Reviews and Ratings
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and the double bed was incredibly comfortable. The service, especially from the housekeeping staff, was top-notch. The location was perfect for exploring Glasgow, close to all the action. The dining options were decent, but I found better breakfast deals nearby. Overall, a great value for a memorable trip.
I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The room was nothing like advertised and felt more like a hostel. It was a complete waste of money, and I had to leave after just half an hour. The service was also subpar, adding to the disappointment of ruining my stay in the city. Definitely not worth it.
The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to access public transport and within walking distance of popular Glasgow sites, restaurants, and the train station. The rooms, while cozy, provide the essentials for a short stay. The service from the staff is welcoming and efficient. The dining options are varied, catering to different tastes at affordable prices. However, some may find the rooms a bit small, and the lack of air conditioning could be uncomfortable during warm weather.
The hotel is in a very central location, just steps away from Charing Cross train station and close to many restaurants and shops. The room could have been cooler as the radiators were on and it was rather hot despite turning off the central heating. Service was accommodating and helpful. The dining experience was decent, although with room for improvement. A convenient spot in Glasgow for exploring the city.
Unfortunately, there was no tea or coffee in the room, the TV didn't work, and the carpets had visible stains. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful, but guests had to pay for tea and coffee at reception, and there was only one pillow provided per person.
The hotel was pleasant with clean and fresh rooms, but some noise from nearby sources affected the stay. The breakfast area was lively in the mornings. The location was convenient, close to various amenities, but with rough parking options. The dining experience was satisfactory overall, with occasional extra charges. Service was friendly and efficient, with some inconveniences related to door access during a snowstorm.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city, close to great shopping, cafes, bars, and restaurants, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms were quite small and noise from the lane way was bothersome, but having a fridge was a nice addition. The service was a bit mixed, with some staff being very nice and helpful while others seemed a bit rude. The dining experience was satisfactory, especially with the efficient and friendly gentleman on duty, but could have been better. Overall, the hotel offers a good value for the price paid.
The hotel is ideally located with plenty of shopping, cafes, bars, and restaurants nearby. It offers a decent 10-minute walk to the center, making it convenient for exploring. While the ambiance was a bit noisy due to construction work in the vicinity, the British style and proximity to the Hop-on Hop-off bus stop added to the overall appeal.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was small and had some issues like being stuffy and drafty, the location was perfect for the theatre visit I had planned. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even providing extra amenities upon request. However, the dining options were disappointing, and the noise from ongoing roadworks was a downside during the day.
The hotel had a warm and cozy room for December stays, but the small size made it a bit challenging to move around. The bathroom was new but not at an executive standard. The service was incredibly helpful and kind, although a residents bar would have been a nice addition. The location was perfect for exploring Glasgow, very convenient to transportation but a bit of a walk to certain attractions. The dining experience was mostly very good with lots of choices, but some issues with the bathroom layout. Overall, a very comfortable and clean hotel with exceptional staff and good value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center and close to the Hydro, making it easy to explore the area on foot. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings, but they can feel a bit cold at times. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly, although the Wi-Fi signal could be improved to avoid overcrowding in the common areas. Dining offers a decent selection, with a few items possibly overpriced, but the quality overall is good. The location is central but may need some refurbishing for added comfort.
The hotel had cozy rooms that were beautifully finished and clean, though a bit dark during the day; however, opening the windows helped. The service was excellent, with friendly staff willing to assist with various requests. Its location near the city center was convenient, making exploring easy. The dining options were good, with a decent selection available despite current limitations. Overall, it offered great value for the price paid.
