Reviews for Angel View
Review 1：Not very clean, especially the kitchen! Some things were broken (chair, curtains, drawer in the shower) no electricity for lamps and cooker
Review 2：LOcation was great
Review 3：No staff on duty to report TV not working, radiator in bathroom not working No free or secure parking Very poor locks on doors Very noisy Breakfast arrangements very strange Holes in well used bedding
Review 4：Nothing
Review 5：Generally poor value for money. If £20-30 less a night, the below would have been more acceptable: Pillow was heavily stained with paint/white substance Bath mat dirty Poor reception when arrived as was not able to go to my room straight away. Had to wait in living room for 10-20 minutes whilst it was confirmed that I was staying there. Breakfast was mainly just (help yourself) cerial/toast - there was one yoghurt and one banana available on one of the days. The leaflet about breakfast in the kitchen offered more than this. Host non-existant Over four nights, the room was cleaned once (bin emptied, bed tidied but no chage of towell).
Review 6：Location was good Nice view from room Bed comfortable Reasonably quiet Was not disturbed by host Wi-Fi
Review 7：Difficult to locate, with poor parking options.
Review 8：Pleasant and friendly owner, lovely room. I had a very comfortable stay, with everything provided. Rules were reasonable and provided facilities were more than adequate. A very enjoyable stay.
Review 9：Steps to house , very steep . I had a knee operation a month ago plus I am 61 and I could barely manage the 3 flights of steps , then I was upstairs to my room .nothing on the booking indicated this . Outside is very overgrown and paint is damaged and worn . Tap in bathroom loose , curtains didn't fit window , blinds were filthy . Very overpriced . So disappointed
Review 10：The Portuguese house keepers
Review 11：Restricted opening hours son and girlfriend unable to gain access just to change. using not fully uncooked extension lead in room is a fire risk. Got chareged for other twin bed when single occupant. Would be helpful to have an extension lead by bed. need a bath mat. No door on cupboard where's the cooked brakfast??or ingreduents to do one? key got stuck some blinds broken handles. long set of steps to front door.
Review 12：Comfortable but sparten.
Review 13：The breakfast is just some cereal and a yogurt, or a toast. Don't expect nice warm continental breakfast. The staff is amateurish and inexperienced, the hotel seems to be run by its former guests who are forced to stay until they find a replacement for themselves (so watch out).
Review 14：The WiFi is probably the best about the hotel. It's free and it works, albeit not very fast.
Review 15：Arrived with heavy cases to find a lot of steep steps. Breakfast was very limited and help yourself - there weren't enough bowls to go round. Fee was deducted from holding card as soon as the free cancellation period was over. Saw nothing of owners after being let in.
Review 16：Not a lot!
Review 17：Unkempt rooms and accessories. Mildew in shower room and breakfast conservatory. Office furniture being used as bedroom furniture.
Review 18：The housekeeper was very pleasant and we felt sorry for her in the position she had been thrown into.
Review 19："breakfast included in price" is totally misleading. We were shown kitchen with small fridge, half a bottle of milk, a couple of yoghurts, some cereal and told we could help ourselves. We were expecting cooked breakfast. The wording on the webpage should read "continental breakfast" then we would have known not to book as this is not what we wanted. Shower was useless, as good as a watering can.
Review 20：The view over Guildford was great
Review 21：The strong smell of bleach mixed with cooking smells from the kitchen. The tatty state of the curtains ( the hems all falling down) Having to place the kettle on the floor to boil it because the plug didnt reach the socket.
Review 22：The view. It was warm.
Review 23：The bed was to short so I couldn't sleep proper and smelly. No hair drier. In the morning the eater was off, in the morning the room was bloody freezing. To warm up the room you need to use the hot shower. In the bathroom there is nothing where you can hang a towel. Speaking of towel, not enough at all. So if you plan to have shower remember to bring your own towel. Nobody came to clean the room while I was staying there.
Review 24：He is a nice gentleman
Review 25：During my last visit to Guildford, I got to the place and was outside knocking for 30 minutes. Prior to my arrival I had followed the usual instruction of calling beforehand but no one answered the phone. At night time there was a lot of disturbance with people singing and running up and down the stairs and there was no form of control. I was highly disappointed with the whole experience as this had never been the case in the past
Review 26：I've always used angel view whenever I visit in Guildford. The caretaker there has always been lovely.
Review 27：a drunken guest tried to enter my locked room at 2 am, so I woke up and was frightened for a while. he left though without any further ado.
