Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Celtic International Hotel is valued for its exceptional convenience, especially for Cardiff Airport access, a mere minutes away, with some even finding it walkable. Guests appreciate the advantage of bus access right outside the hotel, providing a direct route to Barry and other destinations. Many guests enjoyed the food, in particular starters and deserts. Though some guests have noted that the hotel is a bit outdated, the availability of tea, coffee, and biscuits in the rooms is a frequently mentioned pleasant touch.

the hotel proved to be convenient with bus access right outside. mike, the bike, stood out as an really good staff member, we had some great talks and laughs. i appreciated that the bedding was changed during my two-night stay. the breakfast really was one of the best i've had at a hotel, such a treat to wake up to.
The room decor felt a little basic, but it was clean. I just wish there were more readily accessible plug points for charging devices.
