Frommer's Review
This elegant Victorian hotel across from Cardiff Castle was the place to stay in South Wales when it was first built. Over the years it has attracted everybody from Greta Garbo to the Beatles to every prime minister of Britain. It will never regain its old supremacy, as greater hotels such as Cardiff Bay and St. David's Hotel & Spa have long surpassed it, but the Angel is still there and still good -- and it has regained some of its old prestige following a restoration -- a world of neo-Doric decor, trompe l'oeil ceilings, Waterford crystal chandeliers, and hand-stippled faux-marble columns. As befits a hotel of this age, rooms come in a wide variety of styles and sizes.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar and lounge; room service; babysitting

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
