The Angel Hotel is on Castle Street, about a one minute walk from Cardiff Castle and Bute Park, in a building that has been part of the city's scene for generations. It offers a restaurant called Castells, a coffee shop, a bar, 24-hour room service and a lobby fireplace, and its room range runs from single rooms to family rooms that sleep four. It is a good mid-range choice for visitors who care more about location than modern gloss.
Location and getting around
The castle is a one minute walk, Sophia Gardens three minutes, and St David's about eight, with Cardiff Central station around eleven minutes on foot. The Utilita Arena is about twelve minutes away and the Principality Stadium is within about fifteen. The airport is roughly a 30 minute drive. Parking is available at a nightly charge, which is helpful if you are driving, though it is worth asking before you arrive. This is as central as Cardiff gets, so you can walk to almost every sight in the city centre.
Rooms and what to ask for
The hotel has standard single, twin and double rooms, premium doubles, deluxe twins, a deluxe suite and a family room that sleeps four. Choose a premium or deluxe room if you want more space, and ask for a room away from Castle Street if noise matters. Free WiFi is available in rooms, and the hotel has a concierge, luggage storage, tour and ticket assistance, and meeting rooms. Dogs are welcome for a deposit and a fee.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits couples, families and anyone who wants to be across the road from the castle at a mid-range price. A full breakfast is available for a surcharge, so compare rates with and without it. Check-in is from 3 in the afternoon, with an early check-in fee, and check-out is at 11 with a late check-out fee. Free cancellation applies on selected room rates. Because it is an older building, room sizes vary, so read the room descriptions when you book.
