Great stay at indigo, staff were really helpful and room was beautiful. The best hotel I've stayed at in Cardiff. Only one thing i found disappointing and that's you have to pay £16.95 for breakfast whether you are a solo traveller or a couple. It would be nice if there was a individual breakfast price.
