There’s even a Tim Horton’s across the street, on the exterior of the Queens Arcade Mall (in which I also spotted an American diner) Other Hotel Facilities and Features But if you need anything else to fill up your fridge with, there’s a Boots across the street and nearby markets with whatever you need. You’re in a shopping area, so hell – if you needed an HMV you’ll find one next door. You’ve also got a fridge in your room, in which you’ll find a bottle of sparkling and still water, complimentary to all guests. Given this only opened at the end of 2017, it all still feels very new, and the amenities are kept in excellent shape. The shower has both a rain shower and a handheld shower. They provide you with robes, that are very nice indeed, and the towels are excellent.

You’ll find a huge number of channels on the flat screen TV and there’s a speaker in the bathroom so you can keep listening while in the shower. A neighbourhood guide sits in your room and does help you out with some details of the surrounding area… and you’ll find it on the TV too! The informative TV menu The Queen bed itself is as comfortable as they come – though its the pillows in particular that deserve a mention. Under the bed is a carpet with gears on it – the rest of the room is carpet free. Most are UK only, but there’s one European plug too by the desk. I’d go so far as to say the design borders on steampunk. Nowhere is this more evident than around the lights next to the bed, and in the carpet below the bed.īut the technology in the room doesn’t sit in the early 1900s (even if that phone might suggest otherwise)… next to the bed are USB chargers and AC plugs aplenty. I was given a room that reflected and celebrated the Welsh Industry, with an industrial, rustic design accentuated by photos and paraphernalia from the city’s peak industrial era. The arcade made for a rather unique entry procedure the check-in area being to your left in the photo below, and then the elevators standing behind me local art sprung over the walls on the right.Įvery room has its own theme, with “Music”, “Made in Wales” and “Welsh Industry” being the three themes that scatter throughout the intimate 122 rooms that occupy the building. You enter the hotel through the Dominons Arcade, which sits opposite the Queens Arcade shopping centre, which I walked through to get to the hotel.
But it was a chance to get a glimpse at the city… and in spite of some older streets that all of the UK is famous for (making rolling a bag around a challenge), it was an easy trip. The hotel sent out an email about these road closures earlier in the week, so it didn’t come as a surprise. It was a cycling day, so a lot of the roads were closed to cars, and there was a football celebration in the streets – so this was something of a non-optional walk. There was a lot happening in Cardiff when I arrived. Like many Hotel Indigo’s around the world, this hotel has been built into the walls of an existing building in this case re-appropriating the Dominions House, which was built in 1921. Arriving on a train into Cardiff station, it was a 15 minute walk through the heart of the busy city on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to take me to the relatively recently opened Hotel Indigo Cardiff hidden away in the Dominions Arcade.
