Accommodation was relatively easy to find.. Booking in was unusual as I had to check in at the India restaurant apposite the accommodation. Staff very friendly. Room spacious and clean. Comfortable beds. Toilet clean and tidy. Yes/coffee facility available. A bit noisy during the evening with the pub being below the accommodation but not a major issue. Reasonable priced... Now that I know the setup .Yes Id probably stay again..

It was a nice ensuite room, it was clean but amenities were not good, TV was not working, Internet was slow. Although there were complementary tea and coffee was provided but the electric kettle was not working properly. Bathroom was clean and amenities were placed in. Overall it was not bad in such a low price.

We enjoyed our stay - the room was large and spacious, however it would have been helpful to have a small fridge. We stayed for the week but the first night seemed to be karaoke night, so it was on the loud side until about midnight All in all the space was great

More info needed

A perfectly good stay. Good location for what we wanted and good price. Check in was a problem which with good comms should’ve been fine. So if you are staying - both parking and check-in are over the road in the “spice” restaurant. Our room was exactly the one in the picture. Basic, clean and did the job.

What a pleasant surprise as it was not what I expected. Check in across the road at an enticing Indian Restaurant - able to safely park car in the Restaurant Car Park - room was very clean, comfortable bed, great shower, larger than usual TV. Room looked out on a busy dual carriageway but noise limited by glazed window and noise from pub downstairs was bearable and ended at closing time. Pricing was incredible. Will definitely be back.

Nice place for a night.

Simple and inexpensive place to stay the night. The check in was across the street--inconvenient if it is raining. The pub downstairs was kind enough to hold my luggage while I ran over. This place was very clean with plenty of hot water, fresh towels, an electric kettle with coffee/tea. It was warm and the window opened easily for a little ventilation. The television had multiple options and worked great. The internet, however, did not work, but that didn't inconvenience me. One thing--the pub downstairs has karaoke on Friday nights, and it's LOUD. Like shake the floors loud. If you are out late, or want to go downstairs and participate (very nice patrons and staff) it won't be a bother, but it was LOUD. There is a bus stop just outside where the 255 runs and will take you into central Glasgow.

Ok in all aspects apart from the 11pm karaoke

This stay was perfectly fine on most points. Really. Stayed 2 nights. Nice and accessible from Hamilton West. First night fine. Nice staff welcome. Room perfectly nice to sleep in. Bathroom clean. Kettle and tea making materials. All good and just what was needed. Have stayed above pubs a lot and know what to expect generally. The first night was fine. Got to bed sometime before 12 and able to sleep well before work. Upon getting back on the 2nd night noticed some noise from below. That’s fine and completely understandable. Some sort of quiz night and a bit of chatter. Music etc. I put my iPad on, headphones etc. Things seemed to be winding down so got my head down. Then all of a sudden the music started really cranking up getting towards 11 O clock. Someone got on the mic - I actually like the tunes and the first vocalist had a fairly good voice. However the volume just kept getting louder and louder and louder. It was directly underneath and may as well been in the room. Other people with less ability and more alcoholic impairment got on the mic. This is at 11:30 by this point. It has gone from passable to really quite irritating and no idea of when it might stop. The main singer kept saying towards the last tune that it would be the last one and it was time to go. This happened about ten times. Each time there had been a pause and some quiet with a suggestion that all was finished. It stopped being funny at that point. Finally got to sleep by 1am. Shame!

Be aware if booking that there is no parking on site. You have to go to another property on the other side of the dual carriageway to collect your key and park your car. This isn’t made clear in the listing. If like me you have a lot of work stuff to carry back to your accommodation, it isn’t really suitable. I tried to contact the owners numerous times and had no response. Hotels.com also tried to contact them numerous times regarding a refund but couldn’t get hold of them. I had to pay for another accommodation for the night.

Comfy bed

The biggest issue was slamming doors from rooms & the outside pub door was under our room was going all night music banging .But most noise from other people in rooms.should be a sign to be considerate to other guests. Also label keys better as someone putting keys in our door then constantly trying to get in until I went to door to tell him.No hot water for shower in morning . Plenty of coffees left in room though

A convenient place to stay the night to break my journey from south of England to central Scotland. An unremarkable but adequate room in an unremarkable place. More noise (pub and traffic) than I'm used to
