The cleaning was not very good. My room was not vacuumed and they took more towels than they left. They didn't clean glasses in the room rother. There was a terrible sewage smell the second day on the bottom 2 floors. But the staff was friendly and the bar on the top floor was a great bonus.

Arrived at room which was very cold, unable to control heating, after a call to reception the room after about 1-2 hours got to 20c. The next day on returning to room the same issue occurred, I asked to move rooms which was done very quickly but again the room was cold but we were able to control heating but took 1-2 hours to warm up. I had looked forward to staying at Hotel Indigo but sadly the experience was disappointing.

The staff are excellent and the room was nice. It was nice and quiet. No nighttime noise despite the business and noise on the streets. Breakfast options were very good and the breakfast room was quiet. Location of the hotel is second to none. My only negative is the food at the top floor restaurant. Poor quality food and very little choice. I would stay here again but eat elsewhere.

The Hotel is very central, great for seeing beautiful Cardiff. Its rare to be able to say all the staff are exceptional, friendly , helpful and interested in guests. Room clean with some nice decor touches. Cant wait to stay again. Breakfast is very good . I was unable to take breakfast on our first day as I was unwell. However, I was allowed to take some items with me on last day for journey home, this was kindly offered without any hesitation. A really lovely experience in every aspect. Thank you everyone at Hotel Indigo, youre outstanding!
