10/10 Exceptional

Great cheap place to stay at for cheap, right in the Center next to everything
Francis, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The worst hotel in Cardiff (worse than my tent)

This has to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The check in was in a neighbouring Greek Gyro take away and that should have told me something about what was ahead! My room was 99 steps up, through dirty and threadbare carpet! The place needs a complete renovation it’s really disgusting. I had been camping in my tent for the prior 5 nights and seriously thought about leaving and doing another night in the tent but I really need a shower. Almost everything in the room was dirty, stained or broken, often all three!!
Gordon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Brilliant location and especially for the price. Clean and comfortable would stay again.
Yolande, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not very good

Grotty room. Many stairs with borderline dangerous badly worn carpet. Check in and the people were good but the room was disappointing. The window has broken glass which is repaired with tape. Mould in the room. Chair is in dangerous condition. Badly in need of a refit before a serious accident happens. Would I book again? NO!!!. For the cost of the room I feel it's too expensive as there are better options locally for a similar price.
Adrian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Walking distance from train station, castle, great pubs and restaurants. Rooms spacious and had everything you needed. Beds and pillows comfy but could have done with and extra blanket or two. Would definitely stay again.
Leonard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check-in was very easy. Room had everything i needed - suiltable for one or two nights stay in Cardiff. Located in the centre of Cardiff but very quiet from my room.
Mandy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It is a budget venue and it is good value for the cost. It is basic lodging with a lot of stairs. The hotel was smaller than I expected but the rooms were a good size.

Was nice cheap so didn't expect much
Lee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent stay for what I paid. The location is great and right in the city centre and not far from the bus station as well as the train station. Slight smell of cigarette smoke on the bedding but apart from that it was a comfortable stay.
Nikul, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Needed a bed for the night and thst was it.Basic but functional.Was quiet enough to sleep in city centrevlocation Check in/ out a breeze.Helpful,friendly staff in Gyros downstairs Would stay again.
Barrie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This property was totally unsuitable for us. We are both in our 70's. There were 3 flights of stairs and no lift. The Stairwell carpets were worn and threadbare and a trip hazard. There was no Reception and the Keys had to be picked up from the Gyros Shop next door.
Ian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Right in the heart of the walking route. It was loud at night and in the morning. Parking was expensive but the discount rate we received was generous. Large spacious room
Joelle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

ideal for friends

ideal as there were 4 of us so we all atayed together. fairly clean, did notice however stains on the curtains (sound petty but it what was noticed) didn't affect our time in Cardiff though.

Walking distance for central Cardiff
Mandie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Was easy enough to find, right in the centre of Cardiff. 5 minutes from the Principality Stadium. Very comfy bed. Slept well. 77 steps up to the room. With a suitcase, arthritic knees and COPD it was a hike. No water in the morning. Couldnt have a shower or make a drink.
Stuart, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is perfect, rooms are totally OK but atrociously slow and unstable wifi signal ruins everything
Petr, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good if you want to party

Went for the wrestling with friends. Really convenient as it is right in the Main Street but…it is right on the Main Street so it is LOUD. With a group of friends out on the lash it’s perfect. Family intending to sleep maybe not but I found it comfortable and a great place to use as a base to enjoy the nightlife.
Lawrence, 1-night trip

Excellent location with disappointing condition. Carpets should be replaced, at least.

6/10 Good

ML Lodge

Convenient location but room was FREEZING with only single pane windows, a closet I could not use because it was smelling so bad of stale cigarette smoke, AWFUL decor and a bathroom I did not want to use because it was so scruffy and dirty feeling.
Oliver, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fairly large room, good view of the town, central location. Plenty of tea, coffee, milk, kettle in room. even an iron and ironing board. The TV was small but worked well. Access is via a long staircase over 3 floors pending on which room you get, best to travel light or it can be bit of a haul. We have used ML lodge before and would use it again, its great value for money. One tip, lock your door from inside/outside as it does not lock automatically on closure to avoid unexpected interruptions or being turned over if you go out.
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The door to the toilet didn’t close. I don’t mind, but you should know there are no elevators; there were 58 steps to reach our room. It was good for the price, and excellent location for nightlife and shopping; a decent walk to the waterfront where I enjoyed looking at several species of birds.
Barbara, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

My room was on the top floor and was unacceptably freezing cold. I did call, and an hour later was brought a small space heater, which only slightly helped, while sleeping in my winter jacket and using the comforters on both beds…luckily had a room with 2 beds. Went for cheapest option, and guess you get what you pay for, but still feel I paid too much to feel like I was sleeping outside.

Room review

Basic room with en-suite. Check in via the kebab shop went well!! Stair area was shabby but seemed clean. The room had all of the necessities (tea/coffee making facilities, TV, shower gel, toilet paper) and the bed was comfy and sheets seemed clean. The room itself was also shabby. The window frames haven’t been touched for years. The decorating likewise. There was a peeling poster on the wall and cracks all over the place. It was just very, very tired. But it was only £38 for the night and I only needed a comfy bed and a shower in the morning so it ticked those boxes.
