Stayed here a few times because of its great location being close to train and tube station. Really reasonably priced hotel but the good points end here. Hotel rooms are very tired looking and needing a major face lift. Would not recommend this hotel for romantic weekends etc as this is def not the place.

We ended up in this hotel last-minute as we had a terrible experience at another hotel. The staff were friendly & helpful, our room was absolutely beautiful considering the low price paid for a City Centre hotel. The proximity to Central Station was very handy. Also very easy to get a passing taxi due to the location. The Tesco less... More

Stayed here for 3 nights on a business - hard to beat the value for bed and breakfast in the city centre location. The room was basic, but clean and relatively spacious. No ventilation other than opening the window which meant that there was noise from the street - a little disturbing for a light sleeper. Breakfast buffet was ample... More

Regular visitor to Glasgow and have stayed in a few hotels throughout the city. Found this one to have a brilliant location with very helpful staff.
