Hotels in Aberystwyth

Promenade hotels — university town rooms, not a Borth caravan park.

Aberystwyth hotels sit on the promenade and in the town — useful if you are mixing the pier with the National Library or campus. Confirm parking; August fills the front and term-start weekends fill town rooms. Borth caravans are the next shore on the same taxi table.
