Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
No major cleanliness complaints mentioned; rooms described as 'tired' but not explicitly dirty—standard cleanliness for this hotel tier.
Service
7.8
Mixed but generally positive: several reports of very friendly/helpful staff (check-in, late-night friendliness, special romantic room set-up), counterbalanced by instances of curt/unfriendly reception and unresponsive bar/room service.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised: excellent west end location, next to the Botanic Gardens and close to the subway—frequent positive highlight in reviews.
Room Quality
5.8
Multiple reports of tired décor and maintenance issues (jaunty toilet seat, shower tap breaking, empty fridge shell, frayed duvet cover, plumbing outage) indicate below-par room condition.
Amenities
7.1
Breakfast and parking noted positively, but several in-room amenity failures (broken coffee machine, extractor fan, fridge) and unreliable late-night room service lowered the score.
Value for Money
7.2
Mixed sentiment: some guests found pricing reasonable (e.g., during events), others felt overcharged for the level of maintenance and service experienced.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast consistently praised as 'great'; however, issues with late-night ordering/room service and unresponsive bar staff tempered the score.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall a positive stay driven by location, friendly moments from staff, and good breakfast, but hampered by dated rooms and intermittent service/maintenance problems.

Very nice property but room had smoke smell
Pros:

Location is perfect. Subway a couple blocks away, grocery store next door (no fridge in room). Plenty of cafes and restaurants. Spacious room. Good amenities. Comfortable bed. Side street entrance easy to load in/out

Cons:

Smoke smell upon entering. As a non-smoker that’s a big turn off and it’s hard to feel clean, the smell is in all the fabrics. Had to buy febreez and air fresheners. WiFi is terrible, cuts off frequently.

Would not return (particularly during hot weather).
Pros:

Location is good

Cons:

Price was ridiculous for a hotel without air-conditioned rooms in mid-summer. When we complained, we were told that ‘AC wasn’t usually provided in Scottish hotels’ (we live here and that is completely false). We were eventually provided with a fan, which didn’t work. Phone in room didn’t work, so we couldn’t call reception / housekeeping. All in all, not a good experience, particularly as hotel had apparently just been ‘renovated’.

Great location, but hotel rooms need a good clean and some maintenance.
Pros:

Great location for the West End. Decent breakfast. Opposite the Botanics on Great Western Road. Would have been a lovely hotel back in the day.

Cons:

It's expensive for what it is. Past its best, probably needs some investment. We paid £550 for 2 nights in a double room which had a broken sink and very dusty skirting boards. Couldn't get BBC1 or BBC2 on the TV, only STV. No Netflix, no Sky, no football. Staff were all nice, but we will stay somewhere else next time. Was just too expensive for what it was.

Great location, staff good but kitchen staff need to be a bit more attentive. It is not a cheap venue and I would expect
Pros:

Location was fab. Rooms were large. The staff ere mostly helpful and pleasant

Cons:

Rooms were generally comfortable. Pillows were too hard but I couldn’t get them changed. The cooking during breakfast was hit and miss sometimes having to wait for 10 minutes for eggs to be ready - chef not keeping an eye on flow of food. However the quality of the food was good

Brilliant location but expect more quality furnishings and noise reduction given it used to be a 5 star hotel in the wes
Pros:

Location perfect

Cons:

Quite basic for the price paid. Walls paper thin so can be noisy

Could have been better.
Pros:

The location was good for our needs..
Room clean and tidy on arrival.
Pleasant staff overall.
Good buffet breakfast. Porridge was not advertised but was kindly made on request.

Cons:

Our room number 235 had a toilet which would not fill or flush properly.
This was reported to reception on the first evening, Thursday.
This became more problematic and on Saturday morning was reported again, before we left for the day. We were by this time using the plastic bucket from the bathroom with tap water to flush.
We returned around 9pm to find that the toilet was still faulty and, to cap it all, the room had not even been serviced.
Had we not been out and about most of the time, a different room would have been requested. We were not offered that option at any time.

Disappointing
Pros:

Comfortable

Cons:

Breakfast…Poor fruit selection, only melon and bananas
Eggs.. covered in cress and pepper. Bacon etc overdone… obviously cooked a long time before.
Size of glasses in the room and staff unwilling to give us others. This was rescued by a man on reception.

Pros:

Zaangażowanie i życzliwość personelu w recepcji.

Cons:

mało urozmaicone śniadania. Na niedzielne śniadanie zszedłem pół godziny po oficjalnym terminie otwarcia hotelowej restauracji. Większości personelu nie było w pracy, podobnie niedostępne były śniadaniowe dania.
Przy zameldowaniu się znalazłem pobieżnie sprzątnięty pokój, z resztkami śmieci.

Pleasant and helpful staff but adjacent areas noisy
Pros:

Staff were very helpful and friendly

Cons:

Side of hotel we were located on overlooked Waitrose and its loading bay. Woken to delivery trucks at 5:30am, banging pallets/cages and workers talking loudly amongst themselves.

Wasn’t a restful nights sleep, disappointingly!

No air con in room which made it uncomfortable
