Not sure if it was so expensive due to the commonwealth games or just a Saturday night . It wasn’t worth the money I paid however saying that , it was clean , the staff were really friendly and helpful . It’s on a lovely position in west end with lots of cafes and independent restaurants within walking distance . Takes about 10mins to the hydro in a cab so works out quite cheap and takes about a 20 min walk .
Shower needed re grouting , didn’t try the breakfast so cannot comment . Would stay again but for a cheaper rate .

Great location, right on Great Western Road and close to Byers Road/Ashton Lane and about 10 minutes from the University. The hotel is nice and great value for money. It's looking a bit care worn in parts but you're not paying for the Ritz so all good.
Off street parking is about a 10-15 minute walk away.
Recommended, especially if you're there for something Uni related.

It was very quiet almost all the time. I thought I was alone at the place at first, just the way I like it.
Had only one issue. The wall in the room next to me was quite thin. The beds must have been along the same wall.
I could hear snoring and when I was on the phone late the person next to me pounded on the wall. That may be just a problem in room 301. Other than that it was very quiet.
The provided breakfast options were great. Staff was always helpful and friendly.
Do note that this is a walk up, no elevator.

This hotel was perfect for what we needed it for ! It had a queen bed and a single bed , perfect for 3 of us. The rooms are not big , but we spent next to no time in them. The bed linens are clean and there is a nice modern bathroom. They also offered a really nice breakfast , consisting of bacon , sausages, black pudding , potato scone , mushrooms, beans , toast , fruit etc! What more could you ask for, for the price and location. You are a stones throw away from byres road and great western road. Very accessible to Hillhead subway to move around Glasgow. The only minor detail that annoyed me was they did not dust the top of the head boards, and the top of the tile ledge in the bathroom. The dust was annoying me so I did it myself! Other than that - location , comfort , price and breakfast were great! It’s not overly fancy so don’t expect 5 star amenities.

Was a good basic hotel for 2 nights. Nothing fancy. Room was clean and tidy. There were a couple of cosmetic details that should've been dealt with (wallpaper coming unstuck, a couple of bathroom floor tiles uneven, grout coming out). Bed was quite firm which I liked but the pillows were lumpy. Tea and coffee provided with an added touch of biscuits. Plenty of sockets and at least 2 usb ports.
Good choice available for breakfast, all help yourself. Cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, bread for continental and the usual fayre for a Scottish breakfast.
Plenty of shops, restaurants, pubs over the road and nearby. Close to the Botanic gardens and the Kelvingrove museum, both well worth a visit.

The front of the hotel is appealing and safely hidden from the main street. The complimentary traditional Scottish breakfast was good. The only real problem was the bed- which was basically a long high mound in the middle, slipping down to shallow valleys on either side, like a topographical map. Shops and food are a short walk away. The nearest subway stations are about a 5-8 minute walk.

Last minute booking for a spontaneous stay in Glasgow, this hotel provided the convenient location and 24 hour access I needed. Room was quirky. One of the downstairs rooms. Bed was very comfortable. The shower room was small and not easy to move around in and close the door to the shower but for the price and last minute I really can’t complain. My room was directly under reception and I found it noisy with early risers coming and going. I would use this hotel again but maybe book further in advance and get one of the upstairs rooms which look lovely and comfortable on their website

Good place, be wary of soundproofing & no car park

Wasn’t made aware that you don’t have to pay for street parking outside before the stay, unsure if this was missed on the listing or not.

Overnight, me and my friend heard loud noises coming from our window on the ground floor, although there was a courtyard below the window. Told reception about it and found there was a ladder leading up to the windows so asked for this to removed. Around 6am sounded as if someone was trying our door for a few seconds, could’ve been a mistake but ultimately made the stay uncomfortable for us due to the noises waking us up. The soundproofing of the door and for the room above and possibly below was not good either.

Very good location, modern style, everything worked as should and beds were comfortable, just unfortunate that we had a bad experience, which I’m sure on another night may not have happened.
