The Spotlight on ML Lodge

Affordable Comfort Steps from Cardiff's Music Scene

Modern and no-fuss, ML Lodge puts you right in the heart of Cardiff’s energetic city centre. Located just off St Mary Street, this budget-friendly hotel is all about location—only a 2-minute walk from the iconic Millennium Stadium and surrounded by shops, bars, and nightlife. Rooms are simple yet comfortable, with en suite bathrooms, LCD TVs with Freeview, and free Wi-Fi throughout. While there’s no elevator across its five floors, the unbeatable proximity to everything Cardiff has to offer makes it a smart choice for music fans on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

ML Lodge is all about location, location, location. Whether you're heading to a stadium gig or a smaller city venue, you can walk there in minutes—no taxis or transit needed. Post-show, you're already in the heart of the nightlife, so grabbing a late-night bite or drink is easy. Despite its lively surroundings, the hotel itself is relatively quiet inside, giving you a chance to wind down after the show. Check-in from 3:00pm and check-out at 11:00am allow decent flexibility for concert schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-cost base near nightlife and venues
  • Solo travelers heading to see a bucket-list artist
  • Couples making a weekend of music and city exploring
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space—rooms are basic but peaceful
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want to stay central without the hefty price tag

Food and Drink Options

While ML Lodge doesn't have an on-site restaurant, its location more than makes up for it. Step outside and you’ll find plenty of walkable eateries, late-night takeaways, and cafés serving breakfast all day. There’s no room service, but the central location means you’re never far from your next meal.

Nightlife Options

You're in the thick of it—Cardiff’s nightlife is right outside your door. From live music bars to late-night pubs and stylish cocktail lounges, you’ve got options. While ML Lodge itself doesn’t have a bar, the surrounding streets are packed with venues where you can keep the party going or just chill with a local craft beer.

What People Say

Guests love the excellent location and great value for money. The proximity to the stadium and central nightlife is a huge win for concert-goers. Many also comment on the cleanliness of the rooms and the friendly staff. It's not fancy, but it gets the job done for a fun night out in the city.

Areas for Improvement

Be prepared for a workout—there’s no elevator, and rooms can be on upper floors. Some guests mention the stairs as a downside, especially after a long night. The decor is a bit basic and there are no frills, but for the price and location, most find it a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you’re chasing great gigs and nights out in Cardiff, ML Lodge offers a clean, central, and budget-friendly stay just steps from the action.

Paradise in the city centre

Liked: The bedsheets and towels were great. The room was fresh. Shower good. Room size good. Good hand-wash and toiletries. Privacy good.
Disliked: Change the carpets in the corridors and steps. Room carpets can be better. Let them be smart and clean. Toilet seat with a stained bottom not good. Can be bleached to be totally white. Bathroom floor bad colour. Furniture too old. TV not good. Long climb for old bones. The wrapping on the keys looks bad.

Would not stay here again.

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: The room smelt, the owners claim they couldn't smell anything, tried to air it out but it only got worse and the stairs were beyond 'a little steep'. I felt so uncomfortable in the room I ended up finding a new hotel for both nights.

Convenient was the bonny good...

Liked: The property was in desperate need of updating. The bedding was clean but didn't dare look at the mattress. The walls were badly marked and the carpets were filthy. Furniture was stained and the bathroom well apart from the toilet and to brush my teeth I couldn't bare the thought of using it.
Disliked: Decorating, new furniture, update.

Pleasant

Liked: The accommodation was very basic, it was what you would expect for the price. Parking was a bit of a challenge on arrival but okay once you knew where to go. No free parking unfortunately. Location though was excellent.
