The staff was very friendly and tried to meet our needs. They even helped us out by taken out an old portable air conditioner.
Breakfast was good, you get a choice of continental only or add on for a cooked full English breakfast.
Unfortunately the heatwave was too much. Without AC, we couldn't stay for 2 nights as planned.
The place was dated and needed a make over. However, if you're here for a quick stopover, it works. Just not during a heatwave.

I was disappointed, it felt like I was stepping back into the 1970s, with a scruffy room, paint on windows from redecorating and damaged fittings in the bathroom. Roof panels were missing in the corridor and there was a feeling of the place being poorly maintained. I always strip my bed in the morning when staying in hotels - when I did this I found the duvet was in very poor condition, torn and falling apart. The bed was uncomfortable, with a feeling hat springs are broken. The continental breakfast was poor, he croissants were a few days old and stale and despite there being a coffee machine behind the bar, the only coffee available was instant, in a tin beside the hot water. I was in the bar in the evening, the seats were very worn out and uncomfortable, a number of the on-tap beers weren’t available and there were issues with taking card payments.

despite of the fact it is very close to airport, the road is near hotel temporarily closed and you with suitcases will have to walk from station 15-20 min on road without boardwalk. I looked in GPS and route 905 should bring ztrait to hotel, but road closed.
I had no sim to call taxi, but for 300 meters it would be strange

no elevator!!!
near road
outlets only usb type A

cons:
beds were ok, comphortable, with clean white sheets
they provided charger for one of my devices, usb type

not good value for price paid. Also the garbage bins in front of hotel and some room windows looked shoking.

they changed my room, without elevator and boardwalk you will have opportunity to exersise with your suitcase

the huge stains on the carpet.

suggestionfor
for such distance to airport theyshould provide a shuttle bus , about 1,5 km but you must order taksi for 10 &

I would book in Cardiff and take a bus or train strait to airport before flight
if seems close but bad infrastucture its less convinient than to take train from city

Everything was good including being able to get the bus right outside the hotel for the very short ride to the airport. I only stayed on Sunday evening and only the continental breakfast was available on Monday morning. Not important for me as I ate at the airport before my flight. I was in Room 102 and had no complaints except the mattress was not the best. I would definitely recommend the hotel for short term stays.

Arrived at 8.15pm on 13th July. Lady on front reception very helpful. We were allocated a room on the 2nd floor, which was right at the end of the corridor. Room was small and dated but was clean and freshly painted. The room was very hot and the window only opened very slightly for health and safety I presume. Had difficulty getting to sleep from the banging of doors and shouting in the corridor at
1.45 am when we had an early morning flight to catch.

We had a very pleasant stay at the Celtic International Hotel Cardiff Airport. The hotel is situated in a lovely countryside location with beautiful and scenic surroundings, which made the stay relaxing and enjoyable.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The overall atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and the hotel offered very good value for money.

Considering the location, cleanliness, and affordability, I would happily recommend this hotel to others, especially for travellers looking for a peaceful stay near Cardiff Airport.

On arrival the reception lady was lovely check in was easy & the hotel looks very nice from the outside.
Great first impression but when you get to the second floor can see it’s dated and half going through a refurbishment. When we got to our room it’s very evident it needs an update. Damp and musty smell, the bathroom was really old, wall papered ceilings and still lots of cracks! Lots of old sockets with blank plates but only 1 wall double plug socket to use (did have USB which was good and probably the only modern thing in the room) mattresses were very cheap and springy the bed bounced when you rolled over. The room & all linen was very white & clean. Felt like a big dent under the carpet in the floor next to the bed. We are not people to complain and it was a reasonable price for a family room so we just accepted ‘we get what we pay for’ for the room it served its purpose for us.
We visited the restaurant which was very calm and friendly, but unfortunately we did complain although the food looked lovely on arrival off colour scampi, pink chicken and cod which looked like it was from an Aldi box of fish. Worried of food poisoning unfortunately we did send the food back and eat elsewhere. The young lad working front of house was really good and kind with resolving the issue.
The staff were amazing and I think with a thorough refurbishment (not cheap cover up) this hotel will be amazing but have low expectations if you’re using while going through the refurbishment.

Cheap and cheerful come to mind. Closest to Cardiff Airport is big plus. They have a wonderful restaurant with very reasonable food and service (good thing as there is nothing else around.) Very modest rooms biggest draw back are the beds, they are a bit bouncy and the springs are noisy (need a trip to IKEA for an update). But for £62 you get what you pay for.

Nice little stop over.

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.

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!
