To get the roles of the currently logged in user use:

Roles.GetRolesForUser()

You could create an HtmlHelper extension method that you could use in your views like this:

@Html.LoggedInMessage(User)

This would avoid having the if else logic in your views, but it is worth noting with your current logic that there may be an instance of users belonging to more than one role unless this is restricted from your system.

public static MvcHtmlString LoggedInMessage(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, IPrincipal user)
{
    var tb = new TagBuilder("span");
    if (user.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
    {
       if(user.IsInRole("Admin"))
       {
            tb.SetInnerText("Admin Login Successfull");
       }
       else if(user.IsInRole("OtherRole"))
       {
            tb.SetInnerText("User Login Successfull");
       }  
    }
    return new MvcHtmlString(tb.ToString());
}
