Pros:

Good sized room. Very clean. Comfy bed. Good cooked breakfast. Great location in West End. Checked in early as our room waa ready which was very appreciated.

Cons:

Small things only. A little tired decor wise. Had to hunt around for reception staff on check in. Eventually found a workman who kindly alerted staff we were there. Not a big deal but doesnt create the best impression to start with. However we enjoyed our stay and have booked again for later this year.

Mejorar vuestro personal de atencion
Pros:

La Ubicaacion

Cons:

Habitación en sótano, la incomodidad para llegar con el coche a dejar las maletas. El personal no preparado para la llegada de los huespedes, pedí información para el aparcamiento y no me lo dieron. En correos anteriores me habían escrito que facilitaban información e incluso te recomendaban uno, pues nada de nada. Allí no vuelvo.

Bien ubicado pero sobrevalorado
Pros:

Muy buena ubicación, muy cerca del Jardín Botánico, cerca de la Universidad y bien conectado con el centro de la ciudad por transporte público.

Cons:

El baño era demasiado pequeño y el desayuno era bastante escueto si se le compara con otros alojamientos de igual categoría.

Good for short trip
Pros:

Good for 1-2 nights.
Pros:

Fresh and clean bathrooms and beds. Nice staff.
Top location in Glasgow.

Cons:

Our roomed smell of mens perfume and the madrass was not that comfortable.
Bed is soft and you are able to feel the bed springs as you say down.
You can hear through the walls.
