The staff were so nice to us, we brought our dog last minute and that was seamless, jus paid £10 and she was welcomed and fussed over. When I arrived to check in I explained I had come down with the cold and asked if the room had a bath, they moved us around to a different room to make sure I could have a soak in the tub, were super friendly and thoughtful. The room was lovely and location excellent for us going to see a show at the Kings Theatre along the road.

I stayed here for two nights. The rooms are a good size, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The location is excellent, quick access to the city centre, with plenty of pubs and restaurants just around the corner. All staff members were very friendly. I would happily stay here again!

Lady on reception was lovely and saw to us quickly.
The room was okay and had everything we needed. Decor was a little tired.
There was a strange smell in reception and then the lifts.

Great city centre location, easy walking distance to main shopping areas & queens square train station. Could walk to OVO & SEC on a decent day, but due to heavy rain we didn’t and got taxi. Ordered via hotel waited no longer than 5 mins and was £10. Room was spacious 2 double beds, toilet separate from Bathroom, great idea! Room was warm in night. Never had breakfast but did order pizza one night, delicious if a bit expensive. Front desk staff all very very friendly, welcoming and helped us with lots of questions. Would definitely stay again if In Glasgow

Staff were welcoming and helpful and a nice bar area. However the rooms are very dated, chipped furniture, grubby carpets and the toilet 'cupboard'. My husband couldn't even close the door when using the toilet. Lovely shower but added to a dated bathroom.

Lovely clean room. I tried to change my booking online (from an accessible room which I don’t need) but was unable to do so.
Caitlin at reception sorted this out with no fuss.
Very little interaction with other staff but everyone seemed pleasant.

The hotel was clean, the staff was very nice and we really enjoyed our stay. We signed up for their app and we enjoyed a complimentary drink. The location was close to everything and I would choose this hotel on my next visit. We also took advantage of their buffet breakfast…well worth the money.
