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.

Probably wouldn’t recommend for the...

Liked: Hotel lobby and bar was great, although quite expensive. Some staff were amazing, and one other appeared to just not want to be there and a bit miserable. Location was great.
Disliked: The room didn’t match the pictures and was very dated with dirty old carpet that didn’t look like it was even fitted properly. Not enough towels. Stain on bed. The hotel advertised parking but there wasn’t any available.

Disappointed!!

Liked: Food was good but you would expect that your not a greasy spoon cafe,we decided to do breakfast at 9.30 am ,every table had dirty plates and cups and other clutter all over them,I approached a member of staff and was told "well we are short staffed and busy" but he did eventually clean the tables.
Disliked: When I booked via booking dot com I specifically asked for rooms with a view and breakfast ,my room faced another hotel and other rooms faced railway lines,we actually ended up having to pay extra for the breakfast as when we spoke to the hotel they said it wasn't included ???.I paid£600 for the 5 rooms ,in fact what I should have done when one of the party said if you go online now and rebook direct with the hotel you can get the same rooms for£75 each and I actually could have cancelled with booking .com and saved quite a bit of money ,next time I won't be a mug and just settle for it..I found the rooms on par with any normal premier inn ,although I did enjoy the comfortable bed,.di
