Having lived in Cardiff for decades, I always thought the Raddison Blu looked smart. First time trying there and I was really disappointed. It's shabby, the room was really stark and overall it needs some attention. Reception was full of leaves and granted that the weather was a bit grim, but it gave a dreadful first impression. The room was very disappointing - painted blue and really really stark. Huge bed (two singles pushed together) a desk and some weird little table - all furniture was bashed and scratched and the room was a very odd layout. The bathroom was decent (and made the room look worse because it was quite modern) but the shower door wouldn't stay closed so the floor was sopping wet. Despite the website saying that every room had a hairdryer, I had to ring reception to request one. The bed wasn't too bad but they have to be the worst pillows I've ever slept on - hard doesn't come close. Overall, I wouldn't stay there again and feel there are far better hotels in the area for the same money which were more welcoming, more modern and less bleak!
