A wonderful stay.

10.0

Bury St Edmunds is beautiful town and I thought the hotel was equally as nice. Perfectly positioned in the heart of town. The service was exceptional, from checking in, the bar staff, the restaurant staff and the concierge. The cocktails were very nice and I particularly enjoyed the spicy margaritas.. The food in the restaurant was great. My only gripe ,being a vegetarian was that there wasn't as many options as I would have liked . But what I did have was very pleasant. Our room was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities you would expect . Parking was very easy too, leaving the car outside in the main square and dropping the keys to the concierge who move it if it needs to be moved. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay . I'm sure we will be back at somepoint. Thanks to all the smiling staff that made us feel very welcome.

Another lovely experience

10.0

We’re local to the hotel and love Bury as a classy town and nice feel. We love the Angel as a base. Rooms are always clean and well presented. The bar and restaurant are well appointed. A big plus is the onsite free parking but probably the biggest asset is the staff. This might seem an odd comment but they are all able to hold a conversation with you. They’re smiling, pleasant and professional and really put the icing on the cake. Room prices are tip top but in general a lovely experience

Disappointed

6.0

Very good location & public areas . Drab small room . No bath , no fridge , no luggage rack & lack of plug sockets at bedside . Excellent waitress staff for coffee etc Wonderful bar staff Non attentive reception staff —too busy conversing among themselves . Help with parking my car away from main hotel but nobody available to help on departure . Overall poor value compared with other UK hotels of the same grade

An Unforgettable First Stay in England

10.0

When I first saw The Angel Hotel, I was so relieved that it looked exactly like the pictures online! This was my first trip abroad and the beginning of my new life as a full-time solo traveler. My very first hotel in England was a wonderful start to this new chapter, and The Angel Hotel was absolutely perfect in every way. My room (not in the main hotel building) overlooked this quiet courtyard. It was peaceful and relaxing, with a wonderful comfy bed, soft, thick towels, delicious food, and excellent room service. This hotel was the perfect place to begin an unforgettable journey, and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience in England.
