I transferred here from another Hotel. Reception were welcoming, as soon as I walked in the room, it just felt clean, bright and fresh. The bathroom was spotless. Good to have a safe in the room. Sheets fresh bed comfy. Breakfast was delicious. Even check out was nice. I will be booking my next visit here.

Stayed here for one night on a business trip. The location is a short walk from the train station and the main places to eat/drink/shop but without being slap bang in the middle. …

Lovely hotel and quite honestly, the staff there are so attentive and friendly.The rooms are okay, the two downfalls to the room is that there were two bedside lamps and that is it. There is no main light in the bedroom area which makes it difficult when you are wanting to get ready.The mirror is far from the plug sockets so if the wires to the hairdryer/straighteners etc aren't long enough then you aren't able to see what you are doing.Breakfast in the morning was lovely!!! Again the team in that area of the hotel were also attentive and friendly.

Rooms were clean albeit sparce. Breakfast was pretty good. Staff could be warmer had a rather rude maintenance staff push pass us coming out from the lift and the reception staff could come across as a bit more engaging, seemed a bit indifferent 😐

Not the expectation I had from other Radisson hotels, although not a bad stay. Definitely feels like a bit more of a budget version of the hotel.  …

The room we had was perfect for a night in Cardiff The hotel and all staff so polite and helpful just booked to return in 3 weeks. The location is ideal for the station ,shops, pubs and restaurants. You will not be disappointed. The upstairs bar got nice seating to chill before going out.

We’re staying here tonight, but not off to a great start. Check-in was a hassle, first key didn’t even work and we had to wait to get it fixed. It seems this particular hotel also does not support the usual online check-in process.Did not receive early check-in, late check-out or suite upgrade for being a Radisson VIP member. Not informed of the breakfast process, either.These are rewards that are technically “subject to availability” however across hundreds of stays with Radisson I have never NOT had them, and have never had to ask until today. Online bookings showed plenty of suite availability, so this was purely a decision made by the front desk.The initial lady at the desk did not provide us with access to the executive lounge, either, and we had to ask for this. We were also given false information that VIP members are only upgraded to one tier above, which is absolutely incorrect. This is only true for the Premium tier members, not VIP.Unfortunately not pleased with this particular Radisson hotel so far.
