Very easy and friendly check-in
Room spacious comfortable and spotless
Wifi a little hit and miss but otherwise a great location and the little quirks make it stand out .. a rocking chair in my room, the view of colourful deckchairs on what could just be a boring outlook .. nicely thought out …

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.
