Check-in was friendly and smooth. Room was spacious, clean and comfy; shower was particularly good. Only areas for improvement - there were couple of minor areas needing repair (card slot to turn on lights coming off and hand soap nozzle loose) and could do with more hangers in the wardrobe. Breakfast had a lot of choice and very good quality in a lovely setting. Location is very convenient for city centre. Overall a great stay and fantastic value for money, will definitely be back.

The first room we were out in totally stunk of smoke, we rang reception and they moved us to a new upgraded room! The staff were lovely. The breakfast has changed to buffet style instead of ordering from a menu, and definitely isn’t as good now. Overall good stay though.

Perfect hotel for what we needed and very smooth check-in. Room was great and big bathroom. Breakfast was good but they didn’t have the homemade granola (or any granola/muesli) as in the pictures.

Most things were fine except the most important factor, the bed. We have never stayed in a hotel where there was no matress, only a box spring. It was very uncomfortable. The worker at the front desk had no idea what a box spring was. The breakfast, while extensive was not hot and over cooked. It was as though it was prepared for when the opened and sat around for an hour or more. It had a great selection, but it was luke warm. For the price point, we expected more.

Requested 2 extra pillows initially through a request on Expedia and then at reception. As our last stay at indigo the pillows were a little worse for wear. When I came to reception yesterday, the receptionist firstly didn’t receive the request and then shut me down immediately by saying no one but myself is here today and I can’t leave reception to get you pillows rather abruptly. Explained I would really need them for neck support she continued to repeat again and annoyed then proceeded to open cupboards and a door and said there’s nothing here and said I can’t leave the desk no one’s here but herself. The pillows were indeed as last time ball like clumps and not fit for purpose. We both have tried to sleep by evening using the duvet for support in order to sleep but had a rough uncomfortable night. We have a four hour journey and lack of sleep and neck stiffness is not ideal at all which could have been resolved by adding just two pillows requested. Shame love the hotel but will have to revert to our usual hotel in the future of our regular visits to Cardiff
