Celtic International Hotel Cardiff Airport

Easy parking. Great staff.

Hotel name sign fairly small and easily missed in the dark.

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!

The staff were super, the evening meal & breakfast offerings were fine, the bar had something for all tastes and I was pleasantly surprised that there was a games room with a pool table etc. The room was okay, certainly acceptable for the price. The window, however, didnt close properly and led to a cool room overnight, but the duvet & blanket kept me warm. The main car park is a little smaller than one would imagine, but there is a second car park that had plenty of room. The view out of the back isnt great and could do with tidying, but its an overnight stop & not a place holiday let!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice room. But lack of a lift not great. Nice continental breakfast and available early in the morning is a bonus. Would be great if there was a laundry onsite.

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.

Although the hotel is a little dated and needs a bit of modernisation, I would recommend a stay as the staff a very welcoming and helpful, parking is convenient, there are decent dining options and it is very close and convenient to the Airport which is a great start to your holiday.

The staff are welcoming and courteous. Rooms are comfortable and provide everything that is needed for a short stay. The property is clean and well maintained. Good hotel for a short stay that has everything needed. The restaurant food was good as was service. Good value for money hotel

Very busy restaurant with not enough staff.

Poor lighting outside

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.

Hotel was clean and welcoming. First impression in foyer is bright and modern. Room a little dated but personally I don’t care about that at all so long as it’s clean, which it was. I appreciated being able to open the window, a good shower with towels that actually fit around an adult, plenty tv channels and good supply of tea/coffee and biscuits. Sometimes thats just what you want when in a hotel for an evening! Staff were helpful and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend.

The hotel was spotlessly clean though the room on our return journey needed updating. The bed on our first stay was very comfortable.

The property was spotlessly clean and the staff were pleasant and helpful. My only criticism is that the bread in the sandwiches was the cheap,chewy, sliced bread you find at supermarkets.

Clean and good location, staff attentive and good breakdast

Staff , clean room enjoyed our stay would come back

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

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

I booked the 2 rooms almost a year in advance for a concert we were attending in Cardiff. Staff were nice enough and helpful but the rooms were a horror show - filthy and stank of damp/something awful

Lovely hotel, family room was clean and spacious, although there was only 1 double socket in the room being used for the TV and kettle. Luckily I took an extension lead otherwise we wouldn't have been able to charge our phones (I know, 1st world problems!) Restaurant was lovely, cooked and continental breakfast had everything you need. Overall fantastic stay.

Rooms very basic. One double socket in the room none near the bed. Very basic mattress, quite uncomfortable.

The staff were great, they swapped my room for one on the ground floor as I have difficulty with stairs and the hotel doesn't have a lift. The bathroom extraction wasn't working and the room wasn't air conditioned. There was only a basic chair to sit on. Everything else was good.

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.

Friendly staff, easy check in. Clean rooms. Hot shower with good pressure. Good in-room wifi. As advertised, and got what we paid for.

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. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed the fact that it was so close to the airport. The shower head came off once water pressure was applied. And the beds were very uncomfortable. I think it’s time for a new mattress. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good and you had lots of options.

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

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

Comfortable and spacious room.

Would definitley stay again if passing through Barry - 10 mins by car to Barry Island but had a real countryside feel.

We were greeted by the assistant manager on the desk and she was very helpful and very welcoming and even called us to find out if our room was okay, we had never had this and was a lovely touch! Great last minute stay.

Excellent staff

The hotel was perfectly adequate for our requirements, as an overnight stay for a big gig at the Principality Stadium. Our main concern was that the hotel appeared under-staffed. The staff we met were as helpful as they could be, but were trying to manage reception and the bar at a busy check-in time.

Staff and all round service was of very high standard and definitely be returning..

Room was spacious and clean the staff was friendly especially Sandy who went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely stay

It met our needs for a hotel near the airport Staff were very helpful and friendly

Staff were extremely helpful

Although the hotel is a little dated and needs a bit of modernisation, I would recommend a stay as the staff a very welcoming and helpful, parking is convenient, there are decent dining options and it is very close and convenient to the Airport which is a great start to your holiday.

Staff were very friendly. We had an issue with our bed which was acted on immediately. Perfect base for visiting other parts of Wales.

This was my 4th stay at this hotel. I can honestly say that the staff are so friendly and welcoming. From reception staff to bar staff. Thank you so much for another great stay🙏👍

Nice and close to the airport

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

Clean comfortable room, friendly staff.....the evening meal and breakfast we had was delicious and value for money. Really close to airport, would not hesitate to stay there again.

I was surprised at how far the hotel was from the airport, I had assumed that I could walk in rather than have to take a taxi. The hotel itself was fine

Location is great, not long from the airport. Food here is amazing. The only problem we had was on Expedia it states about a free bus shuttle from the hotel to the airport, this is no longer available and was informed by reception that it hasn't been a thing since beginning of covid so Expedia need to update this. Also normal busses from Cardiff airport do not go to the hotel anymore, you can catch a bus from the hotel across the road but not from the airport to the hotel. The busses drop you off by the now closed holiday express but have to walk over a long stretch of grass which is right next to the main road with no pavement.. this isn't convenient especially if it's raining and you've got 2 big suitcases, which was exactly our situation. Luckily a taxi driver saw us and gave us a lift for free to the hotel. Other than this it's a great place to stay and in my opinion not really expensive to say it's very close to the airport.

It met our needs for a hotel near the airport Staff were very helpful and friendly

Close to Cardiff airport - 5 min by taxi. Restaurant has good food at reasonable price. Bus service to Cardiff. We stayed there when we arrived in Cardiff plus when we departed. Property is well kept and rooms were 3 star as reported. All good for a one night stay.

Stayed as had an early flight location was great rooms are a bit dated but didn’t mind as location to the airport was more important. Hotel was clean and had evening meal in the restaurant which was lovely.Would definitly stay again

Friendly staff and very helpful with arranging transportation. Located on a very busy road with no sidewalks. Shrub lined highway made a taxi necessary for the otherwise 15 min walk to the airport. a good spot for use with the airport , otherwise quite isolated from anything else.

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

Clean comfortable room, friendly staff.....the evening meal and breakfast we had was delicious and value for money. Really close to airport, would not hesitate to stay there again.

Lovely big room lovely staff lovely breakfast will definitely stay here again

Lovely night stay, room was comfy and spacious. The staff were brilliant friendly and polite, I had the best chicken wings I've ever had the main and dessert were average but fairly priced, would definitely stay again.

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

Overall ideal stop over for the airport. The shower was slow pressure but hot. Food was excellent in the bar restaurant . We were up and away before breakfast but you could buy a breakfast bag to take away. The room was clean and the bed was ok. Overall the stay was good and I would gladly stay again.

Excellent staff and dining! Thank you!

Very convenient. Good food and very pleasant staff.

This property is not within easy walking distance of the airport. When I asked if it was safe to walk it, staff said yes. The road is very busy and has no sidewalks, no it isn't safe. First room overlooked the street, very noisy, so we were moved to the back. Bed was an old spring mattress, very uncomfortable. Decor was tired. Staff missed our wakeup call. Dinner was slow and burgers overcooked. Another guest I overheard complained of moldy bread. I can't recommend this property.
