“Pleasant, Cheap, Convenient, not bad!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Considering its location, cost & look - this was not bad at all. Situated near Cardiff airport, with a good shuttle bus service within a few metres, this seems a no-brainer for the traveller wanting a absolute no frills stay. The staff were friendly enough, the rooms clean & tidy, the only thing that was poor was the showering facilities - water trickled out at a really un-usable rate. Not bad for the price we paid!

“Convenient for the airport”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

This cheap hotel, very close to the airport, offers exactly what one might expect: grubby interior, tired furniture, stained carpets, noisy rooms and poor service. But my bed was reasonably comfortable and the bathroom apparently clean. The TV did not work.

Despite the fact that the hotel is close to the airport, it is nevertheless too far and too inconvenient to reach by foot. If you don't have a car, the hotel offer car rides to the airport for a fee and there is a bus station in front of the hotel. A better option would be to try to sneak into one of the shuttle busses provided to the customers of the nearby long-term parking.

Back-facing rooms open to the large long-term parking that surrounds the hotel and which is brightly lit thorough the night. If you manage to sleep despite the flood of light filtering through the insufficient curtains, you will be waken up in the wee hours by the slamming doors of passengers catching an early flight. Front-facing rooms open to the street and the hotel's own parking. Pick your poison.

Avoid the suspicious-looking in-house pseudo-indian restaurant for dinner. If you have a car, try instead the Raj Kinara restaurant that is situated in the Rhoose trailer park.

“Never again”

From the outside thisnhotel looked a bit rough.....it was a lot rough. The bathroom was filthy, carpets were stained, the hallways stunk from food smells, matresses piled up in the car park. At £100 for a family room it was a joke.....we could not get out of there quick enough in the morning.

Room Tip: Don't stay

“A pleasant suprise”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011 via mobile

We purely stayed at this hotel because of the price. 22.95 a night, me and my boyfriend thought this was a Bargin. But we also read the reviews on trip adviser and were expecting a horrible place to stay in. We were expecting bed bugs and everything what other reviewers have said. But to a suprise the room was clean and fresh. We couldn't check in till about half 1-2ish. But this was fine. We got our bed made by the maids each morning and fresh towels. The bathroom however; a bit out dated. The door handle repetitively fell off which made locking the door impossible. Also, we didn't like the fact that the bathroom had two windows looking in on to the bedroom. This meant there was very little privacy in the room. The rest of the bathroom was outdated a lot. The sealant was coming off and discolouring a lot. The shower head was broken which meant very little water pressure. But was still useable. Other than those little hiccups, it was alright for a weekend stay.

“sky plaza + parking”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed in this hotel for 1 night prior to early flight with airport parking included. Reasonably priced but the hotel was very disappointing and certainly not the standard I expect from an airport hotel. The decor is very tired and grubby, carpets stained and frayed. The bed appeared reasonably clean, but the bathroom walls and paintwork were very dirty, and the flooring was sticky and unpleasant. I arrived late evening so did not try the resaurant and left without breakfast, but due to the general standard of the hotel I would not have been keen to try the food in any case.
This hotel would need a major upgrade to bring it up to the standard of a Travelodge or Premier Inn. I had tried to book Holday Inn express, where I had stayed before but it was full.
This hotel was not in the same league. I would not stay here again and would advise friends and family not to use it.
The parking and transfers were ok except for a mix up by the car park staff about my return date which meant that my car was not ready for collection and took about 30 minutes to retrieve from its slot. I would also mention that the transfer may not be suitable for elderly or less mobile people as there is a fair distance to walk from the bus stop to the terminal and steps to negotiate.
