D12 Treetops

3 km from Camera Obscura

"D12 treetops at Clarach bay is a lovely setting. Family friendly and lovely staff. We had hot water and good recycling facilities. The site was perfect. However, some of our bedcovers had chocolate on them!!! We found spares to use instead. The green headboard on the main bedroom had a strong smell of unwashed hair ( it seriously needs to be replaced). We had no WiFi and on enquiring we were informed the previous guests had used it up? There were plenty cleaning materials and cooking facility...

Top Camera Obscura Hotel Reviews

Aberystwyth Park Lodge

8/10 Good

"Hotel was inviting and convenient with onsite good parking. Room was very clean. Shower OUTSTANDING!"

The Four Seasons Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"It's difficult to believe a hotel this bad can function. I was given a twin despite booking a 'superior double'. The furniture was worn, the plug in the handbasin didn't work, the heavy TV was attached to the wall with a small bracket missing several screws, and bizarrely the tea-tray had a dessert spoon and fork instead of teaspoons! But most noticeably there were no towels. I pointed this out and was told "We're aware of it. It's being seen to." Several hours later, desperate for a shower, I phoned the out-of-hours number (the hotel does not have 24/7 reception as claimed) and asked again for towels. Someone came to my door, threw a single towel at me and walked off without a word. Meanwhile in another room, my wife had towels but no hot water. Getting to sleep was difficult as my room faced onto the courtyard/carpark where superbright security lights blast out all night, and there are no blackout curtains on the window. At about 5am one of the guests, drunk as a skunk, started stamping around the hotel, aggressively swearing at the top of his lungs, for an hour. When it came time for breakfast, everyone had to step over him as he had passed out on the stairs in a pool of urine. We checked out early and moved into the chain hotel across the road. I requested a refund for the nights we missed but the hotel refused. They simply do not care about their guests: no explanations, no apologies, they just want your money. Do NOT, under any circumstances, stay at the Four Seasons."

Harleys Aberystwyth

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and amenities provided adequate. Parking is an issue and depends on the availability of an unsupervised pay-and-display car park at a church that is within a 5 minute walk. There is a process to be followed (via codes and lockbox) to gain access to the hotel via a door beside waste bins. Information on this is provided remotely by a helpful staff member, The staff member engaged for this (Heather) was friendly and very helpful over the phone). The hotel is also a nightclub and hence guests need to be aware and prepared for loud music until the early hours on Fridays and Saturdays. (Ear-plugs were provided). The location of the hotel is very convenient for the beach/waterfront and is a short walk from the central area of town."
