This was our second stay at the angel hotel, both stays were great,The room was lovely and the bed was super comfy. The staff were very friendly.
Hotel looks very old, no parking, rooms are small. Only the lobby looks good. Lift is broken for months and not getting fixed anytime soon.
Small mirror in the room. Shower curtain was very close. Exhaust fan not working.
Reception staff were very good and they try their best to earn this extra star in the ratings. Restaurant staff attitude can be improved.
Read reviews before booking.
Location is good but hotel is not.

Good location in Cardiff. Clean room, excellent breakfast.
Would be happy to stay in this hotel again.
The shower gel and shampoo were in small bottles, which were slow to dispence.
I would take my own get and shampoo next time.

Quick friendly check in, clean room, the magic of the singing in the Angel on match day. The room whilst clean was tired eg rope on sash window broken, paper peeling from walls. No plugs near bedside table and remember to take plugs for phone chargers as no usb sockets. That being said, we enjoyed our stay and view from our room

Room needs some care and attention as quite dated. Staff very nice and helpful. Wonderful to have choir performing in hotel on match day. Breakfast was ok but little choice and very ordinary.
The room was clean but very old and dated, the hotel was in a poor state of disrepair with wallpaper peeling off, dirty curtains, stained carpets and walls. Very disappointed. Staff were friendly and welcoming
Staff were polite , hotel needs a refurb looks tired , heating did not work in the room , staff could not resolve .
Location great ,staff great ,place is just tired . Did not eat there so cannot offer an opinion.

The lifts being out of order was a pain & no central heating in the suite was disappointing.

Lovely warm welcome, friendly staff, great location and comfortable rooms
The room was very clean and comfortable although the hotel facilities were a bit dated - the lift wasn't working and my TV had poor reception. The staff were lovely and helpful.
