The front of the hotel is appealing and safely hidden from the main street. The complimentary traditional Scottish breakfast was good. The only real problem was the bed- which was basically a long high mound in the middle, slipping down to shallow valleys on either side, like a topographical map. Shops and food are a short walk away. The nearest subway stations are about a 5-8 minute walk.

This property is within walking distance to all of the major sites. The staff is friendly and quite helpful. Their is no AC, so summer will be warm. But otherwise, excellent single bed, suite and location.

Last minute booking for a spontaneous stay in Glasgow, this hotel provided the convenient location and 24 hour access I needed. Room was quirky. One of the downstairs rooms. Bed was very comfortable. The shower room was small and not easy to move around in and close the door to the shower but for the price and last minute I really can’t complain. My room was directly under reception and I found it noisy with early risers coming and going. I would use this hotel again but maybe book further in advance and get one of the upstairs rooms which look lovely and comfortable on their website

Staff was great and the breakfast was great. Room was clean. My only negative was the bed. I could feel the springs and it was uncomfortable. The comforter was also too short so if I were to lay straight my feet would not be covered.

Good place, be wary of soundproofing & no car park

Wasn’t made aware that you don’t have to pay for street parking outside before the stay, unsure if this was missed on the listing or not. Overnight, me and my friend heard loud noises coming from our window on the ground floor, although there was a courtyard below the window. Told reception about it and found there was a ladder leading up to the windows so asked for this to removed. Around 6am sounded as if someone was trying our door for a few seconds, could’ve been a mistake but ultimately made the stay uncomfortable for us due to the noises waking us up. The soundproofing of the door and for the room above and possibly below was not good either. Very good location, modern style, everything worked as should and beds were comfortable, just unfortunate that we had a bad experience, which I’m sure on another night may not have happened.

For the price we paid excellent place, close to the westend for visiting son at uni. Room was clean and well equipped. Cons - bed too small and uncomfortable, also parking is an issue. The car park the hotel mention (Ashton road) is not actually free. Drove to Kirklee road through Botanical gardens which is 10 min walk away
