Stayed for two nights with my mum. Had requested accessible room as mum is wheelchair bound. Had a lovely big room near to the lifts on the first floor which was great. Lift extremely narrow and small. Struggled to get wheelchair and attendant all in together and other lift out of order. Street access again by lift which was small and a faff with door openings but doable. The room was lovely, comfy beds and plenty of room. The mirror was too high when seated at the dressing table to use for make up etc, curtains extremely difficult to close, bathroom dated and could really do with an update, especially getting rid of shower curtains. Annoying not to have plugs next to beds. Breakfast was well run and delicious. Massive flaw was the parking. I had messaged in earlier in the year when I placed the booking and was told about parking at the rear for £15/night. When we arrived car park was blocked off as unknown to us work was being done. Called from outside and advised to park in stadium parking opposite. Cost us £44 for the two nights. Secure overnight which was reassuring but not what we were anticipating paying. Fab location to walk into centre. Road noise but didn’t bother me and expected it if light sleeper would need ear plugs. Also quite hot in room and not even warm weather, summer booking may be interesting! Overall very happy and suited us well for our trip but not the most accessible and parking a disappointment.

Excellent location
Stayed for 2 nights bed & breakfast. Hotel is ideally located for the city centre. Room was of decent size with a big bathroom. Breakfast was lovely, with plenty of choice. Unfortunately the car park was closed for building work, so we parked in the nearby multi storey using the provided promotion code for discounted rates. Would stay again.

A decent hotel, with a classic theme.
Excellent location for the city centre, the room was clean and had all the amenities one can expect from any hotel. Adequate for a weekend break, expect some residual noise, especially from a busy city as Cardiff is. Was a it surprised that, even though the menu advertised 24 hr room service, I was told there would be an hour wait before I could expect the kitchen to take an order. Overall a decent hotel, with a classic theme. Front desk provided good advice and were polite.

This property is in a great location, right in the middle of Cardiff. Although it’s an older style hotel, it was clean and comfortable. My room was huge and had everything I needed.

There's a lot to like about this old hotel. The hall and grand staircase is iconic. Felt like I was staying in a museum of how hotels used to be. The room really was showing its age though and the hotel is looking a bit knocked about these days, the car park is scaffolded off and its best not to look too close; but it was convenient, the room a good size, the shower worked great and I was very comfortable. Staff were excellent.

Loved that The Angel is opposite Principality Stadium. We also love and really appreciate the history of The Angel. Unfortunately, to maintain the history of this hotel, it really needs a major upgrade but not to the point that it looses it character and essence.
