Great location, clean and tidy. Hotel is a little dated but that made no difference to us. The room recycling rules are unfathomable. One point to note - we went on a walking tour which revealed the Angel is the most haunted building in Cardiff!

Room was clean and large. Great location for Cardiff and room had everything we needed for the stay. WiFi was also really solid and reliable. Some areas of hotel were dated but given the building is old this is understandable and is great in some ways as some of the character features are great, We had 2 incidents with key cards stopping working and 1 incident on final night with really loud inconsiderate people in room next door but staff were very quick and helpful in dealing with all incident and cannot be faulted.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
No working lift and had to walk up 6 flights of stairs. No soap or shampoo in room, couldn’t wash hands let alone use the shower. Asked for double bed and was told I had one but it was 2 singles “zip and locked” together so there was an uncomfortable ridge in the middle. Took my issues to manager in morning and had no apology, it was like playing tennis, she just batted each complaint back.
