Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Lifts weren't working. Room was cold all night as we had no central heating. The plug in heater wasn't adequate for the room size. There was no hot water in the evening so we had a cold shower. We were told there was parking available on site. There wasn't so we had to pay overnight parking fee of £36. Decor and facilities in the room were extremely old fashioned and in desperate need of a upgrade. All in all a terrible experience and I would not recommend

We have stayed at the Angel hotel several times but our room this time was amazing. It was a family room, very spacious, two large separate bedrooms with a communal seating area. It was very clean, beds were comfy & there were tea & coffee making facilities. Although the bathroom was clean it was a little bit run down in need of some tlc. Will definitely be requesting this room in future.

A lovely stay as usual. Had help getting my case to the room due to the lift not working, this was invaluable, i would have never managed on my own. Bed was comfortable, room was immaculate. Slight damp smell from the bathroom but other than that all perfect.

The room was clean and tidy. The staff were okay. The only gripe i had was the view from our room. We were in 107 and the view was far from spectacular. This must been due to the fact we booked through Expedia at a cheaper rate. Still that said we would go back. But only to a different room.
