Normal a cheap room doubled in price because of concerts. Over a gyros shop, which is has decent food and a discount for residents. Property is in need of redecoration , carpets etc… and can be noisy on the street side with single glazed windows. Shower leaked .. cold water tap loose .. tv remote not working ….a bit uncared for , BUT the bed and bedding was clean and towels ok. For a normal one night stay it’s ok

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.

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.

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.

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.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was truly awful and not at all worth the money we paid. The carpets throughout the hotel are destroyed and heavily stained. There were stains everywhere in the room, on the ironing board, floors and curtains. The room was unbearably hot with one fan which did nothing to cool it down. There was one window which again did nothing to cool the room down. The glasses left in the room were filthy and unusable, the kettle and the WiFi did not work. The bathroom smelt really strongly of the kebab shop downstairs. The bathroom door had no lock and when you shut the door it didn’t stay closed so would randomly open when you’re in the bathroom. We had to prop the bin up against it to keep it closed when in use. We had a terrible nights sleep on both nights as the window didn’t close so the loud noises from the bars kept us up until the early hours and then when the cleaning of the street happened this continued to be incredibly loud. Finally, there is a sign on the door stating ‘for your own security please ensure the door is locked correctly at all times’, this immediately made us question the security and safety of the hotel and wonder if this is a reoccurring issue with the hotel. We then experienced this first hand when someone tried to come into our room whilst we were inside and quickly left when we came to the door. I would not recommend this place to any traveller and recommend the hotel spend some money doing it up and sorting out their safety issues!

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.

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.

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.
