Location

Aberystwyth Castle is just 400 metres away, while Aberystwyth train station is a short way from this hotel. Sights around 25 minutes' walk from the Pier Aberystwyth include Penglais Campus.

The location will allow you to be within reach of the copyright National Library of Wales.

Eat & Drink

Ultracomida, situated a mere 0.6 km away, is a perfect place to enjoy Catalan cuisine.

“What stands out is its prime location near the seafront, putting you steps away from Aberystwyth's attractions. Rooms are not just clean, but thoughtfully equipped with amenities like a mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities, alongside practical additions such as blackout curtains. For those seeking a well-located and convenient base, it's a solid choice.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Pier Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Pier Hotel is often praised for its excellent location, being just a minute's walk from the seafront and close to local amenities. Guests frequently highlight the spacious, clean rooms, which come well-equipped with tea and coffee facilities, a mini-fridge, and often feature a large bathroom with a good shower; some have noted the toilet might need some maintenance. It's considered great value, especially given its central position, and some appreciate the free street parking near the church or the affordable car park nearby, although a few guests mentioned issues regarding cot availability. Many also enjoyed the deep-pan pizza takeaway just up the road.
