It has great character with a beautiful staircase and chandelier. It is being renovated and is in need of some updating. Staff was lovely. Parking referenced was closed, there is a convenient lot across the street but requires payment.

Location is great. Breakfast is very standard, but the quality of the products was not great and lacked variety. The step-free gate entrance was difficult to access, and we were unable to use it. Noise isolation is bad; you can hear other guests from the corridor at late hours, not ideal for our baby. I would not stay here again.

The Angel Hotel in Cardiff is a wonderful place to stay. Its central location, right by Cardiff Castle and the Principality Stadium, makes it perfect for exploring the city. The historic building has real charm, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, and overall the hotel offers great value. I’d happily stay again.

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
