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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
