The Townhouse was located very well in the heart of Aberaeron, on the harbour. It was peaceful during our stay in early May. I liked the GHD hairdryer. Fresh milk in the fridge with tea and coffee maker, is always very welcome. Good spacious shower. I liked having table service for breakfast.

There isn't a reception area within the building where the bedrooms are located. Breakfast is served in the building across the road. Neither of these points made a huge difference to us but I guess if it was lashing down with rain or if you had a query you'd normally pop to reception for, then could be inconvenient. The bed was on the small side.

The managers who work at the Hive gave us a great welcome . The room was beautifully furnished with radio and TV and a walkin shower on the ground floor.Also two complementary tokens for honey ice cream at the Hive Restaurant opposite where we had a fantastic breakfast that lasted us all day! The surprise Welsh hospitality was a real coffee machine with fresh milk and complementary drinks in the fridge. Thank you

Sadly at this time the Harbour is being refurbished so woken at 8am. Great for those wanting to watch diggers, cranes and dumper trucks in action. Of course not the fault of the Hive

The Hive exceeded our expectations in all regards. We travel frequently and this was among one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Aga was exceedingly helpful, from checking us into our room to serving us at the restaurant. We have never stayed at a place that was so giving with its ammenities. The room had a bountiful mini-bar and the breakfast was superb. The room itself was immaculately clean and well-appointed. It was obvious it was designed with travelers in mind. We especially appreciated the convenient outlets and light switches located on each side of the best. The bathroom was clean, towels luxurious, and bed comfortable. Free parking is available at a public lot a block away from the townhouses. I can’t recommend this property highly enough!!

Totally beyond the hotel’s control, but there is an extensive construction project for the harbor adjacent to the hotel and restaurant.

We arrived just before lunch and were able to park just outside the front door, we went across to the Hive restaurant for coffee and mentioned that we were staying in the townhouse and a lovely lady informed us that the room was ready if we wanted to check into the room, the room was lovely with music playing and the log effect fire was also on, what a lovely experience, the room was spotless, couldn't ask for better..we also had some drinks and snacks provided in the mini bar, another lovely touch.all the staff were fantastic and made us feel welcomed. Breakfast was in the Hive restaurant in the morning across the road and that was also excellent ..couldn't fault anything , we also had evening meal on one night at the Hive and it was one of the best burgers I've ever had..thanks

We were welcomed to our room which was one of the most beautiful rooms I’ve stayed in. The radio was already on which was a nice welcome. Speciality teas and coffee machine and complimentary bar with water, beers and cocktails included. The room was decorated beautifully. The bath was stunning - copper bath. Shower room with high end hand wash etc provided. We had the best stay. The breakfast at The Hive over the road was exceptional - great selection available and both mornings, the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back again! Exceptional!!

Absolutely beautiful room and stay. The view from the room even with the harbour work going on is beautiful. Our room was clean and spacious with everything you need and more. Well stocked complementary mini bar and snack station, hair dryer, coffee machine, toiletries and lots of extra bits like toothpaste and toothbrush. Great host who even contacted us before our original booking to allow us to move the dates due to weather warnings in place that weekend. Beautiful breakfast We also had our evening meal at the hive restaurant which was also great Highly recommend and we will be back and stay longer next time.

We stayed in Belle Vue room - absolutely beautiful with lovely views across the water. Very clean and comfortable with everything we needed and wanted, including refreshments, toiletries, and fast wifi. Even a free ice cream! Included breakfast was varied and great quality in the lovely Hive restaurant over the road. Free parking available in the harbour carpark <100m away. Can easily walk around the town and along the coast path from the Townhouse. Staff were very kind and helpful. Overall a fantastic stay and we will definitely be back.

Absolutely no fault of the Hive Townhouse, but worth being aware that there are currently building works going on in the harbour and street outside (due to be finished by early 2025) which can be loud in the morning from about 7.30, and may disturb you if you want to enjoy a lie in.

We had high hopes based on other reviews but this exceeded them and then some. The attention to detail and customer service were genuinely among the best we have ever experienced. So friendly. The food matched it too with beautiful breakfasts, gorgeous lunches and the best ice cream. The location is also incredible although at present there is a lot of work going on in the harbour, which was made very clear throughout the booking process and will be finished in the next couple of months. We will be back.

The town is beautiful and the Hive is centrally located - within easy reach of the beach, the shops, restaurants and parking. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The room was like something out of Homes and Gardens magazine!! Beautifully furnished - spotless - fab toileteries and even a fridge with complimentary beers and cocktails! (plus crisps, nuts, biscuits and an ice cream!) Comfortable beds - very quiet. The food first class - we had dinner and breakfast - We shall certainly be returning and recommending The Hive to all our friends and family!! Thank you everyone at the Hive!

Nothing!

The attention to detail in the design and facilities in the room was the best I have found, and I've been staying in some very pricey top end hotels in recent months. By far the best thought out room, with superb finishes. All the extras such as snacks etc were included, very civilized! The personal welcome letter was a lovely touch. The staff are so friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is an event in itself. Such a lovely low key atmosphere and as a single female traveller I could not have felt more welcome / safe / comfortable.

Not at all the fault of the hotel but the harbour was being restructured so the workmen started at 8am which was predictable but a shame, and somewhat took away from the 'sea view' room which I paid extra for. These things happen though, can't be helped.
