Staff friendly and excellent breakfast. Close to centre of Glasgow.
Pros:

Staff were friendly., though manager did not deal with a problem as well as we would like. Excellent breakfast. good resturants in walking distance.

Cons:

Bath was dirty with black dirt and sparkles. Was not dealt with when brought to managers attention immediately. Offer of 50 % off next visit did not appeal.

A Sweet Hotel with Lots of Heart
Pros:

The Pipers ' Tryst is exactly what you look for on a visit to Glasgow (and our introduction to Scotland): clean rooms, friendly service, nice breakfast, lots of local character, and a perfect location. We loved being able to check out the adjoining National Piping Centre and chatting with their knowledgeable staff!

Cons:

Our room and en suite were of modest size (but so was the price!). Limited access for our taxi dropoff but we could see the entry a few yards away and walked across the road with our luggage. There are some entry steps, but available assistance. I will say there was some nighttime street noise: fairly loud student-age voices from a nearby building -- not so easy to block out given there's no AC so window needed to be open. A quickly downloaded white noise app helped (and frankly, things quieted down reasonably quickly).

Lovely 2 days in Glasgow with so much to see and do. Great bed and lovely staff.
Pros:

Great location to CBD. Easy to find.

Cons:

The usual - soundproofing not the best. These older buildings are full of character but not very solid between rooms or floors!
