Flawless from start to finish. We arrived 30 mins early to check in and our room was ready so we got checked in and sort
Pros:

I booked this hotel because my son and I were going to see McFly in the south side of Glasgow and the last time we saw McFly at the hydro we had stayed here and the staff were so lovely to me and my son (and our room was on the third floor which was just hilarious to us lol) and it was familiar to us. The last time we stayed mcflys crew were also staying which was pretty cool and they had given the staff tickets to the show too which was awesome and we actually ended up bumping into a few of them on the night. So was a no brainer really to book again. Hopefully the next time we will luck out and get assigned a river view room but can’t fault anything honestly… staff have been awesome and rooms have been great too

Cons:

The description on booking.com made it seem like we had a river view but quickly realised we were on the wrong side of the building for that to be the case. No complaints though… room was great and staff friendly, welcoming and accommodating

Buena elección para escapada a Glasgow
Pros:

El hotel es bueno y tiene todas las comodidades. Limpio y buen buffet. Te facilitan lo que te haga falta en recepción. Tipo toallas extras o más gel, por ejemplo. La ubicación es buena teniendo en cuenta que hay parada de bus enfrente pero está lejos del centro.

Wouldn’t consider if you want a good night sleep, plenty of great options in Glasgow
Pros:

The location was good, able to walk into city and to kelvingrove. Parking was helpful.

Cons:

A very small room, hot and stuffy. Choose hotel as advertised with air con. Unfortunately this was a very noisy, dated and basic system that just didn’t work. Open the window, on main road. Terrible night sleep. No fan in room. This was very much during average Scottish weather, not a heatwave etc.

Bathroom tiny, tired, chips round sink, mirror chipped, I would liken it to a travel lodge at best, not a 4 star hotel.

Lastly when hotel clearly not full why would put parent and child in room 223? Which backs onto a lift shaft? All evening and then from early morning clunking of lift shaft through wall.

A good night sleep is why people book hotels, unfortunately this room, hotel is completely missing the mark of the basics.

Breakfast was very cramped, not enough seats for all the guests really. Hot food wasn’t really hot at all.

Come for the rooms, don't stay for the food.
Pros:

The room was great. Very comfortable beds, lots of quality toiletries and spotlessly clean.

Cons:

The food. Overcooked food at dinner. Breakfast wasn't great quality and only Flora, no real butter. One of the guys clearing the tables kept trying to take my water glass but ignored dirty plates on the table beside us. It was actually great entertainment trying to keep my water glass every time he swooped by our table.

Excellent location and personnel
Pros:

The location right on the river is excellent. The personnel at the hotel is also excellent. I travel a lot and in my experience, Fateme at the reception is one of the best I have seen. The hotel is brilliantly managed by Ionela.

Local hotel close to events,food, shopping.
