We stayed in th Blu in mid December 2011. The location was perfect, opposite st. Davids shopping centre, which is also great and a stones throw from the Motorpoint arena (we were seeing Russell Howard) We thought parking would be an issue as had read other reviews about parking but it was fine, we arrived at 11:00am and there was...

I stayed here on business last week for 2 days and was given a Business Room on the 20th Floor with fantastic views across the city centre. The hotel is within walking distance of the train station and opposite the City Centre which has a good selection of high street and designer shops and loads of great places to drink... More

Had a weekend break with my mum in Cardiff. We chose this hotel because it's so close to the shops, and because the business class rooms allow breakfast in the room. My mum is disabled and uses a moblility scooter. I'd phoned the hotel beforehand to check on this – parking and access can be an issue. They were fantastic;... More

Good well proptioned rooms with some desk space and wifi. Breakfast service can be patchy at peak times (7:30) but the selection of food is good. Park in John Lewis across the road. More

Close to the John Lewis and St Davids Centre and everything else that is central Cardiff. Modern tall building with modern furnishing and bathrooms all done with style. Excellent for any city events and now that Cardiff has one of the best Christmas lights/atmosphere of any uk city with great shops, bars restaurants and events, well worth a visit. Staff... More

This hotel is in a great location and was perfect as my girlfriend and I wanted to do Christmas shopping in St David’s 2 (just across the road). The room had a great view over Cardiff bay and despite the usual Radisson colour clash was pretty reasonable. Unfortunately during check we had the misfortune of probably the most rude and... More

The Radisson Blu is a fairly new modern skyscraper hotel right in Cardiff City Centre next to the extended new St David's Centre. Perfect for a city break and shopping weekend. It is very close to Cardiff central railway station so much better to arrive by train than to drive as the hotel has very limited car parking space, which... More

Stayed here last weekend. Have stayed in Cardiff numerous times, so have been to most of the hotels in and around city centre. Car park is very small and expensive at £15 night. There was a sign saying car park full, but fortunately we were let in by dry cleaning van man, as we were blocking him getting in, so... More
