Pros:

Desk was nice to work on. Felt warm and settled in easily. Kind receptionist. Also well located near shops/Kelvingrove Park/fancy West End bars if that's your thing

Cons:

Sheets were a bit plasticky, got a bit uncomfortable 2nd night. Floor had a bump in it - not a problem for me but maybe for someone with a wheelchair.

Do not recommend
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Not Recommended
The check-in process was fine, but unfortunately, the hygiene and overall conditions did not meet my expectations for the price. I found a spider in the room and noticed hair in the bathroom and on the pillow, which was unpleasant.
The main issue, however, was the temperature in the room. The radiator operated on a timer, and the room stayed around 15°C, which felt very cold for the winter season. I informed the reception about this on the first day, but I was told the heating would only turn on a few hours later. For most of my stay, the radiator remained off, and I felt quite cold, especially after showering.
The building itself is old and not well soundproofed — I could easily hear my neighbors talking, and unfortunately, the person in the next room snored loudly, making it difficult to sleep.
There was also no refrigerator, which made the stay less convenient.
Overall, I did not feel comfortable and believe the experience did not justify the price.
On the bright side — the spider has been safely released.
