Very compact room works for a solo guest but couples might request one of the larger rooms. Excellent staff, very clean, moderate price. Super linens and towels but a little spare on shower and bath extras...soaps, lotions, etc and so make sure to bring your own. Great location next to beautiful Kelvingrove Park and Univ of Glasgow.
