Gwesty'r Marine Hotel & Spa

Overall an odd experience at the Marine Hotel. We have stayed at The Marine several times in the past, we have always requested a Deluxe Double room and that is what we did again on a Bank Holiday Weekend in May. Our room (224) was nowhere near the standard we were used to at this Hotel, it looked small, tired, even shabby. If it wasn't for the view, then i probably would've complained. My partner had a Jacuzzi Bath on the afternoon of our arrival, when she emptied the bath, the tub was full of Sand, at that point we hadn't been anywhere near the beach so knew the sand must've been left in the Jacuzzi Jets from previous guests. My partner is Housekeeping Manager at a small Hotel in Shropshire and knows that these jets should be cleaned daily, and that obviously they had not been. This meant that i didnt feel comfortable having a bath myself, instead having to have a wash over the tiny sink. On our departure day, the reception was locked and nobody was available for checkout, so we decided to try and find the Breakfast Room, which was not in the same place as we remembered. We had not been informed of Breakfast times on arrival so we just hoped it would be open at 7:30. (Normally we would've had a longer lie-in on a Bank Holiday but had been woken at 4am by a Helicopter carrying out a search across the beach, so we just wanted to get going. There was nobody available at Breakfast to greet us, so my partner helped herself to the Buffet, which very surprisingly didnt include any kind of bread or toast, but for some unknown reason did include Nutella spread! What was this supposed to be spread upon?? No Toast? Breakfast was a shambles, i refused to eat anything and we tried to check out again. Reception was still locked, but we could hear someone behind the shutter, so we handed them our Key and made a hasty retreat. Not sure if The Marine is under new management, but something was obviously a miss during this visit. Overall a very disappointing stay at a Hotel we did both love up until this visit. We stay in Aber 4 or 5 times a year and may now need to find a new base for our adventures.

Booked to stay again

£90 a night for this standard and state of room..not what i would expect gor such a high price. Other room may be better, but room 335 is totally not worth the rate what so ever

I also chose the hotel to stay at when I go to uni As I travel with family its really accommodating. Food is fab, the chef stayed a little longer even though they were meant to leave 7.30pm for me to get food either the family but not feel rushed. The staff in the bar and breakfast ( blonde girl and tall guy) are always so kind amd accommodating. Staff on reception are always friendly and it's always so cosy and clean. The rooms are dated and there are faulty bits here.and there but it is overlooked easily by the accommodating style from everyone, views of the seafront and extra biscuits from the cleaning staff. Lastly the pillows are so nice but the mattresses are a stuggle for me personally due to back issues. All in all I've got to say you must try it to believe it. Reminds me of faulty towers minus the faults as such. Thanks all we will be back soon Diolch

They upgraded to a beautiful sea view room stunning view and lovely room

Lovely comfortable rooms pleasant helpful staff great location good breakfast whats not to like??

Receptionist no eye contact booking in or out. Had to pay extra for breakfast after forking out £101 for a Monday night. Hair in the tea cup!

No sea view, shower was either hotter than the sun or colder than the sea! (10 year old son couldn't hack the heat of the water) looked like a health hazard- see pic, wonky TV and toilet roll holder that fell off the wall if you looked at it funny. Offered a different room but only staying 1 night.

Lovely hotel. Room was clean and the town was easy to get to.
