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.

It was ok but the...

Liked: Location
Disliked: A lady cleaner walked into our room whilst we were in the room to change a bottle of soap which seemed very suspicious bearing in mind what I’d emailed the hotel previous to our stay.

Very comfortable

Liked: All things are wonderful and clean, the bed is comfortable, the views are attractive and very wonderful, and the bathroom is clean
Disliked: Honestly, I have booked a lot of times at this hotel, I think more than 5 times, and all the times the Wi-Fi network was weak, and when I want to open YouTube, for example, it will take a lot of time, and also if I want to turn on my phone data, the network is very weak and on all floors So they have to add a device to strengthen the phone's coverage if someone wants to turn on the phone's data Also, there are some fees for if you have a car and you want to put it in the hotel garage, I think it should be free

Very happy with our stay...

Liked: The breakfast we had was absolutely lovely! Couldn’t fault it at all! The staff were all so friendly and helpful and answered many queries!
Disliked: The rooms were lovely, they could’ve been a little cleaner. Overall was clean but little things like the cabinets next to the beds had a lot of dust on
