Excellent location and well appointed
Gantastic apartments to stay in, great location and very well appointed with everything you would need.
The only downside is that the pillows are very flat and hard, this may be your preference, but did make for a slightly stiff neck in the morning!!

uncomfy bed but would stay again
our stay was great! instructions were easy and the room was lovely! However the bed was personally pretty uncomfortable:/ Pillows were flat and mattress was rock solid - nothing that can’t be fixed with a nice thick mattress topper though !

Loved it, location is truly hard to beat. 2 mins from Glasgow queen st, stones throw to the subway and right in Buchanan st. Only thing I would change is the bed size, it was a little small for me and my girlfriend (I fell out twice lol)

Nice modern place convienantly located in Glasglow.
Our unit was on the top floor and there was no lift so lugging our heavy suitcase up wasn’t ideal. Need more dishwasher pods and larger pots (as we cook) would be nice.
We would stay here again.

The current ‘Exceptional’ rating was an overstatement and misdleading in my opinion. The location was prime, close to the city center and easy access to public transportation. Unfortunately, the following were my concerns:
Stinks of smoke (not sure if this is coming from outside)
-Loud noise from the strret
-Rust in shower
-clogged drain in the shower
-Mold in washer
-Hair and stains on bedsheet
I know I shouldn’t be expecting 5 star quality but the exceptional rating definitely caught me off guard.

Very nice, we enjoyed the place. Only negative is no elevator, and there’s a ground floor and a first floor, so you have to lug your luggage up the stairs.

The location of the apartment is great for shopping, travelling, eating out and as a general base to explore from. There was no lift and we had quite a bulky case for an onward holiday so it was a bit awkward. Ideal for an overnight stay but quite odd sleeping in the kitchen. Didn’t receive communication (yes I did check my span) until I contacted the property. Everything was clean and fine but not a place for a long weekend, overnight stay at best.

Better than a hotel, highly recommend!
Attending a concert, regular visitors to Glasgow, thought we would try a studio apartment instead of a hotel. What a difference in space (when I’m getting ready, hubby not sitting on end of bed with a face on!).
Really well finished, clean and with washing machine, dishwasher etc, to be honest I could have lived there. Superb location and bag storage too!
