The Angel Hotel

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good
"We have stayed 3 nights at the Family Room. The cleaning lady is just very friendly but also keeping the room clean. The hotel is at great location, close to the Cardiff Castle and high street. The choice of breakfast buffet is decent except the coffee. However, it really needs some serious upkeep. The room has dampings, the radiator is not operational in one of the rooms, only one lift is operational during our visit."
