We had a lovely one night stay at the Angel - everything was perfect - friendly helpful staff, comfortable, super clean room with lovely toiletries and a great breakfast. The location is perfect too for all city centre amenities. We went to the New Theatre which was a 10min stroll away. We will definitely stay again when we are next in Cardiff

Hotel ideal for events at the stadium / castle.
Window didn’t shut in the room so very noisy overnight. We were given a free breakfast to compensate but would have preferred a proper sleep.
