Well hello welcome. Hello and we're finally out and about
again and we're back in the city we're back in
Cardiff and we're staying at the Hotel Indigo for one night
so this is our look around at the Hotel Indigo
Queen Street Cardiff, let's go
Ready? rooms ready? yes the room's ready let's go let's go.
what room number four one nine so room 419
it's a bit dark as you enter I think let's turn some lights on and have
another look around properly okay now that's better yeah
look at this
is it a rocking chair, a rocker
you're like an old man that's fun isn't it anything different
from a normal standard yeah so Mel how much did we pay for the
room? The room was 76 pounds with breakfast
including breakfast which includes full English or continental
what I like about Hotel Indigo is it's a bit quirky
i think every every hotel wherever they are in the world
there's something relevant to that locality
in the rooms so let's go and take a look around, have a closer look
well there's some Welsh on the plates
what are the straps my headboard for? To strap you there
if you feel like a bit of ..... a little bit of .....
oh yeah and over there as well there's sheep cups
Playing into every stereotype.
Robes that's quite good for a standard room isn't it yeah.
I think so, what's in here safe and a little fridge
is there a fridge or a minibar?
oh it's a fridge it's got complimentary water I presume.
yep, there's no other price list or anything. Well we are not in Las Vegas it's not going to
be 40 pounds that's good. Well the robes they're a bit
bit rough they're okay not as rough as the person
inside. Who do they make these for?
look at the size.
You need extra large there Marcus
arms, short arms. I like the old style telephone
What do you say Mel I said you remember when telephones were like that.
Cheek! these are like little sheepy weepies
sheepy weepies or rams
so that's kind of a ram I think the carpet's got a bit of a space invader
theme or the rug traditional welsh space invaders
oh it could be like, I don't know weaving, Welsh weaving, I don't know
probably got Pacman in the hallway. There's plenty of USB chargers and
normal power supplies on both sides of the bed
which is good so this is the free wi-fi it's pretty good, 86 megs.
that's better than we've got in the house.
This is a glamorous part, to avoid taking the lifts we're taking the stairs down
but just recapping the restaurant and bar
go to the bar later, it's on the top floor, on the ground floor
there's just reception and a small coffee shop.
But most of the action takes place upstairs. Mel one thing about the lifts
very nice , but do you think it reminds
you of the Victorian urinals. uh I've never thought about it before but
have you been in many?
So the restaurant bar does have a little outdoor terrace it's not very big but
enough so you can get views over Cardiff and over the
stadium. So now we're off to dinner and Mel's
already gone down to meet Jake, our son.
Who rarely makes an appearance, we stuck him in the travel lodge round the
corner
Hello Jake, say hello, say hello to everybody
stuck him in the travel lodge at the corner, they stuck me in the
homeless shelter, anyway time for dinner so last night we didn't eat in the hotel
we went out to eat but this morning we've got breakfast
so we'll show you a bit of that. Quick note
about the room it was comfortable beds the only thing this morning when people
were getting up and using the showers you could hear the
water running in the other rooms, that's the only thing about the
room itself and this room hasn't got any
well it's got frosted windows. So when you wake up in the morning you don't
know what the weather is you, can't tell if it's sunny or what
anyway let's show you a quick look at breakfast
Breakfast this way. But they have got Marmite that's the
most important
So that was our review of the Hotel Indigo in Cardiff.
Very nice too wasn't it, now we've got some bracing Cardiff weather so
if you want to see some more of our hotel reviews there's some coming up
next and we'll see you in one of those that's a bye from me
and a bye from me, from behind the camera.
Bye