Review 28：clean, friendly receptionist, close to high street
Review 29：Bed sheets and towels are supposed to be changed daily and not left for the whole stay. More cooking tool and a bigger breakfast variety would have been welcome.
Review 30：Nice location close to town centre. Warm and quiet place.
Review 31：Steep hill to the hotel,have to go down an amount of steps to the front door which were a bit dangerous with dim light and slippery.No lift. Heavy smell of cooked fish inside. Lack of towelswhichhave to last two days.breakfast very poor, no butter onfirst day, noham, no cheese, help yourself sevice
Review 32：View from ack windows
Review 33：Having to find all the breakfast things in the kitchen and having to bring our cups down from our rooms to make a cuppa with breakfast.difficult to find as no signs displayed
Review 34：Location excellent, friendly staff,very clean.
Review 35：during 4 night stay only 1x room service small room rented for 3 people - barely space to turn around this is a place where students on a budget can stay for a few days but for a B&B I would put on lower category (minimalistic self-service breakfast)
Review 36：bathroom was clean
Review 37：Shower and shower curtain Overflowing cigarette butt tin on verandah General feeling it needed a good spring clean No hanging space
Review 38：Location to city centre Self serve breakfast Wi-Fi View
Review 39：Think a 5pm check in is too late Bathroom smelt a little towels ... too small and old bedding ... could do with updating outdoors could have done with a tidy up ... still it is autumn Should have a warning about the steps down to the property as very steep and slippery when wet and also that the walk towards city centre has a steep hill upwards
Review 40：Location only 3 mins to city centre size of rooms ensuite bathroom Balcony
Review 41：For £65 / night, it really seemed like more effort could have been put in - cleaning the bathroom of dead insects for example. We didn't even bother with breakfast, as it was massively underwhelming "help yourself to cereal and toast.." Usually expect the breakfast in a B&B to be decent, and someone to cook it for you, the place felt more like someone trying to make some cash from their spare rooms than anyone interested in hosting guests.
Review 42：V good location above the high street, quiet road.
Review 43：Sheets and towels could do with updating. They were clean but old. Breakfast is self service and when the meusli ran out it was not topped up. No freshly brewed coffee. However for the price of this B&B you should not expect a big breakfast with freshly brewed coffee!
Review 44：Clean, spacious room and bathroom and internet worked well.
Review 45：Terrible access to house down steep steps, very difficult in the dark. Have to make your own breakfast with minimal ingredients. Bathroom smelly, Garden very untidy & unkempt. Wouldn't stay again.
Review 46：Good spot for access to Guildford town centre.
Review 47：No warning about the access..very steep steps 30 +. No clear sign on road. No resident owner. Do it yourself minimal breakfast..cereal, yoghurt, 1 banana and toast. Minimal comfort.1 cup, TV not working, very warn bedding, only one bedside table. Bathroom grubby in corners. £75 per night is a lot for this with no owner or cooked breakfast..none of this advertised.
Review 48：The view, the sunset.
Review 49：Bathroom shabby, shower very small and hand grips very rusty. Bathroom smelt very damp on arrival due to 2 very wet shower towels left on back of door, presumably by previous occupant. Towels old, one had a hole. No chair or place to put clothes. Bedding not ironed. Ragged curtain too short for French windows. Garden scruffy, overgrown and uncared for. It could be beautiful as it looks over the whole of Guildford. Website did not mention that breakfast is self service and continental and guests have to do their own washing up. More like a hostel than a bed and breakfast/guest house.
Review 50：location and view. Very nice, quiet road on a hill with a lovely view of Guildford.
Review 51：1 Room was small, nowhere to hang clothes En-suite cramped, tired and smell of drains, tiny electric shower Noise from other guests coming & going, walls quite thin Smell of cooking
Review 52：Location - just minutes from high street Owner communications excellent Free Wifi Driveway parking Easy to come and go as you please Twin room well equipped, huge ensuite bathroom
Review 53：No B&B sign or other sign with Angel View. House below street level and only see a strange garage with steps leading down. No reception. My friend arrived first and wasn't comfortable. Upstairs room and no help with case up the stairs, even though we're both in our 60's. Room smelt damp. Garden needed attention. No reception to greet you or ask questions. Self-service breakfast but no-one to be seen.
Review 54：The room was spacious and beds comfortable.
Review 55：1. Access - 29 steps down to front door We are 80 + No indication given on web site. 2. No staff in residence on both nights - Health and Safety - emergency? 3. No clear indication that B'fast was self service. Other guests were from overseas and were bemused - especially in the absence of any staff. We have passed these comments on to contact person - Andrew - on payment by phone following our stay
