Celtic International Hotel Cardiff Airport

Close to the airport

I found the staff to be friendly and welcoming. However the accommodation is looking tired and needs updating. The bed was comfortable, and I had a good night's sleep.

Hotel was clean. Comfy beds. Staffwere very friendly and helpful. X

the lady on reception was incredibly helpful but the room was a little tired, although very clean.

On check in with 2 children, (13 & 10) told there was no WiFi in our room, everywhere else but not in our room! No apology, just matter of fact. Room had 3 beds for a family, but just 1 double socket in the room. Mattress seen better days, roll over and squeezing woke me up, could even hear the springs creaking as I was breathing! Good for a flight maybe, but nothing else.

Happy with our stay at the Celtic International. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. Small bar/restaurant which was quiet. Rooms varied, all clean but with a severe lack of plug sockets - 2 in the whole room and 1 was for the TV, none next to the beds so hard charging phones. Views were nice at the back though. There was a little common room with a pool table which we spent a good while in. We ordered some picky food bits and the garlic bread with cheese was absolutely delicious. Breakfast was 10/10 - food was delicious and the bacon was definitely locally sourced thick welsh bacon. Very impressed. Would definitley stay again if passing through Barry - 10 mins by car to Barry Island but had a real countryside feel.

The hotel is very conveniently situated close to Cardiff airport and Barry which was perfect for our overnight trip. The bathroom was clean and provided all the facilities we needed. The young girl training on the front desk was unenthusiastic and tried to advise us to park at the airport and walk back as there was no parking available on arrival! Thankfully, another lady came to assist and offered us additional parking around the side of the hotel premises - she couldn’t have been more helpful or kind to us! We booked two rooms and noticed a huge difference in the quality between them. The one room our party had was perfectly fine, the bed was comfortable and facilities wonderful! The other room we stayed in was room 200 and we unfortunately had the worst night’s sleep we’ve had in a long time. The mattress was like a deflated air bed and provided no support whatsoever. We got back very late due to a family function and at that point we were too late to swap rooms. I wish we would’ve sat on the bed before we headed out so we could’ve solved this but we didn’t realise how uncomfortable the bed was until we went to go to sleep. Our backs are in bits today as a result. There were stains on the carpet in the room, marks on the walls and the room was stifling hot even with a fan and the windows open. Like other reviewers have said, there are no plug sockets by the beds which wasn’t an issue for us but something to be aware of if it would impact your stay.

Hotel by farm , strong manure smell .

I wouldn’t say it’s a walkable distance from the airport, but it was quiet and clean.

Rooms are extremely tired You should expect a comfortable bed but mattress was awful and didnt even reach the bottom of the bedframe! Staff were very nice and deserve recognition for tha We had no sleep because of the uncomfortable bed

Unfortunately we didn't stay the night, we had to leave due to family circumstances. We had a lovely welcome at reception. The gentleman on duty was really helpful and supportive. The room was excellent, as was the view. Everything in the hotel was fresh and clean.

Breakfast was good, staff were great. Rooms a little small. Short walk from the airport - only half a mile, but there is no sidewalk.

Just a quick overnight trip and room was great for a solo traveller, bed was ok but mattress was getting a bit worn out and probably needs replacing, shower was great and enjoyed the coffee and biscuits, didn’t use any of the other hotels facilities

Very large room, excellent breakfast. Not busy at breakfast very relaxed!😁

This hotel was away from most things. You need to drive to go to a restaurant other than the one here. It's expensive too. We found a nice one reasonably priced down the street we drove to. Don't expect laundry facilities on site. One of the reasons if not the main one was to get my laundry done before I headed out. That statement is a lie. There is nothing here. I feel taken since I would have stayed somewhere else. They will take your laundry and for a fee send it out to be done. If I had that kind of money I would not be staying here. So it's OK. It's not a Hilton, maybe equal to an average hotel in the states. I wouldn't stay here again though. Seemed clean enough. Just being lied too in the advert seemed wrong to me and misleading. Lots of cars so I'd figure they don't care too much since they got your money. Wish I had a business like that. Except for I wouldn't lie. Cheers!

Good price but hotel needs a little updating bathroom needed a better clean

It wasn’t worth the price paid massively overpriced for a live concert night. Dated vibe about the place, magnetic key card not operating room door on several occasions. One plug socket, no air conditioning, limited toiletries, under staffed one person operating bar and reception desk.

Was perfect for one night for Oasis concert. Breakfast was lovely.

The staff were EXCEPTIONAL, but the hotel is dated and not amazing! Wasn’t cheap either. Bed wasn’t very comfortable

Hotel staff were friendly upon check in and the stairways etc looked well maintained. Unfortunately this is where it ended, the room I was in was so dated it makes a premier inn look 5 star. Rooms were VERY basic and run down. Bathroom was also very dated. The mattress on the bed was not very supportive, very bouncy and uneven. And was severely in need of an update. Also had no blackout blinds so this time of year the room was bright till late Thankfully the rooms were clean and staff friendly and helpful.
