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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Check in late only to find out that the light in my room was not working. First impression is already bad. Small room, broken window, dirty walls, water in the bathroom difficult to navigate (too hot or too cold). When I complained and asked for a refund due to the light, they accused me of using the bathroom, which I fairly used for washing face. Surely not caring for the guests. Will surely NOT come back, and I'd like to say: DO NOT stay here. You will not have proper greeting and service.

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.

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.
