We were six hours delayed flying into Glasgow so didn't arrive at this place until about 3 a.m. There were rowdy young people at the front door and the beleaguered desk person had to throw them out and threaten to call the police. The lobby was pitiful, shabby, worn, and the hallways were frighteningly filthy. We walked through five or... more

McLays, although described as a Guest House, is more on the lines of a Hostel. The reception area and corridors are neglected and are looking quite shabby. It reminded me of a pub in the times of when smoking was allowed, in that the paintwork, etc, had turned a browny yellow. The dining room was a bit tacky, and I... more

I only give this a 1 as there's no zero. Myself and 3 friends booked here to stay last night as we were going to the Bon Jovi concert at Hampden. On arrival my friend and I headed for our room, the lift is like a small cupboard which has "lift" stencilled on the door in felt tip pen, and... more

This guest house is well located being not far from the centre. I've read people complaining about the area, but really for Glasgow it's fine! Because I booked late and had to move every few nights, I actually slept in 3 different rooms. All of them were modern and clean enough. However, it was a bit cold at night in... more

The guest house has over 90 rooms. It is in a decent location close to Glasgow city centre and I suppose quite cheap. It is however very very basic and could do with nicer and cleaner bed linen and carpets. It can be noisy at night since it is quite populated and is also rather cold especially in the evenings.... more

Unfriendly welcome - I don't like having to settle a bill on arrival and I certainly don't like writing my home address in a visitors book ( open to all ) to let people know that my home is, therefore, vacant whilst in Glasgow ( use a fictitious address - I did ). So, the hotel : dark, dingy. The... more

I stayed at mclays with my boyfriend and two friends. The room (4 bedded) was ok , the staff was very friendly, the price good and the location wonderful. The breakfast was too early for us, but they always wait before closing. The last days we left luggage in the breakfast room without problem. Despite of fire alarm, my friend... more

I booked 3 nights and visited my friend in Glasgow, No guests were allowed to enter the room or hotel then that... more
