We have stayed here about 8 or 9 times. It is our hotel of choice every time we travel to Glasgow. There is nothing to dislike about this hotel. It is central to everything. It is clean, spacious, quiet, and the staff are very accommodating, friendly and helpful.

There is nothing to dislike.

Dårlig morgenmad og god beliggenhed
Pros:

Dejligt roligt på hotellet - og super centralt beliggende.

Cons:

Morgenmaden var helt igennem ringe. Det lille udvalg der var, var ikke værd at give sig i kast med. Sengen var ukomfortabel og ligget i stykker så man lå et hul.

Pros:

A clean hotel with everything you need and a lot of space in the room. Kind and helpful staff! The breakfast was also with everything you need.

Cons:

The area of the hotel are not that charming and the same with the area where you eat breakfast. For example some of the windows were totally covered with frosted film and that doesn’t create a nice and cozy atmosphere. But we can’t complain on the more important things!
