Really impressed by this hotel. Room was extremely comfortable and very quiet as it overlooked an internal courtyard.

Great Stay, but a Few Inconveniences.
Overall, we enjoyed our time at Hotel Indigo. The room was fantastic—very comfortable bed, well-designed, and the hotel's location is hard to beat.Fsntastic roof top bar.
However, there were a few minor letdowns. Breakfast service was consistently slow, even when the dining area wasn't busy. However, the food was excellent.
Also, from a practical standpoint, the bathroom setup made wet shaving quite difficult—there are no plugs in the bathroom sink and no dedicated shaving mirror.
With a few tweaks to service speed and bathroom amenities, it would easily be a 5-star experience!

So with all the good that we enjoyed there are a few suggestions. We were 3 people staying 3 nights.
RESTAURANT 12,5 % service charge AUTOMATICALLY added to your Restaurant bill, which was not advertised. Extra cheese on a burger means half cheese .... apparently that's how it comes.
The air-conditioning in the restaurant is too cold morning and night - cools your food in minutes, take a jacket. There was a heat wave, but 17C outside at 830am does not need cold room temperatures.
Ask staff to repeat order to you, we had a few hiccups
Spire rooftop bar was great, worth a trip upstairs each evening.
PARKING Q-Park is attached to the hotel, not opposite or 5 minutes away .. it's attached but costs a few pound, worth it.
ROOMS are great, not huge but adequate. Cupboard space is limited, my wife used the space while I had to use my suitcase. There is a whole gap with empty space beside the wardrobe which could have more shelves or another cupboard, even just hanging space if there were more than 5 hangers.
MILK - just give milk, yes it's in a little glass bottle but barely enough for a cup of brew each.( Tesco express is 30m away literally from the front door) NESCAFE Coffee pod machine - those pods take 150 years to decompose, 4 per room per day - be responsible, use Celtic coffee bags instead.
Room cleaning , arrival was good, and 2nd and 3rd days was sloppy and barely made the bed, sheet was even above the mattress.

We live in gloucester and went to the INdigo to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our favourite tipple - a mohito. The bar couldn't provide - no mint, or provide any other drink that included mint. Downgraded our alternative when they wouldn't accept cash as payment. What sensible business doesn't accept cash - only one that doesn't need the custom. Won't be visiting again.
