Clean room, comfy bed and friendly staff.
My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in October. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our room. We had booked a suite which was a very good size and clean and had all of the facilities that you could need. It isn’t a modern hotel but has a charm. The hotel is very well located in the centre of Guildford close to shops and restaurants. The staff were very helpful, providing glasses and ice in request. It was very good value for money.
The staff were polite and helpful. Thank you
Very comfortable room in centrally located hotel
An opportunity to stay in a building full if charm and history. In the High street if Guildford
Historic building had charm. Furnishings a bit worn, but room and bathroom a nice size. Friendly staff.
Good
Great area Loved this place
Lovely hotel with friendly staff. The hotel is a beautiful hotel which was built in the 1500's. If you have mobility issues, it may not be for you as there is no lift and there are quite a lot of stairs, but it was a lovely building to stay in. The bed was comfy and I was at the top of the building so it was really quiet apart.
.
The room was a deluxe double, one of their best. We thought the little details were lacking which is a shame and make the difference. For example the Safe didn't work, no plug in the hand basin, two TV , one remote. Limited coffee etc facilities., entrance light not working. Staff though are very friendly, the room clean and the location is beyong excellant. Because of the location its easy pickings for bookings. Beware gulldford parking prices and on a weekend are like hens teeth.
.
Rustic charm. Restaurant. Good matress and bedding. Little shy on towels. Could have easily asked for more. Long hike to front desk. However manageable. No complaints.
I stay regularly and the experience will depend on which room you are in, each is quite different. All rooms I have started in are huge and plenty of space
This is my second visit here, and I still find it excellent for shopping, dining, and walking. The rooms are a little bit challenging to access because the building is old, but it's worth the minor inconvenience. I hope to return soon.
Friendly staff
No car park at hotel. Available nearby, but quite expensive.
What a charming hotel, and perfectly situated. Staff at front desk and in the restaurant were all very friendly. Spacious room and comfortable bed. You can't really have a lie-in because you'll hear them putting out chairs in the courtyard for breakfast, but that's no big issue. The only improvement I would request is a different window treatment in the bathroom, since currently there are only sheer curtains and you do feel a bit exposed to the surrounding windows when you have the light on in there. Also - I tried to ask ahead of time if there was a fan to combat the heatwave, and received no reply, but I needn't have worried as there was indeed a fan in the closet and the room was surprisingly cool anyway. Overall, a lovely stay. I'm only left with the mystery of the suite name. Tried to search for this Tobias Elkin among the more recognisable literary names and I only found living footballers. This is gonna puzzle me for a while.
Recently had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful hotel. The room was a complimentary upgrade for my birthday and was impeccably clean and well-appointed, offering a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this hotel. We're be back for sure.
The lady on the desk was the kindest and most thoughtful woman. She helped us all the way to our room and was sweet with my boy.
In the Angel Hotel I had a very spacious and comfortable bedroom with a large en-suite, the bed was very comfortable. It is on the historic cobbled High Street with shops and restaurants close by, it is 10 minutes walk to the station. In house restaurant run by Bill’s.
The air con is fake. The TV is not working. The f a u c e t i s l o o s e + l e a k i n g THE SHOWER IS WEAK IN ADDITION, POOR HOUSEKEEPING (FOUND A PIECE OF NAIL CLIPPING FROM PREVOOUS GUEST NEAR THE TOLIET BOWL AFTER TWO DAYS OF HOUSE KEEPING!) Not recommend this hotel, most appliances are nit working. The Only goid thing is the reception man and lady are friendly and nice.
Good accommodation, great location. Neither room of hotel wifi worked and couldn’t find any staff to check out at end of stay.
Very tired and a little noisy early doors but overall pleasant.
Good sized room, comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. Very convenient location which enables me to walk to and from work.

Convenient and good price
Great as ever!!!
A wonderful few days at The Angel hotel Guildford, great location for shopping and sightseeing friendly and helpful staff lovely room .
We stayed during midsummer and a heatwave. They had fans for our room but it was still hot, especially at night. This is an historic building and the location just can’t be beat, as the hotel is right on the high street. We walked everywhere and enjoyed the dining and shopping options, although it was a little noisy at night. Our room was serviced daily with free bottled water and replacement coffee pods. There is no parking so you have to use the local long term parking.
The small doorways gave you a feeling of living in back eras. The staff was always pleasant and eager to please. Lovely big rooms, sitting, bedroom and large bathroom. Right in Guildford town center but wasn't noisy at all. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.
Great staff at reception recognised my Husbands birthday. Lovely quirky hotel, massive bedroom at the back of the hotel so quieter. Really good value on Guildford high street
Helpful staff
A really beautiful hotel in the heart of Guildford. Staff were friendly and showed me to my room. My room (junior suite) was huge, beautifully decorated, clean and so comfortable. Highly recommended.
