adequate but in need of updating. A heavily water stained carpet leading to the rooms is just not good enough and rather uninviting. rip it out and put some nice laminate! so easy and a no brainer, really. the restaurant area just needs some updating but i would leave it unchanged. future revenue from using it as a movie set...

Stayed here for 1 night, the hotel is very dated, looking very poor compared to the celtic manor opposite. Room was ok and bed comfy, although there were hairs in the bath. No free wifi, unlike the Celtic monor. Dated and soulless bar/ restaurant. Food was ok, nothing special. Had to ask at reception where tea making facilities were, they... More

I stayed at this hotel over the weekend 24th/25th March this year. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Had an executive room, which was very spacious, very clean, lovely comfy bed and had air conditioning, which was very useful as the weather was rather warm. Stayed as was visiting friends in the area so did not eat in the restaurant,... More

I stayed at this hotel in December 2011 and had a resonable experience so decided to stay at this hotel rather than the Express at Coedernew (5 miles away). I left the hotel yesterday after two nights wishing that i had booked into the Premier Inn across the roundabout. The hotel is in need of investment but the service wasn't... More

I only choose this hotel because of its location. Just off the M4 and quick access along South Wales or over the bridge into Somerset. As I'm working in these two areas for the next couple of days makes its location ideal. Only pain is the bridge toll (£6). By accident booked a executive smoking room. Unfortunately the hotel had...

Likes - big room - comfortable bed Dislikes - miserable bar and restaurant whose centrepiece is a 1970's stone fireplace and with Oriental-influenced panelling. Dreadful place. - limited a la carte menu (I had steak, which was tough) - unexceptional buffet - no wireless internet, just a network cable… come on guys, this is no good for smartphones, iPads etc...

I'm beginning to think that Holiday Inn are past their sell by date. Its come to something when you would prefer to stay at the premium version of the chain i.e Express at Holday Inn, because the buildings are up to spec. ratheer than the theoretically more luxurious main hotels. This one is again dated, 1960's "Crossroads" style architecture with... More
