I was skeptical of this place being one of the cheapest places to stay, but I was not unimpressed. It’s an old building and they give you a key that you check in and out as you come and go if the day. It’s actually pretty smart. Upon checking in, the guy at the desk was very helpful and friendly and gave a few suggestions of places to walk to nearby and that was very helpful. The room was clean, the staff were friendly, and they cook you a breakfast each morning! They made me a full Scottish breakfast! This is a diamond in the rough and is close to The Kelvingrove museum and University! I give it like a 4.7 out of 5.

Room was brilliant, same with the staff and the breakfast was brilliant! Only thing I would maybe suggest is to have the breakfast room open for people who would like to do some work, as there was no desk in my room, but I’d definitely stay here again!

The staff were excellent, all very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked rather than the buffet style warmers you get in a lot of places. The room was small but that's all I needed, everything was clean and in good condition, excellent eateries around and easy walking distance to the SEC. Would stay again.

Such a great hotel - not fancy, but it’s got loads of character. It’s cosy, clean and the staff are always brilliant. The location’s perfect for museums, galleries, shops, bars and restaurants. I’ve stayed here a few times now and honestly wouldn’t book anywhere else in Glasgow.
