Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I am afraid that I believe that you have the wrong business. There are many businesses with the word Gwesty in Aberystwyth … Please can this be removed.

We spent a lovely night here at Gwesty Cymru. Room No 8 right at the top was well worth all the stairs, beautifully appointed, a bathroom to die for, very romantic. Great views across Cardigan Bay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, compliments to the chef! Will definitely be back.

When we arrived at the hotel, which is directly on the sea front, it was late. The the pathway to the hotel was well lit, as was the parking. The staff were super polite and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Once we were shown to our room, the lady returned with some complimentary Prosecco, which, after a long day was the perfect tonic! The room was spotlessly clean, had a walk-in shower, free WIFI and a great selection of teas,coffee and chocolates. Breakfast was superb! Everything was freshly cooked from good quality produce. Would recommend!

Very comfortable hotel, and very welcoming staff. Also a great location where you can just step out onto the promenade. Although possibly not a frequent issue on the west coast of Wales, we really appreciated the air conditioning in the unusually hot weather!

We ate at the restaurant, had one of their meat and cheese platters. The food and drinks were delicious and laid out so nicely. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, very chatty. Was nice to sit facing the sea on a lovely day with good food.

Unbeatable views, great food and lovely staff. They often have amazing local talent performing music or exhibiting art which is always a pleasure to attend. A credit to the local community with reasonably priced drinks and food for the location and aesthetic of the place. And does brilliant work giving a sophisticated space for local artists to showcase their work. I would highly recommend the Gwesty rain or shine. A gorgeous seafront garden and a cosy inside.

This is such a lovely friendly little spot right across from the sea so you can enjoy gorgeous views while sipping a glass of wine, which I luckily get to do regularly. The owner staff are all really helpful, especially Kris, and there is a good selection of wines spirits and cocktails. Watching the sun go down into the sea from its terrace with a glass of wine in your hand it really is the best spot for it in Aberystwyth.
