Top hotels in St. Fagans

The Angel Hotel
The walls are peeling and you can see lots of damp. There were 2 holes in the bath so couldn’t have a bath, the shower was broken, they rung the room at 10.10pm to ask if they could come and have a look at the shower, we were in bed after a long day so we said no it is late. I wouldn’t stay here ...
