Hotel stay

When we arrived we were upgraded as star guest of the day , this was a pleasant surprise and included free use of the mini bar and a beautiful room and a free drink voucher. This made our stay even more special. Hotel is located right in the town centre so easy access to all amenities and a few minutes walk to the castle. Parking we booked before arriving and it was with NCP and was just a few minutes walk from the hotel . Breakfast was good with a choice of cooked or not . Overall a lovely hotel to stay at .

Lovely Quirky Indigo Hotel.

We stayed at the hotel Indigo. Lovely quirky place, friendly helpful and attentive staff. Our Queen bed was super comfy, room was large, nice decor (included a bit of history) and the bathroom was excellent, from walk in shower to quirky lighting.. 💡Loved our stay.So quiet.. 😴No doors banging.. And we were right in the Cardiff City centre. We would 💯Recommend and we would definitely book again.
