Couldn't really fault for the price paid. Modern and spotless. Good location for the town, and very friendly helpful staff. All good. Nice boozer too.
Public parking around the corner - and its free! Downside is its often full during the day - better to wait until after 5pm if you can. There are plenty of other parking options around the town.
All personal preference - but a later check out would have been nice; we are not 10am people!

Was greeted warmly, room was lovely, clean, had everything you need, large TV, kettle, all you needed for hot drinks, nice chocolate and shower gels, breakfast your absolutely spoiled for choice, the full English was amazing cooked by the lovely Debbie. All staff were helpful and cared that my stay was enjoyable, I would recommend a stay here for sure

Horrible night, after telling us the pub shuts at 11pm and they had nothing on that night, we got back around 10pm to pumping music with people screeching along, that was so loud it shook the whole room. We thought it would stop at 11, it didn’t, so thought 12 was fair, but no, they carried on until 2am this morning followed by feral party revellers shouting and screeching outside until about 4am. It was an awful experience, and we considered driving home at 2am. The room was ok, clean and the shower was nice, but the total inconsideration from the Red Lion for their guests was unbelievable. They need to decide if they are a nightclub or a guesthouse, because this clearly doesn’t work. Would not recommend this guesthouse unless you want to party all night, but if you just want to have peace to sleep, then don’t stay here.

Room was very clean, fresh so was shower room.
Outside does not look much at all, the bar was noisy however so you got to the room that could be heard.
Could have done with heating on in the night a little chilly
Five Star Breakfast full english freshly cooked and plenty of food on it a very nice breakfast

I’ve never left a review for a hotel before, and I am never typically one to complain. For restaurants I have only ever left positive reviews, and for negative experiences I have remained silent. This is the first negative review I have ever posted. I just want that to provide context, so that you are able to understand that this review is here to prevent you from making the same mistake as I did. This review is honest and fair.
To summarise and keep things short; the hotel was in a good location. The room was comfortable, and was good value for money if it had been their standard prices. However, I stayed during peak times, so you can expect prices to be higher. Staff were friendly on arrival, however were not present on checkout. I paid for breakfast to be included in my stay, and when asked what time it would be served, I was advised that the chef does not come in until the afternoon and there will be no breakfast. On top of this, there was music until midnight so loud I could hear every single lyric above my T.V. Reading other reviews, this music can carry on until the early hours of the morning and staff are unwilling to help. This was detrimental and the purpose of my stay was business and the reason I was away was to get up early the next day. I ever saw a review where a woman lived on the same street multiple doors down, and is kept up at night with this music. I am really disappointed with this visit and I want to warn others so that they can get sleep elsewhere.

Perfect for our overnight stay in Cardigan. The room was clean with comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Landlady very welcoming. Would certainly recommend and stay again.

The room was large, smart and clean. Fridge had a wierd fishy smell. For me, the pub noise stopped at 11pm so OK. Parking tight - some free 6pm-8am which may be all you need but otherwise public car park at £4.60 for 24hrs and 200m walk; no info provided. I was told at check-in that breakfast is not included in the Hotels.com rate and to find my own at a local cafe.

Tried to stay another 4 nights for the same price as my first 4 nights was almost double the amount. Had to book a different location to be with in my budget. Great place to stay was very relaxing.

I stayed at the Red Lion for 2 nights (Fri & Sat) in June. First, the pluses .... the pub is in an excellent position, a few mins walk from the town centre and the free car park is literally 2 mins walk away ... but very limited spaces so its a bit pot luck. I was greeted by a lovely young lady who showed me to my room ... I had room 1 which was really nice, large with a very nice bathroom and a small fridge which is always a bonus especially as it was very warm while I was there. I only had breakfast on one morning but it was lovely, cooked to order (same young lady, she is a gem) and very tasty. I have no complaints about my room or the service at all .... but .... the pub is obviously very popular and as they have a licence until 1am it was very loud ... although I did enjoy the music 😄. I was made aware of this when I booked so I cant really complain and it was worse because of the heat as I had to keep the windows open. Unfortunately this did impact my sleep but once the pub closed it was fine and the bed was super comfy. I would def stay again though and if you are planning on being out in the evenings it wont bother you that the pub is open until late. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would def stay again but maybe next time it will be when its a bit cooler and I can keep the window closed 😄

The room is lovely, the bathroom feels quite new, and the location perfect for being in Cardigan. But it's a proper "inn", which means you're above the pub. It's not a quiet local, but has loud music until after midnight. You'll hear it. It's not so much an issue for me, as I was out until around midnight anyway. But if I needed to be to bed early or wanted a quiet night in, I'd have struggled. I'd not come with the family. More for a party spot to stay over.

A little pub a short walk from the town part. Nice and peaceful. A free car park a short distance away along the river.
Twin room looked good until we realised there was no room to put our (small) cases down with causing a trip hazard. No hangers in wardrobe so hung our coats on the bed headboard. We had to ask for a remote control for the tv. Ample bathroom space.
Whilst passing other rooms the next day, they looked comfortably larger. Luck of the draw l suppose.

We booked this at very short notice, as Storm Francis had put us off going ahead with our intended stay at a campsite near Tenby. This was pretty much the only hotel choice available in the whole of south west Wales. We found the place ok, but it was a bit of a maze finding out the best way to navigate the VERY narrow lanes to get to the nearest (free) car park. Apart from a dirty towel left in the wardrobe, and a view out of the window into a yard full of dog muck, the room was ok, and bed was comfortable. The pub downstairs doesn't serve dinner, and due to the latest Welsh Covid guidelines, you have to book a table in advance wherever you go. We hadn't done this, and couldn't get a table anywhere in town. We ended up with the nastiest Chinese takeaway we've ever had, and the hotel supplied us with plates and cutlery so we could take it to our room. The Red Lion was ok in the last minute circumstances, but massively overpriced, and probably not somewhere we would choose to stay in future.

Room was lovely modern and clean. Paid for breakfast but staff didn’t know we were having breakfast.
It is a pub and very noisy at closing time.

All good with the room. Newly refurbished to a good standard. Just a lot of bar noise into 2.30 in the morning. So didn’t get much sleep.

My stay was greately impeded by lack of sleep the room was directly above the cellar & the noise from chillers & fans was like there was an arctic lorry parked outsid with it's engine running all night. Added to which I found it virtually impossible to enjoy my breakfast as someone was washing the pub floor with a ton of bleach the smell of which was really toxic. The young lady was polite & friendly but didn't know what I meant when I asked for fresh coffee the only option was instant nescafe: horendous; I would never stay there again!

Love room. Great location and very good staff. But and it’s a big but. It is a popular local pub which is open until 2.30 am. The rooms are not sound proofed so if you want to sleep you have to wait until the pud closes. Extremely noisy.

The hotel rooms have recently been renovated to a high quality. Great bed and shower. Great location and easy parking at minimal cost nearby.
