DAYS INN CARDIFF AIRPORT - Cardiff

It was cold inside the room, so I turned the heater ON. It kept making noise, similar to car-repairs (see others' review on this mysterious noise), intermittently. Took me a few hours to understand it was heater. From thereon, it was either-or choice, heat with noise or cold. The room was warm enough by then, so I turned in off. The hotel has peculiar […] smell, probably that of paint. The main light in the room was too dim. TV was ok, and so was food. The service was ok; I've asked for a wake-up call at 3:00 AM and the old lady at the reception desk did knock on the door. Not all rooms have phone. My room didn't have one. Also, when I checked in, the guy at the reception changed my room from 23 to 18 (don't know why, but room 18 didn't have phone, dim light, and also heater problems). The airport is 10 minutes walk and I was told the car parking guys next door make trips every half-an-hour. That wasn't correct; they do so every hour and they start at 4:00 AM and charge a pound (it's not complementary). I found that out when I was ready at 3:30. So, just settled for 10 minutes walk in partially snow-covered street. The car drivers seem to be aware of this situation, i.e., folks walking to the airport in the morning, and were nice in that they drove around as I walked in the street; there's no side-walk (it's footpath there in Britain) and that too isn't great shape or is non-existent till one gets really close to the airport.

Convenient to airport but not in good condition. Carpet in hall was taped at the seams. Room carpet was lumpy and nasty. Bed was so-so but linens were clean

Lovely surroundings, warm hospitable Reception/welcome desk staff who go the extra mile to help international guests find local transport arrangements and walking routes to the beach. Excellent PR . BUT: Breakfast staff were a start contrast from the dinner staff - like night and day. They could do with some Customer Relations skills development training […] aimed at (a) not to ambush guests as soon as they step inside dining room door with 'you room number'. allow guests sit down first. (b) Also need to smile and be cheerful. You are the first staff of the day and were cold and distant - not even a polite good morning was forthcoming. (c) pls enquire before clearing guests tables while guests are still at table. they seem rushed. Read more

After reading some of the reviews about the hotel we were not expecting too much, but were pleasantly surprised. The indian restaurant attached to the hotel was of very good quality - delicious food and good service. Our room was large, airy and pleasant with a very comfortable bed. The view was awful though onto parked cars, but we just drew the curtains. […] Excellent quality television and good reception. This is at least a 3* quality at a price that would be hard to find elsewhere. Read more

Cheap, cheerful and I have no complaints this hotel seemed to be getting alot of bad reviews but I thought it was everything you can expect from a budget hotel. Staff were friendly and answered all our questions Ameche accomodation was comfortable.

Excellent hotel if you want a driving holiday. Very close to Barry Island, but not a good base if you want to be near Cardiff city centre. Room was very clean and modern.

Apart from a few minor things that needed fixing in the room. And it was a bit far to the nearest shop. I enjoyed my stay and I was delighted with the service.

comfortable -not luxurious but clean with all that is to be expected .friendly smile on arrival.continental breakfast fine.like all chain hotels there are always little things like a squeaky bathroom door and a leaky shower head connection(room102) but as these minor details were reported i assume that they are now sorted.ALL hotels need to spend half […] an hour per room on a rota basis to ensure that things work as they should.

The hotel was easy to find and close to airport. Very large family room with comfortable beds. Very basic with no chairs to sit on in room. Plenty of tea, coffee and milk but no biscuits. No facility to purchase biscuits or chocolate to have with hot drink. Staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant clean but again breakfast very basic. Fine for one […] night stop over - no frills.
