The Spotlight on Radisson Blu Hotel

Modern Comfort Steps from Cardiff's Best Music Venues

Located right in the heart of Cardiff, the Radisson Blu Hotel blends sleek, modern style with unbeatable convenience. With stunning city views, air-conditioned rooms, and free Wi-Fi, it’s an ideal base for concert-goers heading to the nearby Cardiff International Arena, Principality Stadium, or catching a show at one of the city's many live music spots.
Only a short walk from Cardiff Central Rail Station, it’s easy to get in, get settled, and head straight to the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love the Radisson Blu for its walkable location to major venues, meaning no need for late-night taxis or long treks after the encore. Despite being in the city centre, the hotel manages to stay relatively quiet—perfect for winding down. With a 3:00 PM check-in and a generous 12:00 PM check-out, there’s no rush if you’re recovering from a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to gigs together
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list artist
  • Couples making a weekend of it
  • Fans wanting a quieter, stylish space post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar serves up British classics and drinks, perfect for pre-show bites or a post-concert nightcap. While there’s no 24/7 room service, being right in the city centre means plenty of late-night eateries are just a short walk away. Breakfast is served, and you’ll appreciate the timing if you’ve had a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, you’ll find plenty of bars, clubs, and lounges within walking distance. Whether you're looking for a chill drink or want to keep the party going, Cardiff’s nightlife is right at your doorstep.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the central location and clean, modern rooms. Many reviews highlight the friendly staff and ease of access to train connections and venues. The city views from higher floors also get frequent shout-outs.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the décor could use a refresh in places, and during busy nights, check-in can be a bit slow. But overall, these are minor trade-offs for the prime location.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a stylish, comfortable stay within walking distance of Cardiff’s top music venues, the Radisson Blu Hotel hits all the right notes.

Fair - 2.5 out of 5

All of this might have...

Liked: Location, breakfast
Disliked: The room appeared clean in terms of daily housekeeping. However, the carpet and curtains were old and dirty. There was no Netflix or smart TV, and no coffee machine, just a kettle. I had to call reception for a missing hairdryer and waited over 50 minutes for it to be delivered to my room.

I love my stay at...

Liked: The location was excellent for visiting all areas, shopping, arena, Mermaid Quay and castle. The room had everything you could want. It was very clean and the huge bed was really comfortable and very quiet. Staff were very friendly and attentive.
Disliked: Nothing. Everything was excellent.

Wonderful - 4.5 out of 5

Anonymous Wed, 2 July 2025

In many ways better than...

Liked: I am disabled -- the room left me plenty of room to manoeuvre in my mobility scooter -- and the grab rails were great. I can stagger a few steps and can walk a little with the aid of two sticks -- but if I drop them I am stuck, so it was great to have the pull cords. I hate being separated from my mobility scooter -- because, essentially, it is my legs -- being able to have it in my room and charge it was great. I often need to recharge the battery twice a day.
Disliked: However, although you have obviously made great efforts to help those with disabilities it is a one size fits all approach -- I usually use a raised toilet seat, you had a low one fitted. You can get 'appliances' that fit over a loo seat to help those of us that need a raised seat. I have a friend who is an amputee and he has the same problem.

Great stay

Liked: The staff were incredible and couldn't do enough to support me as a disabled guest.
Disliked: Air conditioning in the original room was loud so we had to move rooms.
