Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was ideal, right in the city center, but there were some issues with the rooms, such as broken bathroom fixtures and a run-down feel. The service was helpful, and the dining experience had its hits and misses.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, being close to Sauchiehall Street with lots of amenities nearby, but the room itself had some issues like a malfunctioning TV and dirty carpets. The breakfast saved the day with a nicely cooked English breakfast, but the dining area could use some improvements for a more enjoyable experience.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was decent, just off Sauchiehall St, but noisy with students outside early in the morning. The service was a mix of helpful and confusing, with a bit of a hiccup in room arrangements. The rooms in the basement, opposite a small dining room, were basic and served their purpose but had some cleanliness issues. The dining experience was underwhelming, with limited options and unexpected quality for the price. On the bright side, the hotel had some public areas that were nicely done.
The hotel is in a great location, just past Sauchiehall St, making it ideal for those seeking nightlife. The rooms need some maintenance with old windows and a drafty window frame. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience was good but had limited hours. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel's location is what sells it; it's an easy walk onto Sauchiehall Street and Buchanan Street, but it can get a bit noisy with students outside in the early morning hours. The rooms, however, leave much to be desired with outdated amenities and maintenance issues. On the bright side, the dining experience is quite impressive with delicious and ample options for a reasonable price.
The hotel was difficult to find and had some maintenance issues in the rooms, but the service was excellent. The location was central and convenient, with some minor dining issues to consider.
When I finally settled in a room, I found it far too hot without a thermostat on the radiator. The staff suggested opening the window, but I was a bit disappointed with the overall room condition - a wet stain on the carpet and sash windows that felt unsafe for children. The breakfast was also quite awful, but at least I could enjoy a good hot shower.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and offered comfy beds, but some maintenance issues like the unsecured window and scruffy paintwork were noticeable. The service was friendly and cooperative, though not overly engaged. The location was excellent for local amenities but a bit far from the city center. The dining experience left much to be desired, with reheated food being a letdown. Overall, it presented a good value for money stay with some room for improvement in various aspects.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and warm, but a bit musty. The service was hit or miss with some staff being rude and unhelpful while others were efficient and knowledgeable.

The hotel is nicely located in the city center, close to various pubs and restaurants, offering a peaceful stay. The rooms have been recently refurbished but need an update in the bathroom. However, the morning noise from the dining room can be disruptive. The service is receptive and helpful, pointing guests in the right direction to explore the city.
