The Richmond Hotel Aberystwyth, a Grade II listed former Merchant's House, enjoys an enviable prime sea front location on the main promenade overlooking Cardigan Bay and is a short stroll to the town centre and University. We offer a friendly, relaxed yet attentive level of service. Well appointed rooms are thoughtfully equipped to meet the needs of our business and leisure guests. Splendid sea views can be appreciated from many of the rooms and public areas. We pride ourselves in sourcing local Welsh products for you to enjoy when dining with us. Our private on site car park is a real bonus in this part of town.

First visit here after family have stayed here before, wow what a fabulous hotel, the staff were the friendliest we have come across and all of them couldnt do enough for you, they were all absolutely wonderful and we cant wait to come back. The rooms are clean, the bed and pillows were so comfy, being right on the sea front is great hearing the waves from your sea view room. The breakfast was so tasty and everything was so efficient and with lots of care, thought and attention. I cant say enough good things about this hotel and we will definitely be back. The Webb Family.

The hotel is in a great location - right on the seafront. We would definitely recommend booking a room with a sea view. The room itself was very clean but seemed a little tired. Breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly. There's a bar area downstairs which also has a sea view.

Our stay was perfect for the room, staff and the hotel itself. Easy to book and can trust. Early check in. Room 2 had bay windows looking on to the sea. Could watch the waves from a comfy chair or the bed. Clean and bright. Breakfast was cooked to order and hot with quality produce. Fruit included pomegranates, blackberries and raspberries. The receptionist and breakfast boys were friendly and professional. We highly recommend and will return.

Booked to return having enjoyed our stay last year. Most things were as good as they were and the dinner we had was excellent. Unfortunately, we visited during a heat wave. The hotel did not provide fans and the windows only open to the extent of a couple of sheets of A4 paper (for safety reasons). See photo. The room was, therefore, unpleasantly hot almost all of the time. The responses we had when we expressed out dissatisfaction were poor, ‘We were not expecting a heat wave, the fans have gone off for PAT testing and have not come back, this is one of the things on our backlog that needs doing’ and ‘It’s been over 40 degrees in the kitchen’. When we pointed out that they could have bought a desk fan in Argos for £15, £12 with VAT refunded and that didn’t seem too much to ask as we were paying £520.00 for a 4-night stay there was no response other than a vague apology. …

We stayed 2 nights in a lovely sea view room that was very spacious as was the bathroom. Breakfasts were great. Staff good. Next time we go to Aberystwyth we hope that this hotel will have a vacancy for us. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you so much ! From the moment I arrived I felt welcome, the staff could give lessons to others in terms of customer service breakfast was leagues ahead - probably y the best breakfast in Wales! Tables all set out nicely with your room number .. free private parking at the rear, ok the decor for example the carpet in hall way and stairs is dated but it’s all clean and my room was clean, coffee etc, toiletries, spotless comfortable double bed with modern clean quilt and white linen. The fact that this place cares shines out, it’s tough for hotels post the pandemic and I’ll be returning here with guests as I’m a travel agent.. Thanks again

We stayed for two nights on a midweek mini break. The price for a double room was competitive, the room directly overlooked the sea and the promenade. The hotel staff were most friendly and engaging, and made us feel welcome. Tea, coffee and biscuits in the room. Free parking at the rear of the hotel, which few of the other promenade hotels can boast of. We has dinner at the hotel one evening, the food was Welsh inspired and well cooked and served. Certainly a hotel we would come back to.

We have been to the Richmond several times and it is always a delight. The location could not be better - right on the front and near to everything you might need. We had a room with a sea view and can heartily recommend that. Breakfast is good too.
