As somebody who usually opts to stay in chain hotels, I was pleasantly surprised by the Richmond. On arrival, the staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient. Checking in was fast and straightforward. The inside of the room was very modern and fresh. The room came with a cup, saucer, and teapot! This was a welcome change from making tea in... More

Great location on the sea front. Could sit in the bay window and watch the promenade and sea. The room was a good size and nicely furnished: recently refurbished judging by the mint condition. The bathroom was a good size and also looked new. Downside was there were three flights of stairs to climb, but worth it for the views.... More

Great service and a good location on the seafront with excellent views. Despite being in an older building, the interior of the hotel is very clean and the room (particularly the bathroom) doesn't feel dated at all. Good car parking as well. More

The seaview was special, you were able to sit in the bay window of the room and read a book, have a drink and watch the world go by. It was very quiet, though this... More

An OK hotel in Aber. Stayed here for two nights while visiting my friend who is an exchange student in town. The room was ok, but the bathroom was a bit poor. Breakfast is included and it was a typical English breakfast. All in all - average. The hotel is literally on the beach, so I guess it is lovely... More

I stayed at the Richmond hotel during a visit to Aberystwyth on the occasion of a friends' Wedding. Check in was easy, quick and straightforward although they never advised me that there was free internet available! The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was superb! The location is absolutely perfect for a city-by-the-coast break. On the down side, I... More

We stayed on probably the first warm day of the year so far. A fan would not have gone amiss but as it was only March we didn't really expect one. The fresh fruit at breakfast was excellent. What a choice of fruit. I have never had anything like it before in a hotel. Well done. A true warm Welsh... More
