Hotels in Roath, Cardiff

"I enjoyed my time at The Angel Hotel, Cardiff. I agree with other people's comments that there is a musty smell when you walk in and you can hear people in the next room but the staff were brilliant. Joey on reception, Anton and the other chap in the bar and the lady housekeeper on my floor, were very accommodating, kind and helpful. The hotel is old and has character but could do with a refresh. It is not far from the centre but within walking distance of all the sites. I thought the food was good and the drinks were reasonably priced compared to a local bar round the corner. Had no probs with the wifi and no probs checking in a bit early. "

"I’ve stayed here a couple of times as location is super convenient next to train station and price is good but it’s really tired and rooms nearly always have issues. This time the curtain rail came off as I tried to draw the curtain. There was obviously a laundry room close by as all I could hear was the washing machine spinning all night and the bedding is really not very comfortable. I will stay again but it’s really nothing special. "

"This is a mammoth complex, not something I really understood at the time of booking. Upon arrival we discovered expensive parking fees which were not included in the booking. We had received an email before arrival advising us to book restaurants but didn’t realise this would mean we would not be able to get a booking at a reasonable time on the day. When we are away we like to see how we feel on the day but this does not work here, we didn’t go to the spa as again this needed to be booked in advance, all of this is via the hotel site. We visited the cellar bar which was like a pub , there was one inexperienced staff member alone there and we waited over 10minutes for her to try to get the previous person a receipt, she then served us two drinks and told us no cash and when we pointed out she was overcharging us accordingly to the bar tariff she just said sorry that’s wrong and we paid the higher price. As I said this hotel did not suit us but I must say it is a very nice hotel with beautiful rooms and for an organised couple then it would be great I’m sure and I must say the meals we received in room service was exceptional.

"Yes perfect "

"Really good value for money breakfast"

"To start with, the staff were absolutely lovely. In particular the receptionist (I think her name was Ellie) was so so welcoming, friendly and helpful! The hotel was clean, facilities were great. The room its self was very large and spacious with loads of natural light. Plug sockets, a fridge, safe, iron with board and some really nice quality products in the bathroom for you to use. I can’t fault anything besides the bed itself. I honestly had a really poor nights sleep due to how firm and uncomfortable the bed was to the point I woke up early and debated leaving sooner. I ended up folding the duvet in half and trying to go back to sleep on top of this to add more cushioning underneath. I would stay again but would maybe book a different kind of room to see if this was the same issue throughout. Overall the hotel and staff were fantastic but the bed was not suitable at all and very uncomfortable. I would recommend the children’s play area and games corner me moved somehow as it looks a little crowded when arriving "

"Room was spotless. The staff are really lovely especially the lovely lady who works in the bar in the evenings. Breakfast is well worth it."

"Noisy room next to cleaning cupboard where was woken each morning at 5-6am. Room lost all power during the stay for a period resulting in having to sit in lobby to wait for power to be restored."

"Good food"
