We booked and paid for 2 rooms, arrived at 7.30 pm, the place was shut, locked. We asked around locally and were told " You don't want to stay there " and other horror stories.

Room was clean and functional. Bed awful . Like sleeping on a board. Lovely traditional old pub though. Beer was cheap and the barkeep Alex was lovely. But for £45 for one night you can’t expect much.

All the good reviews on this place are lies go with the bad ones and you won't be disappointed. The brecon beacons are flatter than the bathroom floor . TV that didnt work . The whole place needs a revamp . Avoid this place at all costs cleaner's vacuum even has mud flaps attached to it .. I star is to much for this hotel (bail hostel)

If you want to stay there, bring air freshener and a hoover! Disgusting place!

Awful place to stay, needs some serious money spent on this place. Our room had no heating for 3 nights (January). One star is probably too much to be honest. Just avoid here and go somewhere else.

This is one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed and I’ve stayed a lot of places. The bathroom was disgusting with mould all round the bath, the bedroom had sticky carpet and peeling wall paper. If it was cheap it would be bad, but at what is cost it was atrocious.

At £40 a night this was good value for money. At this price don't expect to be in the lap of luxury. It's comfortable but it's a little tired. Ideal for our motorcycle trip though.

The title is the best thing you can say about this hotel..it is at least there. Every image you see on the site here is false. basically it is on its knees, there is no food (apart from biscuits with the tea). I do feel sorry for them in many ways but all you see is not right. I see one review saying Great Hidden Gem? Well, its still hidden. Think 80's down at heal but in 2021 and you've got it. The bar has a nice young man serving, but it really is a place to walk in and walk out of. For us bikers on a wet night it was ok, but if you'd arrived thinking of a nice quaint hotel, you'd be guttted.

We ordered three pizzas and two sides on a Friday evening. Pizza prices are between £9 and £10 each and includes local delivery. Sides are priced between £2 and £4. Excellent service. Delivery was on time and the food was hot. All pizzas are on 12” thin bases. The Castle Hotel offers this special service to the local community during lockdown while the pub itself and restaurant is closed. We will definitely order delivered pizzas from the Castle again.

Hubby and I popped in here as we were starving hungry. Place was deserted and we did wonder if it was an omen. Couldn't have been further from the truth. We both decided on curry. We sat at a lovely table in the window and watched the world go by whilst we waited. When the good arrived, it was piping hot. There was a decent serving of curry, rice and chips. Plus a poppadom and a naan each, together with mango chutney and the lovely yoghurty sauce. It tasted gorgeous and was very filling. And a good price at £7.50 per head. Much enjoyed.

Great place, great food, cozy rooms & the couple (Mike & Bron) that run it are awesome! Building has lots of character that adds old charm. Would stay again.

Above average budget food, Really pleasant staff ,good attentive service Basic pub grub really at elevated prices though. The food was acceptable enough but the premises felt a little dingy and aged but not too off putting

Tried the new carvery. The food average. The chicken just needed something! The vegetables- self service were ok. The parsnips needed cooking. So cannot recommend as the new place to go. Maybe early days. The sweet a crumble was just stodgy Will try again in s few months. Maybe worth a try.

We ate in the Castle because my friends wanted to have lunch somewhere that had a licence. We all chose fish and chips. There was a wait, because the beer batter for the fish had to be freshly made, but this was apologised for in advance. My friends complained that the bottom of their fish batter was soggy, but mine was fine. The service was friendly and helpful, the room rather dark and unloved. I don't think the present owners have been there very long, and I assume that things will get better with time.

Friendly staff, good menu and reasonably priced, but we waited 20 minutes for the food to come, only to find out 2 out of the 4 of us that the order was unavailable, a 2nd choice was made and a further 20 minutes later the food arrived. The excuse was that everything is cooked to order....! Food although very hot was barely average..... homemade chips were excellent!

On entering the building, the first impression is that it looked as it needs a good makeover. The whole place appears tired and in need of repair and decoration. The staff were friendly and said that they were waiting for some contractors to move in and overhaul the place - I hope that this happens sooner rather than later as, being centralised in the High Street, it should be one of the main paces to which both locals and travellers would want to go to.

Up here for a day with my dog! Not many in here for a Friday lunchtime but they are dog friendly! The meals seemed ok and for a basic place all appeared in order! Not much more to say other than if you are in the area and have a dog this is a good venue and as stated previously although I didn't eat there, the meals served looked ok!

My stay on a Saturday night was £30pn. No frills but centrally located and did what it said on the tin. I was happy with my stay and did not expect too much for the price. Definitely a tired place and needs some work to bring up to scratch, price was about right for what is on offer.

Came for lunch, I ordered a chilli jacket potato- the chilli was dry, no sauce, very small amount of chilli for the £7.40 I paid- I was very disappointed! I didn't feel comfortable complaining as I didn't want to cause a fuss; a lot of the servers seemed quite stressed and a little inexperienced. (No offence intended, they all seemed lovely) My friend ordered bacon cheese burger, she received the wrong order but the waitress was very apologetic and sorted it right away.

I was severed today by a very charming, customer service focused employee at this Costa. She has served me before and as ever never fails to impress, Lisa is definitely an asset to Costa and indeed this Costa store in Aberystwyth. Thank you Lisa, keep up the fantastic work.

Not impressed having a dog on your shoulder while serving. Surely that's not hygienic. Hands should be washed.

The lady who took my order was abrupt and did not have a friendly manner. We found Express Fish and Chips expensive and the food was below par. Our order was a takeaway order, and despite asking for salt and vinegar on the chips, there was none. Fortunately, I checked the order before leaving, as some of the food was missing. There was no apology, and our food (£33 for four people) was merely placed on the counter. It was far too much to carry, and I had to ask for a bag. We wouldn't return.
