My fourth visit since they opened and each time the standards have slipped a bit more. Certainly the staff are friendly enough and if all you want is somewhere to sleep before catching a flight from Cardiif Airport then its a safe enough bet. My issues on this trip were the broadband service - £12.45 for 24 hrs. On the... more

This really is a very convenient, consistently good hotel. There is nothing in the Barry area worth writing home about and parking at many hotels in Cardiff can be a nightmare. If you are flying in or out of Cardiff Airport or staying west of the city or in the Barry area, this is a good and cheap venue. It... more

We booked this hotel by mistake, intending to stay closer to Cardiff as we were there primarily for the Rugby. This hotel met my expectations as to what a Holiday Inn should be like. The distance from Cardiff Central wasn't a problem as we had a vehicle and on game day buses collected us from our hotel and bought us... more

Superb value for a couple of nights when in Cardiff for the World Cup Rugby in the Millenium Stadium. Although this hotel is 11km from the city centre the hotel staff lay on local transport, in this case mini buses, every 30 mins at £5 a head - cheaper than doing it yourself on public transport. The hotel itself was... more

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at Cardiff Airport as we had an early flight the following morning. We booked a week's parking at Airparks (5 mns up road) and a night at the Holiday Inn for £90. Bargain! We also found out that you can park at the Holiday Inn Express but you need to arrange that when... more

I have to visit Cardiff quite often with my work. The top hotels in Cardiff city centre are of very good quality, but are very pricey. The cheaper hotels are a bit so-so, and parking can be a problem. The Express by Holiday Inn at Cardiff Wales Airport is a new, clean, well presented hotel, at a very reasonable price.... more

we've stayed in a lot of hotels recently and a lot of holiday inns. this is quite simply the best yet. ok the rooms are rooms and the breakfast is breakfast but what makes this place special is the staff. every one of them was helpful, pleasant and cheerful and nothing was too much trouble. the rooms are a bit... more

Cant say that the short say was bad the only grumble i can think of is the fact that you cant open the windows in your bedroom. After all it is at the side of the airport. Would have been better had you been able to open the window. more

On getting to my room after checking in, I saw white stains on the blanket. It took two calls to reception to get the blanket changed. Breakfast is good value but I noticed that the milk machine was dusty and its nozzle was lightly caked with old milk. The yoghurts were warm but, on being told, a waiter assured me... more
