Our third stay here. Breakfast was disappointing this time - overcooked food, making it dry and not very nice. Staff were friendly and welcoming but often slow service in the bar area. Comfortable and clean but could do with a refresh.

The Angel Hotel in Cardiff is a wonderful place to stay. Its central location, right by Cardiff Castle and the Principality Stadium, makes it perfect for exploring the city. The historic building has real charm, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, and overall the hotel offers great value. I’d happily stay again.

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.
