ML Lodge

Everything was good except the room was cold. Heating could be better. Close to all conveniences.

Clean tidy room. Great for an overnight stay in the centre of Cardiff. We were on the top floor with 8 flights of stairs to conquer! Wasn’t an issue for us but no good if you have mobility problems

The stairs to the 4th floor are gruelling- and there is no warning so if you had mobility or health issues this would be a hazard.

The room was really nice but it could do with some secondary glazing as the noise from the busy street could be heard clearly. Would expect some on a Friday evening, but be nice if it's effects were reduced. The tv could do with tuning, but then again I wasn't there to stay indoors!!!

Having to climb 52 stairs to the bedroom after a belly full of beer was not so easy, but the room was clean and acceptable.

our room was at the front of the hotel right in the heart of a street filled with clubs and bars, wooden windows meant no noise was kept out so don't expect to get any sleep with the shouting, fights, screaming and breaking glass. If you do mange to sleep you will be woken by the street urchins that camp out opposite in the morning shouting down the street to another one cos that easier than walking down and talking to them. You need to go to another hotel opposite to check in as there is no reception here. Have to pay refundable £20 or leave some id to acquire your room key,lots of stairs to keep you fit as no lift. Plus side the room was spacious, the bed comfortable, clean, you do iron and board as well as a hairdryer in the room, rare nowadays. bathroom was a good size it is a box shower but it worked properly(not just a trickle of water) maybe could do with a slightly larger TV for the distance of watching and checking wall heaters would be a bonus as ours did not work so the room was freezing. We were only there due to a show that was on in the arena. My overall experience of first time to Cardiff has not inspired me to want to revisit it.

Mistake we made was that this central location would be convienient. The trade off was a room which was not double glazed situated above the taxi rank. The tooting of taxi horns till 4.30 in the morning and general crowd noise outweighed the location. The 1 1/2 hrs peace before the council vehicles started their clean up at 6am did not make up for this. Have cancelled our next stay in 2 weeks time in favour of the mile walk and a good nights sleep.

Rooms are basic but clean. No lift, which is unfortunate if you're on the top floor and with heavy luggage! But it is one of the cheapest hotels in the centre of Cardiff.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
