اول مرة اسكنه واخر مرة جميع اوتيلات انديغو اصبحت غير مقبولة لدي بعد هذه التجربة
Pros:

حقيقة لم يعجبني
تجربة لن تتكرر
كان مصبرني انها ليلتين وطالعة للمطار

Cons:

1- التاكسي لا يصل للاوتيل فيه تسحيب شنط في زحمة الناس
2- المبني قديم والمصاعد تصدر صوت مزعج مدخل الاوتيل درج مزعج مع الحقائب
3- تم اخراجنا صباح باكر لان فيه حالة حريق لم ياتي اي اعتذار اوشرح من الفندق ولا نعلم هل هو انذار حقيقي ام طواري
4- اي احد يقدر يدخل ويروح للمصاعد او الدرج بحكم وجود بار في الادوار العليا يفترض فيه مصعد للزوار ومصعد للنزلاء يفتح بالكرت
5- الاوتيل في منطقة زحمة والشحاذين والهوم لس ينامون عند الباب
مستويات الامان جدا منخفضة
اللامانة لم اجرب الاكل عندهم

Great Location, Inconsistent Empathy
Pros:

Check in was pleasant although front desk got cramped when other guests arrived.
Room was a decent size considering the hotels’ very central location.
Sliding door to bathroom was very stiff and hard to open/close.
Rooftop bar has excellent views but staff up there are somewhat hit and miss. Waiter who served us was very “yes” or “no” and lacking in hospitality or empathy (no snacks or anything other than bottled beer yet pints were available on our return later. Odd.)
Breakfast was good, decent choices and polite service.
In summary, ALL staff need to be pleasant and empathetic when customer facing. Mechanics of rooms need some attention. Location is very good.

Someone else toe nails on the floor
Pros:

The Indigo hotel is just grubby. My room floor looked dirty and I found someone else toe nails on the floor. I raised the issue with reception and they said after an investigation. The cleaning staff were spoken to and they were looking to reclaim their costs. Reception also said I must have moved the bed. I had no apology nor put at easy my room would be cleaned.
For the money in central London you would expect better.

Pros:

Mi hija tenia mal una pierna y estaba con muletas y nos dieron una habitación de minusvalidos amplia lo cual Le ayudaba sobretodo en el baño con los agarres especiales.

Cons:

Q la ventana no se podía abrir aunque fuera un poco.
Pero menos mal q tenía ventana porque las dos noche antes qu estuve con una amiga en este mismo hotel no teníamos y era agobiante.
