Excellent Breakfast Offerings

“I really enjoyed the breakfast at Hotel Indigo. The self-service buffet was excellent, providing a variety of cold continental options. Additionally, I loved that you can order hot dishes from the kitchen, such as the delicious French toast with bacon and maple syrup. Both days, I couldn't resist ordering it because it was so beautifully presented and tasty!” view full review

Affordable Parking Solution

“I appreciated the convenient parking arrangements at Hotel Indigo. Instead of paying the hotel's standard rate, I managed to book parking through a third-party website, which cost me only £7.50 a night. This was a great tip I found and made my stay much more budget-friendly!” view full review

Stylish and Comfortable Rooms

“The room I stayed in was truly well appointed, reflecting local architecture's charm. It was a boutique-style room with artistic décor and was outfitted with a comfortable bed, a good-quality rainfall shower, and a large TV. I appreciated the inclusion of locally themed tea and coffee options as well.” view full review

Functional and Well-Designed Bathroom

“I found the bathroom to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. It had excellent lighting and plenty of space, made my morning routine enjoyable. I was particularly impressed by the thoughtful layout, ensuring that the shower controls were placed separately from the showerhead, preventing those dreaded cold splashes!” view full review
