Room was clean and large. Great location for Cardiff and room had everything we needed for the stay. WiFi was also really solid and reliable. Some areas of hotel were dated but given the building is old this is understandable and is great in some ways as some of the character features are great,
We had 2 incidents with key cards stopping working and 1 incident on final night with really loud inconsiderate people in room next door but staff were very quick and helpful in dealing with all incident and cannot be faulted.
Great stay at the Angel, really enjoyed my stay, The staff very helpful, nothing was to much for them, The room was fantastic, bathroom excellent, Can't say anymore, Hope to stay again in the future?
Spacious, clean and quiet staff were good. It was an on suite I would stay here again I would recommend it.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
No working lift and had to walk up 6 flights of stairs. No soap or shampoo in room, couldn’t wash hands let alone use the shower. Asked for double bed and was told I had one but it was 2 singles “zip and locked” together so there was an uncomfortable ridge in the middle. Took my issues to manager in morning and had no apology, it was like playing tennis, she just batted each complaint back.
Lifts not working. A lot of stairs to walk to get to room. My partner has a number of health issues. Room dated and not premium that I payed for. Pillows uncomfortable. Light fixings loose on wall. Funny smells throughout hotel. Pictures on site do not match what you get. No aircon in room just a fan. Will not stay again
