Stayed for one night in twin-bedded room at £189 for the night during Ashes Test. Room booked by company, so had no influence in choice of hotel. Very disappointed with tired, shabby, appearance. Room very small, overlooking car park. Bathroom needed total refurbishment, loose tiles on floor, flaking plaster on ceiling, etc. Only good point was that the beds were... more

Went to Cardiff for the test match and this hotel was at least available . I now know why as it has the air of hotels in regional Britain of about the 1980s . This was probably about the last time that the room I was in had a coat of paint . In addition two light fittings did not... more

Hello, Many thanks for your comments. I am disappointed to read that you had a poor experience during your stay. We are currently awaiting refurbishment on a small number of bedrooms that require maintenance. With the exception of the particular room you stayed in we do have a lot to offer in terms of customer service and modernised accommodations. If...

I had previously heard this hotel was grotty and not nice. I had a spacious, clean, modern and comfy room. Bed was very comfy, good air con. Big, clean bathroom. The hotel staff were really nice and accommodating, which I don't usually find in hotels! There is a fabulous entrance hall and communal areas are very nice. The food was... more

Loved it!

We stayed here for 2 nights very recently and I must admit to feeling a little eek after reading the reviews but I was pleasently surprised but how nice the hotel was, how kind and helpful the staff were and how enjoyable my stay was. Yes our room was a little on the smaller side but what exactly do you... more

First impressions a bit off putting, carpark at the rear is poor and a bit of a slog getting the suitcase up the steps. Long creaking corridor and faded room with water stains down one wall. View of castle from my room probably one of the best, and not easy to see through small sash window, so a bit disappointing.... more

Hotel far exceeded my expectations. I usually stay in B&B's to save money and because they offer more character. But, I was late booking and reasonable B&B's were booked. The Angel Hotel has large rooms, is very clean and bathroom was in very good condition. The room was very comfortable. The location is fabulous - right across from the castle.... more

Best location for a hotel in Cardiff - you can walk to shops, bars, restaurants, clubs, train station in minutes. Millenium Stadium is 2 minutes away. Hotel lobby is very grand with sweeping staircase. Corridors a bit dated - rooms in the process of being updated. My room was very comfortable - nice Sony Bravia flatscreen TV with freeview channels.... more

We booked the Angel despite only living around 30 minutes away so we could relax and have a drink in Cardiff when we went to see Oasis. The cost of the room was £170 which I had been advised was taken in December when I booked it on line, but when we checked in we were advised they would charge... more

Hello, Many thanks for your review. I appreciated the chance to talk to you on the night to receive your feedback as without this we are unable to tackle issues that arise. After investigation the noise came from a Music Party across the road in Bute Park and not the night club as first thought. This we have been told...

This is a perfectly servicable hotel, its not really what you expect of a four star hotel, travelodges however are perfectly servicable and are a damn sight cheaper. I was staying with my wife and 6 month old daughter. My wife was on a hen weeked whilst I was looking after my daughter. The Hotel - The main selling point... more

The location is amazing - directly opposite the castle and sightseeing bus tour stop - as well as being close too the shopping and restaurant area. Also a 3 min walk to the water taxi that can take you up the river to Mermaid quay. The location is easily the best thing about this hotel. The hotel itself...well - its... more
