What guests think
At The Glengower, travellers consistently praise the seafront setting and views, comfortably furnished rooms, and especially the friendly, professional staff, while the on-site pub restaurant draws frequent compliments for tasty dinners and cooked-to-order breakfasts.
Room sizes vary, with some noted as small, occasional warmth in sunny sea-facing rooms, and a few reports of noise from the pub, ventilation, or corridor doors. Parking is street-based and often challenging, and the property has no elevator. Housekeeping standards are generally high, though a handful of guests cited issues such as bathroom odour, marks, or pests. Overall, expect a characterful stay, with trade-offs around stairs and street parking.

Expedia states that parking is included and free on-site. There is no on-site parking - it is only street parking within council limits. We were lucky to get parking within walking distance; but there was very little free parking available when we checked in.

The room was on the front with a view over the sea...The room and bathroom were on the big side compared to most Hotels we have stayed in. 2 Couch chairs in front of the big window was good for watching the water. The bed was very comfortable. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The only negative is Parking. Parts of the Hotel.com web site & the Glengower web site indicated that free parking is available. However, the Hotel does not have parking itself. It is only free parking IF THERE ARE PARKS AVAILABLE on the street. On the Weekend and especially in Summer, it would be doubtful parks would be available.... So keep this in mind. There is a Pay & Display car park about 5mins walk away.

Its a wonderful place, second stay and would certainly stay again, right on the front towards the end of the seafront. Breakfast is simple stunning, one of the best I have ever had, and super quick. Bar area is lovely as are the benches outside looking out over the sea. Was in Room 10 this time, much smaller than my previous room 17 (see photo), in fact I felt it a bit cramped and would certainly ask for a different larger room in the future when I return to Aber.

What a stunning hotel, right on the seafront with far reaching views. Excellent room, everything up to date and looks very new, could not fault. Downstairs bar area is just lovely epically the bar and open fire. Breakfast was super quick and high standard. We had Sunday lunch which was great value and lovely. But some odd service at lunch time with waitress questioning my 18 daughter about ID while having a drink with her meal in an aggressive manor was the only downside. Better custom training might be needed. Parking was a pain as had to move car several times over weekend.

Lovely well-positioned hotel on the sea front. Friendly staff and good choice of food for breakfast which was cooked to order. Had an evening meal too which was also very good. Downside is there is no lift so climbing up to the second floor was an effort (we are in our 70's) but we did know this before we arrived so can't complain.

I had a lovely stay at The Glengower. It is situated right by the beach and the views are stunning. The room was very clean and comfortable. Cooked breakfast was amazing, the rest was adequate but minimal. The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. I had an evening meal which I couldn’t fault. Will definitely stay again.

The Glengower was nearly perfect in every way. I say “nearly” because total perfection is elusive. The property absolutely gleams. The decor is spot on—antique photos and maps abound. The staff is gracious and professional: Daniel and Liv, who we saw the most often, are standouts.

I had a really lovely stay, my room was small but tastefully decorated. There were a few marks on the wall that could do with touching up. The tea tray was good quality as was the breakfast. The best thing about this hotel it the staff who were all fabulous. Be careful of the parking as its only 4 hours on the front so best park at the back if possible.

The breakfast was fantastic and the server couldn't be more helpful. Would definitely recommend and hopefully return. The view from our room window was amazing.

We were so impressed with the staff and their attitude to their work. They were friendly, happy, polite and attentive. The room and en suite were very clean, the shower was great. We'd definitely stay there again and would recommend it highly. The only fly in the ointment was our mattress. The springs were uncomfortable, not enough to stop me sleeping but made a noise when we turned over, or got in and out.

We enjoyed our stay and staff were excellent. Arriving on a Saturday, however, meant parking wasn't as easy as it should have been as it is along the seafront and very busy. Internal doors are noisy also which meant a less than restful night after a 7 hour drive. Breakfasts were good with vegetarian options and we had a nice dinner there on Sunday. Easy walking to the shops in town and other dining options. We would stay again but request a room in a quieter part of the building.

The Glengower is excellently situated, right on the promenade/beach. It offered a full hot breakfast and the pub itself offers a large and sophisticated menu. Everything we tried over the 3 days we were there was excellent. The parking may be a bit if a problem as the promenade road is very narrow but we found a good spot in the end. The room we had was comfortable tho a little tight.. the staff and service was excellent. We unfortunately did not have a sea view, but I will definitely suggest getting one as the view is excellent.

Check in was simple and everything explained well,hotel itself was very clean with lovely decor.Our room 22 was on the front overlooking the sea very spacious very clean and loved the table and chairs in the bay window to relax and look out!!.We ate at the hotel in the evening and again it turned out to be another excellent experience lovely food lovely staff! Had breakfast in the morning and again an excellent breakfast would highly recommend the Glengower you won’t be disappointed.A quick mention about parking there is free parking out front and back on the roads if you can find a space out the back there is no time limit but on the front it’s free for 4 hours if I remember correctly and that’s up until 6pm!! So if you catch it right you can park at 2 pm and your fine right through until the morning

Fabulous! A truly relaxing home from home, with friendly and professional staff. We appreciated the quiet of our room ( we didn’t hear other guests), it's draftproofed sash window with view over the seashore, along with a comfortable bed and sufficient space in the room to be at ease. We really enjoyed the warm, cosy and relaxed atmosphere downstairs , the character of the place and tasteful interiors, and last, but not least, the delightful christmas tree in the dining area! And both breakfast and dinner were very tasty.

