Our room was clean and tidy and nice and warm, nice hot shower, good job. Could have done with some coat hooks on the wall and maybe sound proofed but overall pretty good.

The Angel Hotel
Nice place, comfortable and stylish. Does need a bit of sprucing up. Good location, close to bars and restaurants. Parking across the road, and Cardiff Castle over the road.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Bristol South - Cadbury House
Room was on the zero level which I have stayed in before on quite a few occasions - they are always cold, bathroom radiators don’t work and tv signal is awful and pixilated. Other than that the reception team, health club and restaurant were as good as usual
