"Lovely hotel, superb staff"

The staff at this hotel are excellent. Nothing is to much trouble and they go out of their way to chat and help. The breakfast is something to look forward to as well. Huge choice of cooked, continental and cereals. This is our second visit in six months and we can`t wait to come back again. Thank you.

"We loved it!"

So ok, the furniture was a bit dated in our room ( I like Art Deco ) and the wallpaper had seen better days, but we had a fab weekend here! It`s centrally located and a `proper` hotel. It`s grand scale and opulent stairway are beautiful. The carpets are so thick you sink into them. The whole hotel is spotless and the staff are both efficient and professional. Breakfast is amazing - great choice and great quality. We had such a lovely time and can`t wait to go back in March.

"nice stay"

had a lovely stay , staff very nice and helpful, rooms need a little updating and definatly need double glazing as the noise from the road did keep me awake but as we only stayed one night it wasn`t a big problem.would stay again if on a night out in Cardiff.

"room very basic, no double glazing , kept awake by the constant traffic noise."

smallest room we have ever stayed in , this is supposed to be one of the better hotels in Cardiff. we had a double bed pressed up against a wall with just enough room to walk around the bed on the other side, wallpaper peeling off. The bathroom floor was all cracked tiles and black around the grout in the wall tiles.

"OK for one night but no more - good position in town especially for Millenium Stadium"

This hotel is fine for one night but I wouldn`t stay for a long weekend. We were attending the speedway at the Stadium so was very convenient. However, our standard double room was below par - in need of redecoration, pokey, grey curtains, broken shower curtain etc. Food was really basic - so expensive for what it was. This weekend was busy in town for the speedway and the hotel was also hosting an event in the ballroom - not sure if they were stretched by this - but service was certainly poor. Alternatively, maybe it is always like this...

"Great location, friendly staff, good amenities"

Our room had a fantastic view over the castle. Although the lack of double glazing meant there was some late night noise it was no more than to be expected in the heart of a city. The location was superb, shopping, historical interests and the Millennium stadium were right on the doorstep. The hotel offered some car parking spaces on s first come, first served basis which cost us £10 for the weekend, however, should you not be able to park there are plenty of multistory car parks in easy walking distance. Friendly staff and a good breakfast. Would definitely book again when we next visit Cardiff.

"Good quality hotel in the heart of Cardiff city"

We stayed at this hotel about a year ago when it was part of the Barchello group. It is now owned by Puma and things haven`t noticable changed. I enjoyed the service and comfort location then and now

"Room dreadful,bathroom unacceptable probably last decorated in 1970!!! "

Room no 125. The closest room to busy road junction, with traffic all night,consequently no sleep for either myself or my wife. Broken tiles and missing grout in very dated bathroom,need to be contortionist to get round room. I suspect this room is allocated to booking agents like yourselves as Hotel can`t charge their normal rates! My wife complained to reception and was told remarks would be passed on. To whom we do not know.

"Poor response to telephone calls made to hotel"

Having vacated the hotel I realised that I had left my glasses in my room. I therefore contacted the hotel to ask if they had been found and they said that someone would call me to let me know. I have now made 3 calls and still waiting for someone to call me.

"What a lovely staff - they couldn`t have been more friendly or helpful. "

We really enjoyed our stay. I had my Wedding Reception at the Angel many years ago so it was lovely to return and see the beautiful foyer once again. We will probably be returning in the future as we have family living locally and enjoyed our stay so much we would like to repeat the experience. We visited the restaurant on several occasions and enjoyed wonderful food served by lovely people. Thank you all.

"Nice place and the staff is pleasant "

Requested a hair dryer and iron for room 127 when we arrived. It is now the next morning and we still do not have either. The head of the bed is down hill and the air con does not work very well

"Very Friendly staff, Comfortable Room"

Very pleased with the hotel and the friendly welcome. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good but not outstanding and was the only real let down to what was a great overnight stay

"Great hotel in the heart of Cardiff"

Enjoyed my stay in the Angel, it`s location really is ideal if your in Cardiff for an evening out or for the great shopping. The public areas of the hotel were great, the staff friendly and helpful and the bedroom was cleam,comfortable, nicely decorated and wqith plenty of room. I didn`t eat there in the evening but the breakfast wa sexcellent although fried eggs and a buffet service never seem to work well. My only gripe, and this is a very minor gripe, was the shower head neaded descaling as some of the holes were blocked.MInd you it would have been cheaper to go through their own website!

Good value for money and well positioned, although a little tired. No remote control in the room and didn`t appreciate being woken up at 8.30 by a lady with a clipboard!

"Desperately needs updating"

This hotel is on a busy road junction & part of the double glazing in our room was missing which made it very noisy-the hotel staff were indifferent when we told them about this!

"Good value, comfortable room, friendly staff. Excellent location."

Downside was that a lack of double glazing resulted in a lot of traffick noise from 4.00AM onwards.
