Guests say
Flat 5E in Aberystwyth is praised for its prime location near the town centre and seaside, with spacious and comfortable rooms. Guests appreciate the provided amenities and the private parking, though some noted issues with noise, key collection, and a lack of welcome gifts.
Most guests found the apartment spotlessly clean upon arrival, contributing to a high cleanliness rating. However, one review mentioned a stale smell, which slightly lowers the score.
The apartment's location is highly regarded, being close to the town centre, seaside, and main shopping street. Parking convenience is also noted, although it is described as tight for larger vehicles.
The comfort of the apartment is generally well-received, with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. However, some guests found the mattresses hard and the flat cold upon arrival, which affects the comfort score.
Facilities are adequate with most items well provided, but there are several complaints about maintenance issues such as the unusable hot tub and worn paintwork. The lack of clear instructions for key collection also impacts this score.
There is no consistent mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. Tea bags and UHT cartons are provided, but as there's no mention of this being a gift or extra, the score is set to null.

This is a great location for the town. We have walked for eats and drinks with ease to all amenities. Parking is very tight, okay if you have a small car, but otherwise it's snug. The apartment is lovely, simple and warm, clean enough. Only 1 bath sheet is provided and it could have provided tea towels. I read the word luxury in this listing, it's perhaps subjective. There is no welcome pack, but tea bags and UHT single serve cartons. The bedrooms are comfy as are the beds. Key pick up is not straight forward. Cottages.com couldn't answer some amenities questions and advised me to call the host direct, who coincidentally said to come to his hotel for the keys, otherwise not sure how this information would have been relayed. If you like a lot of ice, bring your own ice trays, otherwise most items are well provided.

Slecht. Appartement was fantastisch. Helaas was het dubbel geboekt en werden wij eruit gegooid. De hotelkamer die we kregen was verschrikkelijk. De vervangende kamer stonk naar verf, had een vieze keuken en vies tapijt, één stoel en één nachtkastje op drie bedden. Enige verwarming stond tegen het tweepersoonsbed aan en kon niet aan, bed kon je maar aan één kant uit. Enorme verflucht en raam beneden aan de straat dus kon niet open. Afschuwelijke plek. En dat omdat de eigenaar aan de volgende klant meer kon verdienen.

The property is first class and close enough to the town centre. I would suggest that the cooking utensils could be up graded but that is a minor criticism.
