Hotel Indigo's central location in the shopping area is a recurring highlight, making it easy to walk to Cardiff's main attractions, with some guests finding the access via the shopping arcade unexpected. The rooms are often described as comfortable and a good size, with nice decor and tea and coffee facilities provided. Breakfast is generally well-received, with gluten-free options available, though a few guests have mentioned occasional issues with the hot buffet not being replenished quickly enough. Also the gym offers good equipment for a workout.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

convenient locationfaulty air conditioningfrosted windows
The room was clean and the location proved convenient.
The air conditioning didn't work properly. I found the room too warm. The frosted windows blocked much of the natural light. The room felt dark and a little depressing.

the room was clean and spacious (perfect for unwinding after a long day). the breakfast buffet had many options and i found it plentiful. the train station was a short walk from the hotel, a real convenience.
the room air conditioning clanked continuously at night, made sleep difficult. the shower room floor corners looked grubby. i found only one wine glass and one coffee cup in a room booked for two people.
