The hotel was of exceptional quality and located right in the center of the city. The rooms were spacious, clean, and decent-sized, although there was a bit of increased noise from other rooms. Looking for a place to stay? Look no further; we will definitely return.

I had a fabulous stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and had lovely personal touches, but the noise from the nightclub kept me up at night. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff always willing to assist, even at odd hours. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of Cardiff with everything within walking distance. The dining experience was a bit disorganized, but the food quality was great. Overall, a great value for money with excellent facilities.

The hotel room appeared smaller than on the website, but turned out to be cozy and equipped with all the amenities necessary for a business traveler. Stayed up till 1 am chatting with friends, haha! The service staff were constantly apologizing due to speed issues and missing items from orders, yet one team member went above and beyond to explain the problems with car parking and even offered a complimentary late check-out. The location was perfect for a night out exploring food and drinks outside the onsite restaurant. Although the layout was a bit peculiar and close to the seating area, the hotel is right in the heart of Cardiff, minutes away from the castle and surrounded by all the attractions you could want. Dining was not particularly my favorite, but pre-booking meals at a reduced rate was a good deal. Plus, the location is highly recommended. Overall, a memorable experience with some minor hiccups but great value for the money.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely lovely. The room was of a good size with great decor and facilities, including a very comfy bed and everything I needed for an overnight stay. The staff was friendly and attentive. However, finding the hotel was stressful as it's not visible while driving, and parking was non-existent. The coffee served at breakfast was the worst I've ever tasted, which might haunt me for years to come.

The hotel room was so comfy and clean, just as expected from Indigo hotels, but it didn't have that 'wow' factor this time. The service was A* with very friendly and helpful staff, although they seemed a bit busy at breakfast. The location was ideal for our plans in Cardiff City center, but finding parking was a little bit tricky. The dining experience was very good with a great menu selection, but not quite up to the usual Hotel Indigo standard. Overall, a comfortable stay with attentive service and a convenient location.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The coal mining-themed room was incredibly comfortable and had all the amenities I could ask for. Despite being on a busy street, the room at the back was peaceful and quiet, just like a home away from home. The service provided by the manager and staff was top-notch, they were so friendly and offered helpful advice. The location, right in the center of Cardiff opposite the Queens Arcade, was ideal for exploring the city.

I had a fantastic time at this hotel. The rooms were amazing, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed; I will definitely come back. The mini bar only had 1 small mini bottle of rose wine, which was a bit disappointing, but the extremely comfortable bed, all the plug sockets, lovely bathroom, and well-designed space made up for it. The staff were super friendly. The tea and coffee facilities could have been better, but overall, it was a highly recommended stay at a very reasonable price.

The location is perfect, right in the center of town, close to everything in Cardiff city center.
