The Spotlight on The Angel Hotel

Historic Charm Meets Concert Night Convenience in Cardiff

Set inside a beautiful Victorian building, The Angel Hotel offers timeless style in a central Cardiff location—right next to Cardiff Castle and just 150 yards from the Principality Stadium. With classic décor, cozy rooms, and an elegant on-site restaurant and bar, it's a favorite among concert-goers looking for a stylish yet comfortable base.
Each room comes with free Wi-Fi, a private bathroom, TV, and tea/coffee-making facilities. Some even offer stunning views of the castle grounds. The city’s walkable layout means you're never far from good food, green spaces, and transport links.
Check-in from 14:00; check-out by 11:00.

Why Concert-goers love it

You couldn’t ask for a better location—just a few steps from the Principality Stadium and a 5-minute walk from the train and bus stations. Whether you're catching a late-night gig or heading home early, the central setting and easy access to public transport make it effortless. Rooms are surprisingly quiet for a city center location, perfect for unwinding after a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends heading to a big live event
- Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
- Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
- Fans wanting a peaceful place to rest after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers seeking style and location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel's Castell's Restaurant offers fine cuisine and an exclusive wine list in a relaxed setting—ideal for a pre-show dinner. The Angel Bar serves cocktails and light bites, perfect for a nightcap. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the central location means plenty of late-night eateries are within walking distance. Breakfast is available, even after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its proximity to Cardiff's pubs, bars, and lounges means the night doesn’t have to end after the show. Whether you're looking for a trendy cocktail spot or a cozy pub, options are just around the corner. The Angel Bar is also a great option for a quieter drink with a touch of class.

What People Say

Guests love the unbeatable location—especially for events at Principality Stadium. Reviews praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the hotel's vintage charm. Many highlight the convenience of on-site parking (for a fee) and how easy it is to explore the city on foot.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel oozes old-school charm, some rooms could use a modern refresh. The parking fee is a slight downside for those driving in, and the lack of air conditioning in some rooms might be noticeable during warmer months.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting comfort, character, and location right in the heart of Cardiff, The Angel Hotel hits all the right notes.

Good

Liked: On arrival we were greeted by a lovely French lady who couldn't do enough to help us, l didn't get her name but thank you so much. My son uses a wheelchair and we were impressed by the fact that had a lift to reception (it did get stick as we left but we won't talk about that....)The decor downstairs was absolutely beautiful, very much what we expected for such a grand building, the room was very clean with a modern bathroom. The location for our venue was excellent, literally 100yrds away.
Disliked: The room was very hot, no air con (we were booked on the hottest day of the year) just a fan which proved to be inadequate. The decor upstairs was a bit sad and needed an uplift. We waited over half an hour to be served at the bar, not great and the breakfast although really nice was a bit pricey (we heard lots of comments along those lines too) all in all, apart from the excellent location and the beautiful reception (and the French lady!) the hotel had nothing more than we would've had at a budget hotel, OK it's Wales capital city so prices will be steeper and it's convenient for the city centre and venues but still it was pricey for a small room with a fan and a pretty standard breakfast for which we had to pay over the odds.
