The hotel is in a convenient location, within walking distance to various eateries and shops. The rooms were spotlessly clean with a nice big shower. The friendly staff, especially Cathy, provided prompt and helpful service, though there was late-night noise. The dining options were abundant and tasty, and the facilities were fantastic. I plan to return despite considering paying more for a better room next time.

The hotel offers unexpectedly large and clean rooms that are spacious and comfortable. While the lack of hot water in the sink was a downside, the overall experience was satisfactory. The location is ideal for exploring Glasgow, with easy access to the subway, shops, and dining options. The service provided was a mix of friendly assistance and occasional rudeness. The dining experience, while generally good, could be slow during peak hours. The facilities were adequate but nothing exceptional.

The hotel is in a lovely part of Glasgow, near the uni and in a great location for exploring the city. The rooms, although a bit dated, didn't ruin the stay but could use some improvements.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were small but cozy, and despite being at the end of the hotel, they provided an excellent night's sleep. The staff was lovely, and the large bathroom and comfortable beds ensured a pleasant experience. However, accessing the room via steep, narrow stairs was a bit challenging, but overall, it was a delightful stay.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was spacious, but accessed by steep stairs. Despite being on my own due to my husband's illness, I felt safe and well taken care of. I enjoyed a restful night's sleep and a delicious Scottish breakfast in the morning. However, the water for the large corner bath was cold, and the shower pressure was weak which was a bit disappointing.
