The Angel Hotel
Room was clean and tidy. Staff very helpful when requested additional coffee and milk for the room. Used west gate street NCP with code and it was a bargain price for parking

The Parkgate Hotel
This impressive hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Cardiff, and very easy to find. No parking available although there are 2 NCP car parks within a couple of minutes’ walk. Very clean throughout with excellent amenities and very polite and helpful staff. I’d happily book here again.
