If you want a romantic weekend or are trying to impress someone with your knowledge of the hotel trade, then don’t stay here. Rather than being a guest house it’s a sort of backpackers with a few B&B type rooms. The wall-to-wall carpeting might interest a bacteriologist but would be off-putting to the house proud. Ditto for the lounge and... More

Paying £75 for one night double room bed &breakfast, we weren't expecting the Ritz but we also weren't expecting a room that I'm sure the homeless would turn their nose up at. On arrival the staff weren't the friendliest, getting told to watch our feet as the carpets had just been cleaned (God only knows what state they were before... More

We booked a family room but the room was quite far away. We had to walk many staircase and the staircase was windy. The room was ok but the floor was like unstable to walk on it. The cabinet was tilted at 10 degree. The breakfast was ok but WIFI was slow.

The guest house is a block from Sauchiehall St and close to the bus station, etc. My room was comfortable although nothing exceptional and I got one with an ensuite bathroom although I hadn't booked that. The breakfast was good and staff were nice. I wish I had asked or been told about the free wifi. It's only in one... More

I have stayed at McLays several times. The rates are great, my room is always clean and comfortable, the location is convenient to Sauchiehall Street, bus and train stations, Kelvingrove Park, etc., and the included breakfast is cooked to order and excellent. They have several different room arrangements, including rooms that will accommodate families or groups of 5/6 friends. Most... More

I stayed for one night and had a single room. The room was clean but very old fashioned. The bathroom/toilet was separate and quite far away. The very positive things were: The room was quiet The staff was friendly The breakfast was excellent (made fresh to order) It was in walking distance to Buchanan Central Bus Station and Central Station.

We stayed at McLays Guest House for 3 nights in October. After we got to our room through a maze of corridors we found it to be big enough, considering the budget. High ceiling was a bit of a surprise, considering the bathroom ceiling was so low you couldn't stand up right in the bath without hitting it with your... More

I stayed at McLays Guest House for several nights while staying in Glasgow. I had a single room and was happy with the size and cleanliness of the room. The large TV and free coffee and tea were an added bonus. The location is excellent, just a 15 minute walk to Glasgow Central train station and right down the road... More
