I had a mixed experience at the Angel Posting House and Livery. The location was superb, right in the heart of the bustling High Street, but the hotel needs some updating to improve its overall appeal. The rooms, though overlooking a lively pedestrian area, lacked proper signage for navigation, and the service, while promising early check-in, fell short in communication. The dining options were linked to an adjacent restaurant, which was convenient yet left room for improvement. Overall, a stay with pros and cons that ultimately leaned towards a need for refurbishment.

The rooms overlooked a well-used pedestrian thoroughfare, but navigation was tricky due to poor signage. Decent but in need of some TLC.

The hotel is pretty much in the center of the cobbled High Street, offering a super central base for exploring the town. Clean carpets would elevate the overall experience.

I stayed at this hotel in the very heart of Guildford, right on the high street. The rooms were clean but a bit outdated; unfortunately, the mattress was not comfortable at all. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist me. The location was convenient for shopping but lacked some charm. The dining experience was underwhelming, with limited options. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.

The hotel felt like a journey back in time with a need for refurbishment, dusty cobwebs, and a maze-like layout from the reception. However, the service was exceptional, friendly, and offered additional help and amenities. The location was excellent in the heart of the town, while the dining experience was mixed, requiring a visit to a nearby restaurant for better options.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely lovely. The rooms were spacious, with a huge bed and nicely decorated, but unfortunately, they overlooked the noisy High Street. The service was friendly, but I wished they could have been more helpful in providing information on public transport. The location was fantastic for a night's stay in Guildford, being central and close to the theater I was visiting. The dining experience was a bit disappointing, with a restaurant that felt detached and overpriced. Overall, a mixed experience with some highs and lows.
