central base to be able to travel around the area eg Porthcawl The Mumbles Swansea etc which worked very well.
There is a leisure centre with swimming pool next door and two very good restaurants just passed that.
The Hotel itself was undergoing some refurbishment which did not impact on our stay.
The breakfast is very good with a very extensive menu and the waitresses only too happy to help.
We were welcomed with complimentary biscuits and refreshments in our room which was clean and comfortable .Even had a bath to my excitement.
If I had to add a negative but not the hotel fault Expedia who we booked through were still advertising on their itinerary that the Hotel had pool and spa facilities for guests. It had been shut for some years now apparently.
We were told by the hotel though that we could use the next door leisure centre free of charge. Slightly disappointing as we went armed with our cosi to make use of the bubbles, and were not willing to go next door for the pool.
Lovely big carpark all free another bonus.

We booked this as Best Western have always been a great brand, what a disaster! On arrival it looked like we’d turned up in an abandoned war zone, derelict building next door and the grounds were untended, grass not cut. Every flower bed full of weeds and the plant pots by the door just full of soil, no plants, while in the window they proudly advertise their food hygiene rating of 1!!! For a ‘3 star hotel’ the reception was impressive and as it should be but no staff and we had to wait nearly 10 minutes before somebody arrived. Hopes still high then we noticed the sign saying the pool and spa was shut for renovation, although no workmen on site. We then went to our room, which must have been OK in the 1970s when it was last decorated, to see a TV hanging at a jaunty 10 degree angle with the mounting brackets sticking out 2” on one side and 3 on the other. Luckily I had spanner’s in the boot so fixed this, heaven knows how many years it’s been like that.
Our sea view did look over the sea, but also the derelict and vandalised huge old pub next door and our entertainment consisted of watching gangs of feral teens throwing glass into the flat roof on the floor below us and tearing off roof panels from the pub. What an absolute mess of a hotel.

Room was very basic, shower leaked and trying to get the temperature right was a nightmare. Room was too hot and the small fan supplied didnt make any difference. Carpet was stained. The wifi was incredibly weak. There was no pre warning about a function happening so had to put up with incredibly loud music late at night. Was informed due to this function we would probably struggle to get in to the resturant after 5pm. The vending machines in the lobby toilets made us question the purpose of the place. The decor in some parts looked like something from the 70s. Breakfast was good except having to wait an extra 5 minutes for the eggs to be added to the buffet. The best thing about it was its proximity to the beach. Certainly dont think it was good value for money. Wouldnt recommend a stay longer than 1 night.

It was extremely hot. As soon as I entered I turned the radiator to the lowest setting, opened the window as wide as possible and it was still far too warm hours later. There was an event on so the music was loud and worse from the open window. No ironing board or iron- had to request these.
