Great location and a great price compared to other hotels in Glasgow. Was perfect to explore the city centre and also the west end. Rooms were very nice and comfy.
Emilie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was all quite basic and dated. Both the shower and the sink didn’t drain, a few lights didn’t work. Limited plug sockets. We could hear the person next door snoring all night and then playing very loud music from 6am due to a door in the room, which presumably if unlocked would join the rooms together. However, the location was good, it was clean and the staff were nice.

Great but room too hot

Well placed hotel, looks good and service was great. The only downside was the temperature in the room as it was far too hot, there wasn't any air-conditioning and the one window wasn't sufficient to cool it down.

farhana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was spotless. Staff were very friendly. Great location for shops and the theatre. Lovely family room. Great breakfast. If we had one complaint it would be the price of the alcohol. £11 for a glass of wine is a bit excessive. We get that it's city prices and the hotel is of a high standard but that's just too pricey. We decided to go out rather than pay that price. We also spent the rest of the time in our room having bought a bottle of wine for a lot less money. We would've preferred to drink in the hotel but not at that price. Such a shame. None the less we enjoyed our stay.
Lesley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Close to Theatre, friendly staff, ok room

Although they have notices up to warn clients there are renovation works in progress, I wasn’t expecting a workman to just let himself into my room! (thankfully I was fully clothed!) I didn’t request 3 beds in the room & it was a bit tight to squeeze past the wall to get into the double, (room is not big enough for double & twin combo). Bed was ok, not the most comfortable. Toilet separate to washroom/shower, very old, scruffy and in need of this upgrade. Car park in the basement was really useful (£8) Staff were lovely & helpful. Overall for one night, 5min walking distance to The Kings Theatre, I would stay here again, but ask for a more suitable room (hopefully a renovated one!)
