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.

It was very convenient and comfortable - lovely room

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.

In a good location, staff were friendly & helpful. Room was perfect for the money, comfortable bed, clean & a great shower. Breakfast in the morning was tasty & overall I enjoyed my stay. Would recommend if your looking to stay for a couple nights.

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.

Had a wonderful time at The Red Lion. Centrally located with modern comfortable rooms. Excellent free long stay parking 1 block away. Quiet rooms and clean.

Very nice but pub customers leaving at closing time were a bit noisey

Very nice but pub customers leaving at closing time were a bit noisey

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.

Center of town, friendly staff, breakfast included, parking 1 block away. And….its a room over a pub!! Perfect!

Brilliant pub close to all amenities, free parking and close to the river.

Lovely place would recommend

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.
