Best Western Aberavon Beach Hotel

The ballroom is fabulous for an event or occasion but it doesn't have air conditioning so its really warm, the rooms are the same no air con but there are little fans if its boiling I would advise taking a big fan with you.

As for the staff I was disappointed that during the night we had speeches going on and the bar staff were smashing bottles into the bottle bin even though the rest of the room was quiet I thought that was really rude.

Reception staff and Managers were lovely as always

Good size room parking was off the road making it feel safe, close to the beach and amenities. Down side was staff couldn't make up their minds when or if the pool was open. The cook needs lessons on how to cook the bacon was undercooked the sausages were pink in the middle. Yes it maybe a dog friendly hotel but a air freshener is needed. And staff need to keep an eye on other guest as some sound like they playing football until 2am.

Stayed here for a wedding. The staff were lovely and the buffet food was ok. The place itself is a little tired and in need if updating. The carpet in the halls looks wet in places but isn't, could do with being g replaced. A few problems with the room, dirty chair where it hasn't been cleaned. The duvet topper was frayed on the edge. The ceiling in the corner needed painting. Bathroom was clean but a little outdated. Bit pricey for the standards of the room, but the bed was comfy. No air-conditioning, could've done with this with it being one of the hotest days in record. Beautiful view out of the window

Dated and in need of some TLC.

Arriving in darkness, I only realised how dreadful it looks from the outside when I went for my morning run. Had I taken notice or looked in Google Street View prior to booking I may have chosen somewhere else to stay.

Inside though, it's reasonable for the price, however in significant need of a face lift. The rooms have antiquated furniture and fixings (you won't find a USB charger here).

Luckily I was only here one night, and paid for by my company so I couldn't have too much to complain about. The bed was comfortable enough and the room was spacious.

Been here so many times, and will continue to do so.
The Hotel inside is lovely, staff pleasant and friendly.
Room (seaview) perfect, definitely recommend seaview room.
Been here with and without my dog. It's fantastic, gorgeous big sandy beach. Local chippy, shop, Chinese , indian restaurant, pool, cinema.
And more along the seafront, including toilets, play park, splash pad, cafes, ice cream....
Steel works, and huge shops, make this place more interesting.
We will continue to stay here, we have never been disappointed 😁

Very outdated and smelly throughout. Loud music till midnight, no chance you can have a good night sleep. Location perfect. Room temperature is just too hot and can't adjust, i am talking when outside temp is 5-6 degrees. Very much in need of major refurbishment.
2 stars for staff and location. Staff very friendly and location is perfect.

Firstly the good points. Staff are friendly and helpful, the location is right on the seafront and the room is clean and spacious for the price.

The bad points, we asked for an iron and although we got one they didn't have an ironing board so we had to use a towel.
The swimming pool was closed down which was disappointing.

The worst part though was our room seemed to have a water pipe in the walls by the bed which dropped LOUDLY throughout the day and night, making it very hard to sleep. Thank goodness we had sound proof headphones!

Didn't end up sleeping well for the 2 night stay we had and definitely needed coffee ☕

Room was not very clean. TV remote was worn & behind TV very dusty-old dust. Had to clean the bath before I could use it. Restaurant was cold & unwelcoming at breakfast. Staff very helpful, but had to wait over an hour to be served for an evening meal in the bar, after working a 12 hour shift. Cleared tables myself, as only 1 person serving behind the bar, taking food orders & looking after the restaurant. The girl doing all this, on her own, remained calm, cheerful, helpful & positive. I won’t be staying here again! I will be staying in Port Talbot, during the week, for about a year. Have asked my company for another hotel - let’s hope it’s a better experience.
