I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel is located close to some great bars & restaurants & within walking distance of the city centre attractions. The beautiful Botanic Gardens are next door.
I loved the hot buffet breakfast, it set me up for the day.
My bedroom had loads of space, high ceilings and a kettle with tea & coffee.
All in all good value for money.
There is no free parking outside the hotel but I found plenty within a 20 minute walk away. I will definitely return.

The room was clean and spacious. The hotel is well connected to the other parts of the city because it has subway stations nearby. The breakfast was very complete and a great deal for its price. There are many restaurants at a walking distance.

Good location in the West End of Glasgow, close to the Botanic Gardens and local restaurants. Good cooked breakfast. Room was small, small double bed and tiny bathroom. Room was basic and in need of some refurbishment. Overall hotel was ok for a short stay and cheaper than other hotels in Glasgow hoteGlasgow

The Room was small but it had everything that was required and it was clean. The two reception staff whom i talked with were cautious and polite, the breakfast was good and reception was helpful when i asked about buses. It is a 40min walk from Buchanan Bus Station but quite easy with google maps. The music venue Oran Mor just a five minute walk away also The Botanical Gardens just the same.

Was a good basic hotel for 2 nights. Nothing fancy. Room was clean and tidy. There were a couple of cosmetic details that should've been dealt with (wallpaper coming unstuck, a couple of bathroom floor tiles uneven, grout coming out). Bed was quite firm which I liked but the pillows were lumpy. Tea and coffee provided with an added touch of biscuits. Plenty of sockets and at least 2 usb ports.
Good choice available for breakfast, all help yourself. Cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, bread for continental and the usual fayre for a Scottish breakfast.
Plenty of shops, restaurants, pubs over the road and nearby. Close to the Botanic gardens and the Kelvingrove museum, both well worth a visit.

Bedding is thin & low quality. Room was very tired but shower room was newly installed Parking is on street at £4.50 per hour. Good price if you arrive by public transport rather than by car unless you want to park 500 metres away.

The room was adequate. Bedroom area was clean, although beds and bedding not very comfortable and the room never really got warm. The bathroom was very sparse, lighting was terrible and the shower bottom was moldy and the shower fixture had loose pieces. The staff was friendly and the location was great. Just needs finesse, maybe 1 thing on the wall…. Also, tv reception was pixelated except on 1 channel.

Friendly and efficient breakfast service. Great location for venues, bars and restaurants. Single room was nice despite the bathroom being a tight space. Duvet was thin and rather small but otherwise no issues. I'd stay here again for sure.
