Travelodge Cardiff Airport

I needed an inexpensive overnight stay prior to an early flight from Cardiff airport the next morning. It served my purposes perfectly.

Stayed here from the 10th-13th Excellent stay quite comfortable. The room was spotless and the staff were so friendly, nothing was to much trouble. Highly recommended we will stay again.

very hot room and smelly due to toilet blockage and no shampoo for shower, break option was not available and even the recption did not recommend.

The reason it’s a 2 start not a 1 star is because of the staff. The guy on reception was great. He sorted my problem - he came on the room and picked up the litter left by the last guests. But, it’s a very basic hotel. Bottom of the barrel stuff. The hotel floor is cleaned by “robotic cleaners”. Unfortunately, this meant there were grapes left on the floor upon my checking in as the technology couldn’t cope with that. When I reported this to reception the guy did come into the room and pick these up for me. But, it’s also a very dated room. There’s no aircon. Not ideal for a 27 degree day. The window was wide open. There were moths on the wall in the bathroom. The key to access the room was an old fashion twist key. It’s all very dated. Don’t stay here if you have expectations of a modern clean place. Unfortunately the old holiday inn, which was a far better property for hotel stays, is now leased out to the government to house illegal immigrants. The travel lodge is in a good location and has potential. But it badly needs updating. If Travelodge wants to compete with premier inns and holiday inn they need to update sites such as this. They’re miles behind those franchises and I wouldn’t stay here again out of choice.

Stayed at Travelodge to be close to friends. Best value place to stay. Would recommend this hotel to anybody that needs this area for accommodation.

The staff make the stay here lovely. The rooms are basic (e.g no usb slots) but clean and fresh and well maintained. An ideal spot for the airport, trips to Barry Island and Llantwit Major.
