Hotel Indigo - Cardiff by IHG
A fitness-centre hotel steps from Cardiff Castle
About this hotel
Hotel Indigo - Cardiff sits just 200 metres from St David's Hall and 300 metres from Cardiff Castle, among the most central addresses in this guide. A terrace and fitness centre give a place to unwind or work out, and each air-conditioned room comes with a flat-screen TV, bathrobes and free toiletries, some with a seating area for extra comfort. A 24-hour front desk means flexibility for a late arrival after a long travel day, and both Motorpoint Arena and Principality Stadium sit just 500 metres away on foot. Cardiff Airport is 15 kilometres out, keeping the whole property genuinely walkable to the city's main landmarks once you've dropped the bags off.
- 300 metres from the castle
- Fitness centre and terrace
- 500 metres from Motorpoint Arena
Our take
This suits families wanting one of the most centrally located hotels in Cardiff, close enough to the castle, the arena and the stadium to walk everywhere without a car. The fitness centre is a useful extra for a parent squeezing in a workout between pool sessions, and the 24-hour desk covers a late arrival.
- ✓Walk to Cardiff Castle and Motorpoint Arena rather than booking a taxi, since both sit under 500 metres away.
- ✓Use the fitness centre for a quick workout in the morning before the family heads out for the day.
- ✓Take advantage of the 24-hour front desk if your travel plans mean a late check-in after a long journey.

Why guests love itBeing 300 metres from Cardiff Castle meant we could pop out for a quick look between pool sessions without any real planning involved. The fitness centre let me fit in a short workout most mornings before the kids were even up. The 24-hour front desk came in handy on our arrival night, since our flight was delayed and check-in was much later than planned.
