Stayed here for a wedding, the hotel was sold as one of the 'Luxury hotels of the world' collection. We were expecting Relais Chateaux standards. OH HOW WRONG we were!!! there was NO Parking!!! the hotel do not run a car valet or parking service. The rooms need re-decorating and are shabby, shabby, shabby! Staff are unhelpful and multi-task, ie. desk person, is porter, is night barman and hang on....isn't he also the duty manager??!! At breakfast we were all served exactly the same plate of cooked breakfast which also included the deligthful experience of powdered scrambled egg - yum, yum!!! GORDON RAMSAY WHERE ARE YOU???? A Kitchen Nightmare candidate if ever i've stayed in one! Oh, and by the way, my husband got blisters on his feet from the trek to and from the car park via cobbled streets ans carrying our bags! Nice!

Arranged to get ready for my wedding in this hotel and 90% of the rooms where booked out to wedding guests. The staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful.
This hotel is on the High street with no parking, and a barrier to the entrance of the street with limited access to the hotel itself. Despite assurances that the staff would open the barrier to the wedding cars they refused and made me 30 minutes late for my own wedding, they even then tried to blame the car company which was down right wrong.
Don't waste your money staying in this hotel, not one of the wedding party had a good experience. Don't risk it!!!

We use this hotel as a base to visit our son and his partner who have an apartment just up the High Street. It was the second time for us and after 18 months we noticed little had changed, except perhaps deteriorated a bit further.
The only thing going for the Angel is the location and access to everything that is Guildford. Shopping and eating out are all just a stroll away.
Car parking is a real problem. Park at great expense in the town multi storey 400 yards away and have a nice walk (in the rain?) back to the hotel.
The hotel has bags of character but has seen no changes for years. It is all tired. The room was at the back of the hotel. Nice and quiet but tired. Small for £155 a night. Bathroom was a good size with bath and seperate shower. Molton Brown toiletries.
There was a wedding on (in the Crypt) but it had no impact on us. There is no restaurant for evening meals but there are so many restaurants close by that this is not a problem.
Breakfast, included in the room rate, is basic but OK.
We will be looking for another hotel next time we come down.

This hotel is simply fabulous and deserves more credit than it is given on this site. Yes it is dated and the rooms are overpriced but the staff are second to none and if you hire it privately you will not be let down. We just held our wedding there and it could not have gone any better. From start to finish the experience was incredible and the staff are some of the most professional I have ever had the chance to meet. I would recommend this hotel to anyone I know and not one of our guests had a bad word to say.
Read the other reviews by all means but if you don't try it once it would be a shame.

Well done to Alex, Tanya and all the staff.