Love this hotel
Good rooms quiet, nice upgrade, friendly staff, however from a business perspective breakfast was not early enough for my needs
Quaint olde worlde lots of history and just pleasant experience
As soon as I walked into the reception, I was greeted to a warm welcome..all of the staff were very kind and friendly..too me they went above and beyond..they made me feel like a super star! I recommend them unreservedly and I look forward to staying there in the not to distant future. Thank you so much Ms Sarah Pullinger.
Upon selection thru Expedia. Only after booking did I realize there was no parking. Easily remediated once understood . After booking , hotel did supply this in thier check in procedure.
The room was clean (apart from the spiders webs in bathroom!) and comfortable and a property with character. Unfortunately there was a lot of night time noise as there is an alley and courtyard adjacent to hotel and in the morning from 7.30am there was of noise from staff setting the up cafe/restaurant who probably are totally unaware that they can be heard based on the topics. Unfortunately shurting windows wasnt an option due to the heat and with this being a historic building there is no a/c (not that i expected there to be)
The hotel is steeped in history, which made it so interesting. However the water (possibly due to the age of the building) took around 4-5 minutes to run hot, I found this to be a massive waste. Also although very clean, the carpet in my room appeared to have had a moth infestation so not very pleasant.
Lovely stay and the very friendly staff. The room was so nice and a very comfy bed with a excellent sleep.Would recommend to family and friends.
Stayed here overnight, room bigger than expected as had a separate seating are which was rather nice. Only one issue is that taps had to be turned for awhile until water flowed. Apart from that, all very good
Didn’t make up the room one day hairs in sink n tub few staff around
Shower was cold so used tap shower and its fitting had a bad leak.
I had a good night there. It is quiet and I can sleep well to get ready for my next day for a conference. Thank you.
We were greeted by friendly receptionist who showed us to our room and assisted with some of our luggage. Our room was very spacious with a 4 poster king size bed, great size bathroom with a bath and great shower. Everything is on your door step! Very comfortable and convenient. Many thanks.
This is a beautiful and vintage hotel with friendly staff; however, it is difficult to sleep at night due to the noise from the street and the bin lorry that operates around midnight.
Brilliant stay, right in heart of Guildford.
Who leaves one biscuit for two guests? Central heating did not work even when turning up thermostat. Someone previously had been smoking in the room as the area outside of the window was full of cigarette butts. Reception not there when we arrived, had to phone to get someone to come. Average stay in an average hotel
A pleasant experience, helpful staff and large comfortable rooms
A really old coach house. Beautiful inside and outside. Helpful staff and very clean.
Right in the heart of town with lots of shops and dining options.
There was no one on reception when I arrived. A mobile number was left to call someone to check you in. The room I had was several floors up and behind a door that had no indication on it as to where it led to. It could have been a cupboard. Rooms were named and not numbered and when I arrived after the hotel should have been closed, luckily there was a receptionist still on duty as I needed her help to find the room! Also had to ask for the WiFi password. No info in the room and no one to check you out. Room was comfortable.
Very noisy due to high street location,and 4am delivery to boots!!
Beautiful old building sympathetically converted to a hotel. Rooms are comfortable and spacious. The location makes the Angel a perfect stop for a short visit. The added bonus of Bills restaurant in the hotel is ideal. And a very good breakfast. The only negative is the street noise. Businesses in the side lane setting up tables and chairs made a very noises wake up call very early in a morning. Not the best when on a weekend break and wanting to wake up a little later than normal. Over all though can’t fault the hotel. I would definitely stay here again
Perfect nice quiet room with everything you need
Location very good
Just such a lovely welcome, always at hand to help , 10 out of 10 in my book 👍 thank you
Staff were very helpful and friendly Room was lovely and bed was very comfortable. Amazing location, centre of Guildford Highly recommend
This is are 4th time is stying here and it never disappoints us
Lovely old hotel, right in the centre of Guildford with lots of pubs, restaurants and shops close by. We were disappointed there was no wifi and that the safe in the room did not work and no one was available to fix it.
Noisy room with late night noise from the street
Generally a decent hotel for the stay and price. It definitely shows a bit more wear and tear but not unkempt. Overall was a pleasant stay.
The Emily Suite was very spacious and the bed was massive, only downside was no hotel breakfast only offer breakfast at Bill's Restaurant which is onsite. However Beefeater is only 10 min drive away offering all you can eat for £10.99
For our trip to Guildford it was perfect for our needs. Great atmosphere in the town very friendly.
Very lovely hotel to stay in, has great character and rooms are lovely and big! Great value for money, with a massive bed, large tv, big bathroom, tea and coffee making facilities. Smelt lovely too! Would definitely come back.
An interesting old property in the centre of town. I had a large spacious room with an excellent bathroom, a bath and shower in it. A very polite and helpful receptionist at check in.
Room was comfortable but poor lighting and cold water tap in bath/ shower impossible to turn on.
Lovely room and great service from the reception. Great little getaway with the Mrs.
As usual The Angel was a great stay. Roomy with really comfy furnishings. Bit of a labyrinth to the room, but the building is 500 years old!
Welcoming and friendly staff. Brilliant place to stay as shops and restaurants are on the door step and the hotel it self has clean and comfortable rooms.
