Very convenient location for the Utilitia Arena, the standard room was very basic like a travelodge not a 4 star hotel, best thing was the lovely bathroom, however it was clean and warm, breakfast was alright too.

Hello, I have no words to describe my stay with you in Cardiff on 23 November 2024. I booked 2 rooms months prior. A city view superior room and a standard room. I only used your hotel as you could supply these rooms. I got room 708 and 705. How you could call room 708 a superior city view room is shocking and deceiving A view of a run down courtyard. The standard room we booked you gave us a disabled room 705. I did not want a disabled room or book a disabled room. We had to share our bath with the occupants from room 705. Also the temperature did not work in room 705. Everything was reported to reception and when I asked who the manager on duty was that I could elevate the complaint to, I was told I had to raise it in the morning? The person on sympathised with me and said it’s unacceptable but the hotel is full and there is nothing he can do. He would however make a note of it. In the morning I raised the complaint again and I was given a card with an email address on with the receptionist saying just email them and tell them what you told me? The hotel rooms were not as described or as I booked and I find this unacceptable would not have stayed in your hotel if you could not deliver what I ordered. I find this very dishonest of you and the total lack of not giving me the rooms I booked frustrated me as under no circumstances would I have booked in this hotel.

This hotel was conveniently located. Staff where friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok. Only found out on the last day of my stay I could request an omelette. I was dissapointed by one thing. I requested my room be cleaned. When I pulled back the duvet to go to bed, I found that the person just pulled the duvet but did not actually shake out and make the bed

Hotel location was great and short walk to shops and restaurants. Room was outdated and pillow was essentially a brick with pillow case over it. This was thankfully changed by housekeeping.

Good location with in the city. Parking is limited and first come first serve. Staff were rude when checking in. Room was on, carpet was worn and not secured around the skirting boards. Also a large number of cigarette burns in the carpet and on the faux leather furniture. Best bit was the large clean bathroom.

This property is not what you think when you think radisson it’s not very clean very dated the rooms need updating if your used to 4* this isn’t it I would recommend booking else where. It says it has parking but the parking isn’t just for hotel guest and you can’t reserve so there is no guarantee that you will get parking. I booked this hotel as it said there was parking but when I got there the cr park was full as they had an event there and the event attendees took the parking so the hotel guest were unable to use. Overall terrible expense. I hear the parkgate is a better hotel

Standard room reasonable facilities. However, started on the wrong note when we arrived just after 2pm, were told our room was ready but if we wanted to check in there would be a £10 extra charge. Why? It didn’t cost the hotel anything to allow us to check in at that time as room was already ready. Put us off straight away before we even got into the room.
