We stayed at the Best Western Aberavon Beach for 3 nights. It was a very pleasant Hotel The staff very friendly and helpful . Aidan especially on reception. We used it as a central base to be able to travel around the area eg Porthcawl The Mumbles Swansea etc which worked very well. There is a leisure centre with swimming pool next door and two very good restaurants just passed that. The Hotel itself was undergoing some refurbishment which did not impact on our stay. The breakfast is very good with a very extensive menu and the waitresses only too happy to help. We were welcomed with complimentary biscuits and refreshments in our room which was clean and comfortable .Even had a bath to my excitement. If I had to add a negative but not the hotel fault Expedia who we booked through were still advertising on their itinerary that the Hotel had pool and spa facilities for guests. It had been shut for some years now apparently. We were told by the hotel though that we could use the next door leisure centre free of charge. Slightly disappointing as we went armed with our cosi to make use of the bubbles, and were not willing to go next door for the pool. Lovely big carpark all free another bonus.

We booked this as Best Western have always been a great brand, what a disaster! On arrival it looked like we’d turned up in an abandoned war zone, derelict building next door and the grounds were untended, grass not cut. Every flower bed full of weeds and the plant pots by the door just full of soil, no plants, while in the window they proudly advertise their food hygiene rating of 1!!! For a ‘3 star hotel’ the reception was impressive and as it should be but no staff and we had to wait nearly 10 minutes before somebody arrived. Hopes still high then we noticed the sign saying the pool and spa was shut for renovation, although no workmen on site. We then went to our room, which must have been OK in the 1970s when it was last decorated, to see a TV hanging at a jaunty 10 degree angle with the mounting brackets sticking out 2” on one side and 3 on the other. Luckily I had spanner’s in the boot so fixed this, heaven knows how many years it’s been like that. Our sea view did look over the sea, but also the derelict and vandalised huge old pub next door and our entertainment consisted of watching gangs of feral teens throwing glass into the flat roof on the floor below us and tearing off roof panels from the pub. What an absolute mess of a hotel.

Room was very basic, shower leaked and trying to get the temperature right was a nightmare. Room was too hot and the small fan supplied didnt make any difference. Carpet was stained. The wifi was incredibly weak. There was no pre warning about a function happening so had to put up with incredibly loud music late at night. Was informed due to this function we would probably struggle to get in to the resturant after 5pm. The vending machines in the lobby toilets made us question the purpose of the place. The decor in some parts looked like something from the 70s. Breakfast was good except having to wait an extra 5 minutes for the eggs to be added to the buffet. The best thing about it was its proximity to the beach. Certainly dont think it was good value for money. Wouldnt recommend a stay longer than 1 night.

Our room was spacious and comfortable, but very hot, even though two portable fans were provided, because the heating pipes were permanently on, but even so, the availability of hot water was unreliable. Lovely view of the beach and across the bay to The Mumbles.