The food for dinner and breakfast were great. Parking behind the hotel was easy. The area around the hotel is starting to improve with not a lot of dining options. We had high tide and strong winds so the waves were crashing during the evening which was exciting. The room was spacious and the bathroom was good.

We were “welcomed” by a waitress whose attitude ranged somewhere between laziness and open disdain. When we asked if we could have dinner, she said she could ask if there was a table available, and in the meantime we could sit at one of the bar tables. We politely agreed. What followed was over thirty minutes of watching her wander aimlessly, gossip with colleagues, and do anything but her job. Not once did she come over to give us an update. The only acknowledgment we got were occasional smug, condescending smiles — as if we were some sort of nuisance for daring to be there. When I finally asked if there were no tables, she casually admitted she hadn’t even bothered to check. Only then, after wasting half an hour of our evening, did she suggest she could “go and ask now.” The hotel side was no better: faulty lamps, only one towel, mattresses caving in so badly you roll into the middle, and the constant roar of a kitchen ventilation unit right below our room, ensuring we couldn’t sleep before late at night or after dawn. This place is a masterclass in how to fail at hospitality.

But some odd service at lunch time with waitress questioning my 18 daughter about ID while having a drink with her meal in an aggressive manor was the only downside. Better custom training might be needed. Parking was a pain as had to move car several times over weekend.

Location
Prime seafront position with easy walking to town, the promenade and transport, plus great ocean views. Some note occasional noise from outdoor seating or waves, but many found it generally quiet.

We enjoyed our stay and staff were excellent. Arriving on a Saturday, however, meant parking wasn't as easy as it should have been as it is along the seafront and very busy. Internal doors are noisy also which meant a less than restful night after a 7 hour drive. Breakfasts were good with vegetarian options and we had a nice dinner there on Sunday. Easy walking to the shops in town and other dining options. We would stay again but request a room in a quieter part of the building.

The Glengower is excellently situated, right on the promenade/beach. It offered a full hot breakfast and the pub itself offers a large and sophisticated menu. Everything we tried over the 3 days we were there was excellent. The parking may be a bit if a problem as the promenade road is very narrow but we found a good spot in the end. The room we had was comfortable tho a little tight.. the staff and service was excellent. We unfortunately did not have a sea view, but I will definitely suggest getting one as the view is excellent.

Dining
Food is a strong point, with many praising dinners and cooked-to-order breakfasts at the on-site pub restaurant. Some guests found continental or vegan breakfast options limited, and a few felt breakfast portions were basic.

I had a lovely stay at The Glengower. It is situated right by the beach and the views are stunning. The room was very clean and comfortable. Cooked breakfast was amazing, the rest was adequate but minimal. The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. I had an evening meal which I couldn’t fault. Will definitely stay again.

This Hotel was a great find!! Check in was simple and everything explained well,hotel itself was very clean with lovely decor.Our room 22 was on the front overlooking the sea very spacious very clean and loved the table and chairs in the bay window to relax and look out!!.We ate at the hotel in the evening and again it turned out to be another excellent experience lovely food lovely staff! Had breakfast in the morning and again an excellent breakfast would highly recommend the Glengower you won’t be disappointed.A quick mention about parking there is free parking out front and back on the roads if you can find a space out the back there is no time limit but on the front it’s free for 4 hours if I remember correctly and that’s up until 6pm!! So if you catch it right you can park at 2 pm and your fine right through until the morning

Fabulous! A truly relaxing home from home, with friendly and professional staff. We appreciated the quiet of our room ( we didn’t hear other guests), it's draftproofed sash window with view over the seashore, along with a comfortable bed and sufficient space in the room to be at ease. We really enjoyed the warm, cosy and relaxed atmosphere downstairs , the character of the place and tasteful interiors, and last, but not least, the delightful christmas tree in the dining area! And both breakfast and dinner were very tasty.

Lovely clean and comfortable hotel and room. Breakfast could be improved - as a vegan there was plant milk when asked but with a focus very much on a cooked breakfast, the continental breakfast options could have been improved - cereals were boxed and limited pastries. Plant based yogurt would also be a welcome addition.

Bed was pretty rubbish half the mattress was lop sided so you had to sleep on only one side which wasnt damaged and the shower was awful, you either got scolded or was freezing cold. i did message hotel before writing this review as i thought they would have the decency to reply to acknowledge me but clearly not. The staff in restaurant though and food was pretty good and overall the hotel was nice enough. Take ear plugs though as you hear doors bang alot too
