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'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 The rooms, however, leave much to be desired with outdated amenities and maintenance issues.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.

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.

The hotel was in a central location close to Sauchiehall Street, making it convenient for exploring Glasgow. The rooms had some issues like a strange smell, a wet stain on the carpet, and potentially hazardous sash windows. The breakfast left much to be desired, and encountering a disruptive individual on the stairs was unsettling.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was central and convenient, perfect for exploring the city but a bit dark and quiet at night. The service was excellent, with staff being really helpful and polite, but the lack of a parking service was a downside. The rooms definitely needed some attention and refurbishment, with issues like broken tiles and a small shower for family rooms, but the view from the window made up for it. Dining was a bit of a letdown with slow service, but the staff tried their best. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
