The staff knew it was my wife's 80th birthday the day we arrived and that she loves the sea. As a result we had a room on the ground floor with a sea view. I don't think they organised the sunset on the first night but it was wonderful.

The parking was a bit tight but that was due to some renovation work happening at the back of the hotel. The builders vans took up part of the car park. When we left it looked as if they had almost finished. An eV charger in the carpark would be helpful. There are however a lot of fast eV chargers about a mile away at the national library of Wales.

A real traditional hotel with space and comfort at its heart. The staff were very friendly and helpful, offering to carry the luggage up to our room, and efficient in finding our reservation and allocating our room. The room was spacious and had a lovely bay window overlooking the sea and promenade, with a table and comfy chairs you can relax in and watch the world go by. The room was clean, had good lighting so reading was easy and comfortable. The bathroom was large with a full length bath and shower, with plenty of hot water and large white towels. Breakfast was included in our booking and very good, with three selections of prepared fresh fruit as well as the usual juices, yoghurts and cereals. The cooked part of the breakfast was freshly made, with quality, juicy bacon and fried bread with all the usual options as well. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future.

Great room with lovely view, a big family room with a double and single and large bathroom, everything needed in the room, plenty of tea, coffee and drinking chocolate, plenty of towels and free toiletries. Breakfast was very good with a great selection of hot and cold food, staff were all very nice and friendly and nothing was too much trouble, bar was well stocked and reasonably priced, great location and the private car park on site although small was good. Would definitely stay again

Tv was to small for the room and not in a good place on the wall, needs a larger tv for the size of the room and also be on a bracket that can be moved in and out as at the moment unless you sit on the single bed you cannot see the tv from anywhere else in the room, also the pillows were not the best 2 very thin pillows 1 very hard and the other lumpy just need new ones although this did not detract from our stay

Staff were really friendly and helpful, room was a good size, hotel was conveniently opposite the promenade, close to town, which is within easy walking distance, all in all great location. Tea/coffee/chocolate/biscuits facilities were well stocked, kettle and hairdryer great.

The en-suite could maybe do with a little TLC. Some of the sealant around the bath was going black, the seal on the bottom of the shower screen wasn't in great condition and the door would benefit from a coat of varnish/paint. Just a few minor issues but these didn't detract from the overall experience. However, the inclusion of a toilet brush would have been appreciated. Would we recommend. Yes, without doubt we will return.

My first time staying at the Richmond Hotel and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It was lovely to be right on the seafront and handy to be such a short walk to the station, shops and restaurants. All of the staff were friendly, welcoming, attentive and helpful from the moment I arrived and throughout my stay. I was delighted with my room: spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfy bed, excellent shower. Superb breakfast - very good selection of freshly prepared fruit to choose from, and a very nice vegetarian cooked breakfast to follow. I would definitely return.

The bedroom was large with high ceiling. The TV on the wall was also a very good size. Lovely brilliant white sheets/duvet on the comfortable king size bed. En-suite was great. We felt very comfortable in the room and would certainly use this hotel again and recommend it to our friends. Having their own car-park at the rear of the property is a bonus. Well positioned on the promenade. Also, breakfast was included in the price. The full English breakfast was the best we'd had in a long time! All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble.

Main disadvantage is probably not having a small lift, as my husband wasn't feeling too well when we first arrived. However, this would not put us off coming again.

Absolutely fantastic Hotel. All the staff were excellent, helpful and very friendly. Rooms are clean and comfy and room 10 has fantastic uninterrupted sea views across the bay, so nice to wake up in the morning and just take in the view. Breakfast was superb with a choice of cereal, fruit and of course the full cooked breakfast 😋. Parking is a real bonus here too, would definitely recommend the Richmond to anyone coming to Aberystwyth. We were hoping to book again for graduation week but sadly it's all booked up.

Stayed one night on a Solo touring Motorcycle trip around Mid Wales. Great little guest house. I had Room 14 with a cracking sea view from the bay window (and beautiful sunset!!) Comfy bed, clean room, linin, TV, tea making facilities. En suite was clean with plenty of hot water and toiletries. Breakfast was fantastic, I had full English with coffee & toast. Staff were absolutely lovely, helpful, chatty but not overbearing or “false” if you get my drift…….My bike was garaged during my stay which was an added bonus meaning I didn’t have to leave it on the road out the front. I would happily recommend this place. It was recommended to me by my Father-in-law who travels regularly on business. Book it you won’t be disappointed!

We arrived earlier than expected but the hotel allowed us to park in the car park at the back of the hotel. We had a lovely warm reception from the staff. Once we’d checked in, we went to our room. We were in Room 10 which looked out over the prom. The room was spacious, clean and bright, as was the en-suite. I really liked the table and chairs in the bay window, so that you could watch the world go by, drinking coffee. We didn’t dine in the hotel, but there is a restaurant and bar that we could have used. Breakfast was very good. There was a very large assortment of foods to choose from - cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit, fruit juices followed by a cooked breakfast and toast. We had a very comfortable stay and are looking forward to staying again in the future.

Everything was good. Managed to find a space in the car park. Great welcome. Room unusually spacious for single. Bathroom also large with excellent shower. Splendid breakfast which was served rather than buffet. Happy staff. And after I'd checked out was allowed to leave the car until 12. Result!

I last stayed here in 2018 and the breakfast room was in the front of the building overlooking the sea. It's now downstairs. Never mind!
