Booking easy, accommodation/evening meal/breakfast all excellent. Staff very helpful and a well conducted early move to the departure area that took three minutes. However, on return the move back to the hotel to collect our cars was not good at all. One mini bus that took max seven people each time, about 25 of us requiring a lift, it was cold and raining. The driver did his best, however, if you know the flight numbers and return times, why not have a better system???

Very clued up reception at Holiday Inn Express who advised me to park on properly surfaced area rather than loose gravel.

Hotel and staff excellent. The parking area we had to park was poorly managed. It had a lot of holes full of surface water and obstacles

The hotel itself was fine but the long stay car parking area was muddy, in poor condition and overgrown. Also breakfast is advertised from 4am but more clarity would help as a hot breakfast is not available until six o'clock, just a continental one from four.

mostly everything was fine. the value was exceptional for the stay and park option. unfortunately the breakfast was continental and we didn't get to have anything warm before we travelled. also, I returned home to a parking fine from the company who manage the car park. currently in dispute with them and not yet resolved. very silly considering I paid for parking in advance and was a customer at the hotel

We used the park stay and fly option with Holiday Inn Express at Cardiff Airport. The hotel was clean, the staff were outstanding. Only issue we had to wait for the shuttle bus as they had collected other passengers and then dropped passengers off whilst we were waiting

Booking was easy and quick, we had to telephone to confirm details re children's sleeping arrangements, the operator was extremely helpful. Arriving for our stay - booking in was simple and the receptionist was pleasant and informative. We are at the hotel during the evening. There was a good resonably priced, choice of meals. Our rooms were comfortable and clean. We requested a 3 a.m early morning call and was provided with a breakfast before our 4 a.m. departure. We were taken to the airport as a group by minibus, we loaded and unloaded our luggage etc ourselves on off . On our return we rang using the free phone to arrange pick up. A rather 'battered' mini bus picked us up. We had to wait for the minibus to do a run before it returned for us. I would recommend using this process for its ease of booking and the convenience of the facility. Deffinatly book the again.

Room was adequate. Eat in the bar food was good but service let the evening down. Short staffed and many of them trying to serve food,serve at the bar, clear tables and man the reception. Have stayed here many times and it's always the same. Transfer to the airport good but on return found car to be very dirty and cars are packed on gravel at the rear of the hotel. On return tryed ringing from the phone at Costa in the airport and not made easy due to many numbers in both English and Welsh. In the end gave up and rang direct from my mobile. Had to wait at least 15 mins although told them we were at the pick up point. It's a good job it wasn't raining it would have been quicket to walk back to hotel. This needs to be addressed as it's letting the service down badly. Would I stay again maybe not, will use an airport transfer service.

Our stay at the Holiday Inn at Cardiff Airport was excellent however the return arrangements failed miserably due to no one at reception answering the telephone, despite trying on 5 occasions, like others we walked from the terminal in the rain to collect our car.

Room was not very good, bad smell and could not control aircon. Parking was not secure, plus being disabled I could not park in disabled bay, car park was a load of gravel layer in there rear field, there were gaps in the fence plus no security barrier into car park. So I would not use this hotel again.

Excellent location, clean and pleasant hotel, friendly and helpful staff, convenient parking and very efficient shuttle service. The evening meal, however, was a huge disappointment. I ordered ribs, was surprised how quickly they were served and then discovered that they were cold. The waitress apologised, took them away and returned a few minutes later saying that I had a fresh meal. It was quite obvious that the plate was clean with fresh chips but that the ribs had been turned over and reheated.

No problems at all at the hotel. Stay, park and fly package is good value for money. Transport to and from the airport free of charge and the lovely driver Sian even put the cases in the car on return. Fab lady.

The room was fine and it was easy to park. Breakfast convenient. However despite being only a few minutes from airport we had to leave almost an hour earlier than necessary as they only have one vehicle for transfer that takes a maximum of 7 people and transfer slots fill up. This was the situation even when people with hand luggage only were walking to the airport - I’m sure they wouldn’t want to do that if it was raining. On the way home we didn’t want to hang around waiting for the transfer so took a taxi - at £5 worth it for us. So although the hotel couldn’t be any closer to the airport the transfer arrangements mean that time wise you MAY end up being no better off than if you had stayed further out, if the time slot you want to transfer at, and other ones close to it, have already been booked.

I booked and paid for the Holiday Inn Express at Cardiff Wales Airport for my son Christopher Evans.(AMONGST OTHER ISSUES) the room was extremely hot No Air Con as advertised, he and his partner have a two year old daughter and they hardly had any sleep. He complained to the manager regarding the whole experience and was told he would get full refund but would need to get this refund via Holidays Extras. I believe he has contacted you with the e:mails confirming this but as yet no response. I paid for this hotel with my card so refund is going to be back to my card. Please investigate this issue.
