We availed ourselves of the Stay and Park facility which was very good value. The meals were of limited choice and basic, not quite up to other Holiday Inn Express standards
The booking in procedure also appeared to take much longer than at other Holiday Inn Expresses.
The hotel itself along with its rooms were bright and clean with comfortable beds.
The complimentary breakfast was very good value even though it was classed as continental. Sausages , Scrambled Eggs , Hash Browns and Beans were readily available along with Breads, Yoghurts and Fruits etc.
The courtesy bus stopped at the hotel entrance and dropped us off at the Departure Terminal.
We had a choice of taking the Hotel's own Mini Bus or the Bus that toured the Airport Hotels. The Hotel's own bus however dropped you off and picked you up in the car park of the airport. Both services however are complimentary

The hotel room, facilities and breakfast was great. Had a travel cot and high chair available. Took us a while to work out the room heating system and the TV channels plus the door key card didn't work a few times. Also, one of our child's toys disappeared from our room and I didn't find the staff helpful at all, unfortunately I am left with the conclusion that someone took the toy from the room. The staff at the desk and the bar were moody, glum and not very warm or helpful. When checking out the man didn't even look at us or say goodbye.

Ok quick review on this one.

Have been here twice - first time there was no restaurant, now there is - well a bit of the lounge divided off.

Minimal overpriced menu, usual airport hotel, pizza, chips and stuff - Im sure I ate there , but cant really remember the food.

Staff were helpfull, rooms as HExpress are, clean enough functional enough.

No free Wifi.

Transfer to airport in the morning as planned.

Good deal on the room and 8 nights parking.

Would use again.

The closest hotel for Cardiff Airport ! Clean Comfortable rooms
Main Lounge/Reception Resembles Airport Dept Lounge (no warmth or soul)
TIPS _Shop arround for Prices. Booking Direct doesnt seem to be best value !

Tr y and eat before Checking in ,Menu choice Limited ,food not great !
Transfer to Airport 10mins Mini Bus, Be aware!! Driver drops all passengers off at a lower car park some 200+yrds from main Airport Doors ,Be prepared to get wet if raining !! A bit of an uphill scramble!
