Had a really lovely stay at the Black Lion Hotel. It’s right in the heart of town, so everything is an easy walk, and the place has that perfect mix of historic charm and modern comfort. My room was spotless, cosy and quiet — proper good night’s sleep.
What really stood out was the atmosphere. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, nothing felt like too much trouble, and you’re made to feel at home straight away. Breakfast was excellent too — fresh, tasty and a great start to the day.
If you want somewhere friendly, comfortable and full of character in Cardigan, this is a cracking choice. I’d happily stay again.

Great location in heart of Cardigan. Booked the valentines menu which was 5 course sharing menu with dishes I would not have ordered by choice but every dish was delicious & really enjoyed
There were 2 empty wine bottles left by bin in room from previous guests but apart from that everything else was spotless

Good location. Breakfast was good but more fruit would be nice. Very pleasant and helpful staff.
Room was somewhat cold at times. One radiator was not enough to heat the room.

The location, although parking could be difficult.
The room lacked a bedside table on one side of the bed, no glasses for water in the room. The room was on an angle and a little bit tight on one side by the tv.

Perfect location in the centre of town. The staff were extremely helpful and gave us a great welcome. The ambiance of the bar area was perfect and the roaring fire was just what was required on a crisp sunny winter weekend! The food was great and the breakfast was delicious.
The wash hand basin was tiny and water went on your clothes or floor no matter how careful you were. But the shower was brilliant…… a good size with great pressure and control of temperature.
It would have been good to have had glasses and bottled water in the room.

Lovely bedroom in keeping with the building with beautiful beams and fireplace. Exceptionally clean and looks brand new as recently refurbished.
Staff very welcoming and breakfast was excellent. Good value for money. Would definitely stay again.
A slightly brighter lighting would help as a little dark but did not put me off ever going back again as fantastic accommodation.
Parking wasn’t too far away if private full and only £7 for 24 hours.

Big clean room, great bathroom, towels changed daily.
Breakfast was delicious, with a great choice available
All staff were very welcoming and friendly
Stated parking at 1 pound a day, not onsite but 150 yds away, but cost 2 pounds for 3 hours, spoke to management said would update the description. Other car parking available locally,from 7.00 pound for 24 hours
Lots of steps up to the rooms, not a problem if your active, may be a problem if you have low mobility.

Breakfast was not very good, the eggs and sausages were not cooked properly and the slice of toast had been cut into three.
As above and there was quite a bit of dust in the bedroom where the hair dryer was kept

Everything except the parking. Staff are very friendly, food was delicious and room very comfortable.
Parking is an issue, designated parking is not close to the hotel if you have cases. Parking on street nearby is available after 6pm, this was fine but difficult if you arrive earlier

The breakfast was very good, as was customer service. It was pretty quiet even though a pub, so had no problem with noise. Bedding and room was clean. Nice bathroom. Would stay again.
That particular room needs some attention. The curtain was hanging on by a thread. The ceiling had quite a number of cracks and looked like there might be a leak in the roof above it. Looks like it might collapse in at some point.

Cheap hotel in a nice area, so at the price it was you can't really complain. The room was a good size and had all the facilities we needed. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was good. Cardigan is a lovely little town with lots of independent shops and cafes.
Some areas had been missed in the cleaning. The bedding was a bit damaged with holes in it.
