Fourth time past the charm! :))
As this is my fourth time to stay at The Angel Hotel Cardiff obviously I do like it and feel very welcomed and comfortable there. Staff is SO friendly and out of many hotels in UK in general it's just a proper hotel with properly sized rooms as seen worldwide (UK hotels usually are incredibly tiny) and very accommodating facilities!

Would Not Return
I was extremely disappointed with this stay. I had booked a room, which when we arrived I overheard was not available (due to some sort of service taking place). I felt we were then put in what I can only describe as a ‘backup room’. This was for my boyfriend’s birthday and so I wanted somewhere nice to stay. There was hardly any lighting in our room except a spotlight and 2 lamps. There was also no soap to wash our hands in the bathroom, 1 towel to shower with and mould in the bathroom on the ceiling. Overall, I wouldn’t be returning and wouldn’t particularly recommend to others

Overnight stay in Cardiff
Paid £39 for one night you get what you paid for in this joke of a hotel.
Booked in fine,went up to the room and no bed should have left there and then.Finally got a room which was clean and comfortable.Went to the bar for a drink whilst waiting for my taxi,no drinks on draught only cans or bottles.
I actually seen a couple with 2 pints going to there room from Wetherspoons down the street.Shocking.To cap it all of checked out at 11am and asked if they serving tea or coffee?Reply no.
Never again.

Excellent location.
Central location. Breakfast was good with plenty of options, lovely lobby. Showing some signs of age but expected. Check in was quick and easy, friendly staff. FYI their car park is undergoing refurbishment so we had to use the NCP on Westgate, but they have a discount price so make sure you get this from the front desk before paying for your parking.

Excellent location but tired rooms
Lovely, historic, centrally located hotel directly opposite Cardiff castle. Warm welcome, decent breakfast buffet, but rooms are a bit jaded - reflected in the very reasonable price we paid for a city centre hotel. Ancient heating system supplemented by free standing heater in room. Be aware theres no parking, and local options are very expensive - take the short walk from Sophia gardens where parking is much more reasonable.
