Excellent room. Breakfast buffet needs some upgrade.

The Angel Hotel
A grand but tired hotel but adequate for price point. Mattresses too soft and uncomfortable and rooms overheated. Decent breakfast for price. An excellent location though….easy walking distance to the station and Cardiff amenities.
