Family trip

We stayed for 2 nights at the angel hotel to see will Smith in concert at Cardiff castle. The hotel is in a great location, very central for everything and right opposite the castle. And only a 10 minute walk from Cardiff central station. The hotel is lovely, with a very grand entrance and lobby area with the iconic double staircase. The staff were really helpful and friendly. Our family room was huge! 2 separate bedrooms which was perfect. And a huge super kind comfy bed. We had breakfast both mornings at the hotel. It was really good value for money. Plenty of choice and great service in the restaurant. Overall excellent stay, we would definitely visit the hotel again 10/10

Scruffy with lovely staff

Great location next to Principality Stadium 2 mins from shops etc. Nice staff. The whole place is old and tired, definitely seen much better days. There's no air con but fans provided. No parking but Westgate BCP is 2 mins away (£30 ish overnight tho). The Beatles stayed here and maybe Oasis too.

Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and while there was a fan, was hard to get cool even with the windows open. Breakfast was very good. Ideally situated to get to many sites in the city.

The Angel Hotel next to the Arms Park and Castle.

Once I arrived at the Angel Hotel I was greeted by the lovely entrance way as can be seen in the photos. There is something lovely and grand about the hotel as you enter it. I was greeted in reception by a lovely young man (sorry forgot your name). He advised me that I had been put in an upgraded room and I also had breakfast as part of my package. The room was a little dated but the bed was comfy and I had plenty of room. Even with it being on the first floor virtually on the corner of 2 busy streets I didn't hear much traffic noise at all. Maybe because the fan was going all night as it was super hot and the room has no air con. However I did not let that spoil the stay. Breakfast was ok although I did have to wait for 5 minutes or so to be seated, as the two people on duty seemed to have taken a break or had a staff meeting as they both came back in together. Breakfast was hot and that was good. Then I left to come home.

Hotel was fine but in need of a bit of TLC and unfortunately the breakfast wasn’t really up to standard as everything apart from the beans was overcooked.
