The room was large, very clean, however it was freezing, no heating in the bathroom either. Check in was a nightmare, issues with the IT system, caused double bookings, staff were floundering about didnt have a clue how to deal with the ever growing guests arriving to check in. They didnt tell us what the issue was, we only found out due to a frustrated guest. It was on par with a delayed flight with no information. I ended up packing up and going home after spending 2 hours freezing in the room. Driving around Cardiff, the hotel was hard tonfind the parking is tucked in off the main road you wouldnt know it was there unless you had been before, not well sign posted at all. I ended up parking in St Mary's car park, which was a good 5 minute walk from the hotel. All in all it was a very stressful day/evening and I wouldnt put myself through it again.

For the price we paid for the room we were disappointed. Looks old and not cosy. The bed is terrible, didn’t sleep well. The bathroom sink had a drainage issue. Premier Inn down the road is so much better so we won’t be using Radisson again

Maintenance issues in the room - the Aircon, though turned off, was making loud noises throughout the night... resulting in a very poor night's sleep. The standard of the fittings in the room wasn't good, the table was so stained and marked - it looked like it had been stood outside and used as a garden table.

Wasn’t the cleanest (mainly bathroom, especially extractor), very marked headboard, sheets didn’t really fit the bed, chunk of carpet missing by cupboards, safe broken, faux leather furniture showing a lot of wear, impersonal check out experience, small amount of tea/coffee in room but well rectified by team, poor tv channel selection Wasn’t an unenjoyable experience but wouldn’t be rushing back to stay again

Two little complaints: automatic door closer mechanism stopped wardrobe door opening fully and therefore access to drawers in our room. And the lead on the hair dryer was too short to allow us to look in a mirror during its use. But those are just little moans. We had a lovely time, all told. Staff were great and very helpful, breakfast was ample, bed was very comfortable, and the view from the 15th floor was great. Also excellent location for the railway station and for the town centre.

Room neglected. Mix of furniture, stains on the carpet, Check in, shambles. Only one person on the desk, person in front had an issue, took over 20mins to get sorted. Breakfast also poor, cheap produce. Car park a joke, only one way in and one way out, when we arrived2 x cars leaving, it was like a Mexican Standoff. Shambolic
