Wouldnt recommened anybody going there
Pros:

The location was fine

Cons:

The staff wasn't warm welcoming as stated in previous reviews, we was turned away because we was an hour early and bascially told to go away and come back at 2.30pm when check in was at 2pm the rooms had a dirty musty smell and kids didnt feel well the next day when woke up, the side of the sink and toilet was stained. The springs in the mattress digged in you so you then woke up with a bad back, the breakfast wasn't worth the money and the cutlery and bowls had marks on them. We have been to better hotels which have better value for money and comfortable and they have been half the price.

Ideal location for Cardiff airport .
Pros:

Location to airport . Friendly night staff . Comfortable bed and pillows. Spotlessly clean bedding and lovely fluffy towels .

Cons:

The carpet was badly stained. The sink plug was missing and there was a gapping hole . Could have asked for another room but it was a quick over night pit stop

Pros:

The staff in the bar were absolutely lovely. So friendly could not fault them. The food was also very nice at dinner time. Location good. Close to Barry which is where we were heading.

Cons:

The room was very dated and quite dirty ( stains on walls, doors , skirtings rotten, silverfish in the bathroom) the shelf fell down in the bathroom when things placed on it. Carpets burnt and stained. Beds stained. Loud banging until late and then from 3am ( i think we were above the kitchen) beds super uncomfortable. Only 2 plug sockets in a family room and one was for the TV. Curtains dont fit. I suppose you get what you pay for and it was cheap

Lovely hotel
Pros:

Lovely hotel, great location for the airport. The staff were very friendly.

Cons:

The only downside would be that there wasn't a lift so we had to carry heavy cases up the stairs but it wasn't a big problem
