Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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.
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.
the lady on reception was incredibly helpful but the room was a little tired, although very clean.

Not for us!
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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.
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
