Great location

Great location. Within waking distance of lots of restaurants, shops, bars, train stations and buses. Bit noisy at night but thats because it is so close to the night life. Rooms were warm as it was a heat wave when we visited and no fan or air-con but we enjoyed our stay dispite this. Staff are really friendly and helpful. I would stay here again

Clean, reasonable, basic accommodation

Clean basic accommodation. Triple and twin rooms were ideal for a lads weekend where all you’re bothered about is a clean bed and a shower. Only thing that wasn’t clear beforehand was the requirement for a security deposit (possibly because we were a group of lads clearly out on a weekend on the sesh) - not an issue but should have been made clear when booking

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I will start by saying it is a 1-star hotel. It's in a horrible condition. The ceiling of our room was all cracked and leaking during a rain storm. We got moved to another room, but it was equally delapidated. The bathroom mirror shelf was broken, cold water faucet was giving only the thinest, unusable flow of water, the towel rack was broken or turned off, the radiator was disgusting and rusty. I can't describe how inadequate the beds were - virtually no matress and the pillows you only imagine in middle ages. The worst was the manager who barged into our room in the morning wgen we were still asleep.to confront us about negative check-in comments we left on Expedia.

The reception was pleasant and professional, the room was spotless and everything worked; on the other hand, the doors and the corridors felt shabby and the room was very noisy from the local disco.

Great for night out in Glasgow!

Clean but somewhat dated room. Ideal for just night sleep after night out. Central location for nightlife. Comfortable sleep despite hearing noise of nightclub across the road.

Very basic but dark room

We arrived at hotel, very close to shopping which was good, But was right next to a noisy nightclub, room was okay a bit dark lighting wasn’t great when your trying to put make up on, bathroom mirror light did not work, didn’t go for breakfast, as not sure what to expect, with the room we had, it’s a basic place to stay if your on a tight budget, i stayed for 3 nights with my hubby and daughter, we had same towels, that was given when we arrived until we left, no staff would enter the room until we handed keys back which was good. As no one would be able to snoop in your personal belongings. I won’t be returning as the noisy night club, and very basic kind of dark room we had has put me and my husband off. Room in general was clean,

Comfortable

Comfortable and central hotel, looks lovely from outside and the magical spiral staircase looks like a castle. However the stay started off disappointing when upon checking in I enquired about timings and location for breakfast, and was told there was none, despite it being advertised and included in the room price. The room was basic and comfortable but very dated and dust everywhere.

More like a hostel

The room looked more like a hostel than a hotel. We chose it because it offered breakfast & we had a busy schedule so would have saved us looking round for a place to eat. When we asked about the breakfast time we were informed they aren’t offering breakfast due to covid. The hallway stank of cigarette smoke the window sills had cigarette ends on them. The whole place was disgusting. It ruined our stay.

Bad review !

Staff were rude and contradicted themselves when trying to con us for £25 as we were 6 minutes late checking out. Ended up bartering with us and we settled for £10 which no doubt went straight in his back pocket