Great location on the high street in Guildford
Good central location. Clean room. Well located for places to eat.
Was a positive experience. Happy to go back
Always a great stay! Love this place. Great location and lots of charm.
Beautiful and old building with quirky layout
Great for short stays in Guildford
When you pay for a luxury room, you expect to have everything in working order, as well as basic fundamentals, but unfortunately this place doesn’t. TVs did not work. WiFi would not work so tv wouldn’t work. Radiators constantly sound like they are half empty and making a noise. Room service disturbed us to ask if we had a magazine in our room, but never fixed the issue. No mirror on the vanity desk. No mirror close to a mains socket and therefore unable to dry or straighten hair. Coffee table leave hinges don’t support any weight and everything slips off. No plug in sink
Had a wonderful stay at the Angel Hotel Guildford! Perfect location, charming historic ambiance, and excellent service. Highly recommend !!
The hotel is very characterful but needs some attention, the shower was very weak but the hotel was well placed and we had a good nights sleep
The staff were so helpful an as friendly. The room was lovely with great pillows!
Had a very comfortable and spacious room in this lovely historic hotel in central Guildford. Will definitely be using again.
Lovely quirky old building and interiors. Luxury suite was very large and spacious. Loved it! so much better than the generic modern rubbish.
Great location when visiting Guildford, located in the heart of the town. We travelled by train so the parking wasn’t an issue. However there is car parks a short walk away.
Lovely very old hotel which I loved. Friendly staff, great location in the town
Second time we have been. It is perfect for what we need
Fabulous room, we had a suite in the old part of the hotel. There was a separate sitting room, large bedroom with superking four poster. The bathroom was beautiful and very well designed. The room was warm and comfortable. The hotel is situated in central Guildford and it is easy to walk to most venues in the town. The only downside is that the hotel has no parking and although you can park on the street in the evening there is no access during the day for unloading/loading luggage.
We booked the room in advance and purposely booked the room with the kitchenette room as we have a 10 week old baby. When we arrived at the property we were walked to our room which couldn’t be any further away. Up and down stairs then finally up two more flight of stairs. This was very tiring especially having a pram. We were offered to leave the pram in the main hall, but one, it was being used as her bed and two, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving a £1000 pram in reception. Upon entering the room, we realised there was no kitchenette. I asked at reception and I was informed that that room is booked out and has been for a month. Why was I able to book this room months ago then? I had to ask for a fridge and microwave so we were able to keep the milk cold and bottles sterilised. Hence why we booked the kitchenette bedroom. The room we had really wasn’t up to the value we paid. No plug for the sink, the tv barely had any channels and the toilet once flushed took forever to refill. We were surprised later in the evening to realise other members of our family had Nespresso machines and bath robes in their rooms. We were left pretty deflated from what was supposed to be a relaxing night stay. I have been asked to forward my issues into the hotel also, but I would like some feedback from yourselves also on this issue.
It was a very old coach house. Very quaint!
Overall the hotel is great. No doubt… BUT an alarm went off at 8am on the Sunday morning (!!!) not only that but it kept stopping, then coming back on, again…and again over the course of about 20mins. So really was NOT happy about that at all!!
Convenient for what i wanted to do
The check in staff were so welcoming and friendly. We had a lovely room but there was quite a bit of noise from the street as there are single glazed windows.
Quirky Hotel. Historic. However, it feels somewhat 'unloved'. Parts of the Hotel don't belong to the Hotel itself. For example, the bar is a cabaret/private party venue and the restaurant (Bills) is another business. The private party venue, 'The Fallen Angel' is very noisy, so ensure you request a room a way from that if you want some peace and quiet. The Hotel is a rabbit warren, with a lot of steps to climb if you are in some rooms. We were in 'Lord Byron' room. Lovely and big, a suite on the 3rd floor. 62 steps from the room to reception. 3 or 4 flights of stairs to climb, no lifts. The room itself lacked basic amenities. No wifi, television had very limited channels, only BBC1 and 2. No phone to call front desk or organise a wake up call. No mirrors anywhere except the bathroom, no fridge, limited tea and coffee, water. We had to ask for more. No 'special' touches.. ie, no flowers, fruit, chocolates. The staff were ok, friendly, but fairly ineffective. They just seem to sit on the front desk and do not have much to offer in resolving anything. Felt sorry for the young lugging a massive suitcase up tge stairs on her own, surely a Health & Safety issue? Not sure if we would stay here again. Best thing about this Hotel, is the location.
Its a old coaching bouse right in the middle of Guildford. Got great history!
Lovely big room. I know it’s an old property and the windows can’t be changed but it was noisy from the street below. Also there was no mirror where the hairdryer could reach. It just needs a portable mirror or an extension lead for hairdryer.
good location
Large, comfy room with great amenities. Perfect location on the High Street, close to the train station and nearby car parks. Would recommend!
Interesting old building. Room fine, all clean and with necessary facilities. Handy for centre of Guildford
Quick city stop travelling back from Dubai, very helpful with late check-in.
