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.

Overall this was a great location directly across the street from Cardiff Castle. It was frantic because of the annual half-marathon attended by 29000 people (which we were not aware of at the time of booking) and the lifts were broken, but the front desk staff were extremely helpful. The room was large and everything worked as it should, but the rooms are showing their age a bit. They needed more staff at dinner but food was quite good.

1st room : no curtain for the window in bath room Changed to another small room, the lights close to the door and toilet and floor lamp are out of order. The room is dusty and noisy at night. I can’t have a good sleep for conservative three nights. But the location is good.

We have stayed before and it was shame that this time the lifts did not work and the car park was no longer accessible. However, the current listing did not mention either of these, so others would not be expecting these facilities. The room was mostly clean but there was a lot of dust and rubbish behind the radiators and TV. The shower while hot leaked and there was no pressure in the bathroom hot tap. While recycling is encouraged, it is mostly leave it on the desk, including the teabags. This just felt untidy. We paid for an upgrade and while the room was bigger, it would have been nice to have some water and maybe biscuits. The staff were friendly and helpful. Although, one afternoon at the bar there was no one to be found, so we went to another bar in town. The Angel is very central and is a lovely building with lots of history. However, the needs to be some attention to detail and cleaning in the out of view places. Breakfast was nice, with lots of choice.

Building was a bit tired and the elevators were not working at all while we were there. Even though there were only three flights of stairs the carpet makes it tiring to walk up. Room was relatively hot but keeping the bathroom door closed helped, as did the large fan in the room. There were only a couple of outlets by the desk to use. Bed was a bit saggy but tolerable. Very convenient location to the market with lots of food and drink options, and castle and park across the street. Breakfast buffet had lots of selection and was a great way to start the day.
