The Angel Hotel
Staff were exceptionally warm and kind, the hotel is brightly lit but in warmer colours than more modern hotels which was easier on my eyes personally. Beautiful hotel directly across from the castle and at the edge of the arcades and shopping area, perfect for tourists

The staff were so friendly and helpful on arrival. They helped with check in and were knowledgeable! They had also gone the extra mile for my daughter who was celebrating a birthday; adding a not, balloons, and gift. Honestly it was such a lovely surprise!
