This place is a bargain. I've stayed at much nastier places for more money in Glasgow. The room wasn't bad, bathroom was a bit worn out and it could have done with a bedside lamp, but it wasn't bad. Breakfast was ok, had better, had worse. I booked this hotel for the night before a very important post-grad exam, expecting... more

Bed comfortable, en-suite very clean and updated. All in all a very pleasant atmospheric hotel near Argyle Street. Breakfast first class. Would definitely return. Lady at the desk (unfortunately I did not get her name) very kindly offered me tea while I was reading the paper. more

I stayed in this hotel recently with three colleagues when we visited Glasgow for a conference. We were pleasantly surprised when we first arrived, the rooms were basic but clean and tidy and the staff were friendly.

As this was my first time in Glasgow I was helped by the Hotel staff even before I got there. The lovely woman on the phone gave me brilliant directions, leading me to avoid the one way system. The hotel also have a deal with the car park down the street so you only have to pay £6 for 24... more

What a dreadful place, it was cold, the shower was mouldy. The staff were the most unhelpful people I have ever come across. The breakfast room was chaotic - a youth hostel would have been better. The food was virtually inedible. You made your own tea with water from a flask, the toaster spat out sparks, the cook was unshaven...... more

Hard, lumpy beds. Cold echoey rooms. Noisy location. The much vaunted breakfast was crap - nasty high-fat-low texture sausages, black pudding dried out to a crispy horror. Everything deep fried too. They make a lot on their site about their big spiral stone staircase - and it is a splendid thing. It's the only thing good about this place though. more
