Caldey Island Cheap Holidays

Room as expected accept so hot! Hosts had left a fan and cold drinks and lollies to help, but it was difficult to sleep at 33 degrees in the room - much cooler in the corridors and 25 degrees outside. Good location - able to walk to city centre but unbearably hot in room!

This apartment had great space and really useful cooking facilities. A dishwasher and washing machine in such a small apartment were useful for a longer stay, although we didn't use the later for our 3 night break. It's really convenient for the City centre and even closer to the Millennium Stadium, although I bet prices for major events there are much higher. Cardiff is a great city and certainly cheaper than Lincoln where we live. Strongly recommend a visit.

Great location

The Lanelay hotel was ok, overall I wouldn’t say it was luxury for a number of reasons, we had a suite, however, based on similar visits to other hotels I expected the room to have better amenities, ie no mini fridge , no Nespresso machine ( I see these regularly in high quality hotels, no AC and very little surface space in the room due to a large wardrobe and 25% of the room taken up by a bath . I’d mark the room 4/10 for value and design. Blok restaurant was excellent , service , food selection and quality was very good - well done . The Spa was very disappointing , charging an extra £25 pp with restricted access to use an outside hot plunge pool was exploitive , the spa lacked adequate space to relax with only 8 beds in a hotel with far more guests was poor . Pool itself was good, small sauna and no steam room, it was ok but not at a level I’d class as luxury or high standard of facilities. I’d rate the spa 5/10 , it was very evident their focus was on selling day spas and revenue generation rather than giving hotel guests an experience that reflected the price they charge. Reception service was functional , however , I wouldn’t consider they saw guests as a priority . Breakfast wasn’t value for money, environment was good, gardens were open and service was good, however, ingredients , range and quality wasn’t at a level I have experienced in similar quality hotels , again service 8/10 , food 3/10 , for example no cold meats, granola bought in and list goes on

Lovely welcome from the check in staff very polite and helpful. Room lovely clean and comfortable. Bar and restaurant staff very polite and welcoming.had breakfast which was delicious lots of variety. Will definitely be booking to stay again.

Super friendly staff, especially Patrick. Close to the train station [10 min walk]. Was a cheap, simple and basic room. Air-con unit was leaking and the surrounding carpet was damp.

Breakfast was okay but I have to question the cleanliness given our room was dirty. Stains on the bed, dirty floors, dusty benchtops etc. no shower gel at all. No advice that a soccer match was on so we couldn’t check in until after 8 pm. Couldn’t park until after 8 pm. Staff were not available to give us proper advice on the night. There is no care for anyone staying there and I will never go there again.
