Welcoming staff! Room was great, a little dated decor-wise but in good condition. Downside was that air conditioning switched itself on constantly despite my turning it off.

This is a lovely hotel within walking distance of everything we needed. Room was very good, clean and spacious. The reception team were brilliant and the parking really easy- we were able to park early and check in later. We would definitely stay here again.

UK guests request to bring photo ID when check-in
The hotel reception desk requested the UK resident showing the photo ID or passport, and we almost could not check-in. But I never come across this situation with other hotels in the UK.

Room was very comfortable. However when visited restaurant for breakfast the service was quite poor when compared to same hotel in Edinburgh. Tables weren't cleared, no plates available for some food areas. Requested bottled water from waitress who advised that was not available in restaurant and to visit reception, who were surprised by that request being referred to them. Also when arrived at breakfast the restaurant manager checked us in but didn't direct to table. Also very little communication from all waitressing staff. I was disappointed from my experience at the Cardiff hotel when compared to the fantastic service received in Edinburgh which doesn't put Wales in a good light

Comfortable bed
Rooms were a little dated but clean, the bathroom seemed to have had a refurbish recently although the bath was a little high to get in for a shower. One room had been set up with a king-size bed after I asked for a room with two single beds as my children were using the room.

Great, carpet was a bit grubby looking but not awful otherwise was decent, basic hotel room really. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was probably the nicest bit. Also had some nice views of the city from our window. Would stay there again for sure. Breakfast was fab too. Lots on offer and really good quality food. After claiming it was an ‘unforgettable experience’ I had a high standard before I went in and couldn’t fault the food at all! Good stuff!! Recommend staying here.

Not up to par of the brand
The usual attention to detail from Radisson was lacking. No personal note. Some staff were unkept looking and the room was well worn in areas. One if not the least well presented Radisson of quite a few I’ve booked.

Broken phone, no hand wash, a handy man tried coming in the room for a broken chair which we hadn’t reported, and booked double beds but got 2 x singles. Also the carpark was full but no signs to say so until you pull in, and have no choice but to reverse on to the main road. Location was good though.
