Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Angel Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Angel Hotel enjoys a prime location in the heart of Bury St Edmunds, right opposite the Abbey Gardens and near the main shopping street, Abbygate Street, making it ideal for exploring the town and its cathedral. Many guests have appreciated the spacious Ivy View Rooms, some of which offer wonderful cathedral views. The bar area is often bustling with a great atmosphere, and while some found the car parking policy a little inflexible after check-out, the hotel provides convenient parking. The traditional coaching inn style, with recent refurbishment, is frequently mentioned as a positive.

stained headboard tired decor
The room i got was really not up to par, considering the price. i found some questionable stains on the headboard. It was pretty gross. the shower cubicle also looked like it hadn't been properly cleaned in ages, and the decor seemed tired. it seemed like they put all their money into the bar and restaurant and forgot about the rooms.

average experience at this hotel

impersonal decor poor maintenance
the location was prime, opposite the abbey.
Our room was too hot. The decor felt impersonal. the bed, a four-poster, was small relative to the room's size. corridors to the room needed some maintenance.
