The Angel Hotel
"Room was a good size, clean and comfortable, bathroom was spotless and nice selection of toiletries provided. Breakfast was a basic selection but good, I think the Dining room could do with updating its looking very dated and tired, however I would book again as the location is excellent."

Clayton Hotel Cardiff
"Incredibly expensive for what it was. The hotel is ‘tired’ almost to the extent of being tatty, the bathroom pokey and the breakfast really poor. I was really surprised and won’t be staying again"
