The location... 'Ideal'. The price... 'Ideal'. First impressions... 'Ideal'. Lasting impressions... 'Yup'... 'Ideal'. From the moment my husband and I walked up the front steps, we were both amazed at the deal we had secured. The lobby and reception area had an air of respectability without being in any way 'pompous'. The staff were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble.... More

The Angel is a piece of Welsh history due to its rugby connection. It has lost its former glory and the room we had was a little worn but perfectly acceptable especially for the rate. We had a problem with temperature control which was dealt with. The bed was good enough, shower fine and breakfast very enjoyable. Staff were exceptionally... More

We visited Cardiff to see our grandsons who are in university there and chose the Angel Hotel for its central location. This hotel is in a very good position to allow one to walk to see the sights, especially with Cardiff Castle being almost opposite. (well worth a visit). On arrival at reception we were given a map of the... More

We booked in at the very last moment after we had decided to stay in Cardiff for an extra night. We stayed at the Holiday Inn the previous night. From the outside, entrance and the initial look of the place it looked very grand. The receptionists were polite but not overly friendly or chatty. We got the last twin room... More

This hotel beats the Marriott by having free Internet and decent service. Very small room with the bare basics, but central and comfortable enough. More

This hotel needs a refurb to keep its 4 star rating. Creeky corridor floors (3rd floor), noisy traffic from the single glazed windows and a toilet that struggles to flush is not what i would expect from a 4 star. Also we got back to the hotel on the second night at 11pm with the intention of having a drink... More

Breakfast is fab, even for a fussy non meat eater like my wife. Central location to all the main attractions. Short cab ride from the Bay area. All the staff we... More

Efficient but stand offish reception guy. Other staff more friendly when passing in corridor. Pleasant interior, potential to be made to look very grand. Extremely small room (no room for bags), however was clean, good sheets and matresses and nice bathroom facilities. The carpet was in desperate need of being changed in our room. Great location. I would go back. More
