It was everything I needed for a 1 night stay - comfortable, central and a good breakfast!
Pros:

Very comfortable bed. Friendly staff member. Good breakfast.

Cons:

It is very dark from the outside (if you arrive in the evening, as I did) and a bit dingy as you come in, so I felt a bit unsure as I arrived. Could benefit from some better lighting! There was also clutter in one of the corridors leading up to my room.

Comfortable and convenient. Highly recommended.
Pros:

The room was quiet and comfortable. It was compact but had everything I wanted including an excellent desk. The neighborhood is full of excellent coffee shops, breakfast places and restaurants within easy walking distance. This included a very good restaurant (Five March) tucked right below the hotel. There are also convenient mass transit links within a reasonable walk. In may trips to Glasgow this is the first time I've stayed at this hotel and in this neighborhood and now would do so again.

Cons:

Nothing, really. I do wish UK hotels would provide washcloths, but they rarely do!
