Cardiff Hotels with Bars

The room was average with no ceiling lights but both double beds were comfortable. The bathroom has a bathtub and it’s a pretty high climb for an average height person to take a shower. Plus the floor always got super wet because of the shower water. The shower was also broken so there was more water leaking behind the shower than on the person bathing. There are no face towel hangers and the heated towel hanging rod was not heated at all. The buffet had the exact same things everyday, including the cut fruits 🫣

Great location to the city centre, car park at hotel with 55 spaces and at a rate of £25 per night, very secure and well lit. Staff very friendly and available 24 hours a day. We had a free upgrade to a Kings Superior Suite which was a very spacious room, although the bathroom was quite small compared to the room size, non the less was a nice touch and discount coupons in with our key card for 10% off food and drinks and four vouchers for free coffees, which also was a nice touch. Will definitely stay here again.

Having lived in Cardiff for decades, I always thought the Raddison Blu looked smart.  First time trying there and I was really disappointed.  It's shabby, the room was really stark and overall it needs some attention.  Reception was full of leaves and granted that the weather was a bit grim, but it gave a dreadful first impression.  The room was very disappointing - painted blue and really really stark. Huge bed (two singles pushed together) a desk and some weird little table - all furniture was bashed and scratched and the room was a very odd layout. The bathroom was decent (and made the room look worse because it was quite modern) but the shower door wouldn't stay closed so the floor was sopping wet.  Despite the website saying that every room had a hairdryer, I had to ring reception to request one.  The bed wasn't too bad but they have to be the worst pillows I've ever slept on - hard doesn't come close.  Overall, I wouldn't stay there again and feel there are far better hotels in the area for the same money which were more welcoming, more modern and less bleak!

I really enjoyed my stay overall. The location was fantastic—on a beautiful street—and the hotel building itself is stunning. When I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by a very kind Italian gentleman, which gave me a great first impression. My room, though located in a separate area, was clean, modern, and nicely decorated. Everything looked fresh and well thought out. However, I was disappointed to find visible stains on the bed sheets. While I believe they had been washed, the stains hadn’t come out and the sheets were still used, which didn’t match the high standard the rest of the hotel presented. I think they should have replaced them. Another minor inconvenience was the bathroom light, which was automatic and triggered the extractor fan. This meant that even during the night, using the bathroom caused the noisy fan to stay on for a while, which could’ve been avoided with a manual light switch, in my opinion. Despite these issues, the stay was mostly very positive, but I can’t give a full five stars because of the sheets. Hopefully this can be improved for future guests.

The room had a water view, was spacious and clean. The shower had good water pressure, and we were on the 2nd floor. When checking in, they insisted our booking wasn't paid for, so I had to show them the voucher with the confirmation. Breakfast was good, they even had vegetables, which is rare! 😅 The location is so-so – fairly close to the center, but also very deserted and a bit uncomfortable to walk back to in the evenings.

The bed was very comfortable, and the location is right on the liveliest street. While the location is convenient, it’s also quite noisy—there were people drinking and partying downstairs late into the night. Early in the morning, you can hear the sound of bottles being cleared from the street.

Good location not far from centre of Cardiff. Service was poor, receptionists seemed like they didn’t want to be working there and breakfast staff like their family had just died. That said the breakfast was good quality and the room was good. Needed some cobwebs removed and mould cleaned from bathroom

The stay was really good overall the room was clean, comfortable, and everything went smoothly. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. However, I was a bit disappointed that I had to pay £16 for parking for the whole day. It would have been nice if parking was included in the stay or at least offered at a reduced rate for guests. Apart from that, everything else was great and I enjoyed my stay

Located in the middle of the city centre close to castle and local attractions. Unfortunately room backed into a night club which played music till 4am. If you are a light sleeper this could be an issue. Other then that lovely place.

It is a good hotel, good size swimming pool & have both steam room and sauna, however, been twice now on weekdays and both times very busy. Mainly self check-ins which loses the personal touch I feel and not too happy charged extra for parking giving the location of the hotel. Great service in the restaurant.
