This was the Hotel from Hell for three of us.
A horrible receptionist greeted us after 7.5 hours of flying with an aggressive demand for more money even although our entire accomodation was pre-paid including breakfast. Records were paper-based. Loud alarms were everywhere. Interrnet was limited until we found a wireless source in the railway station
Luggage holding room was overloaded. Unsecured.
Signs on taps said that water was undrinkable but no explanation. We were forced to get bottle water all the time.
Over 8 days and nights the FIRE ALARM went off 27 times and continually woke us up. We received apologies but nobody tried to fix it. Only one of the elevators worked and it needed manual pressure to close the door. Breakfast was acceptable. Dinner plates were unacceptably hot and nobody cared. Hotel beds were worn. Rooms needed more cleaning. Unwelcome bar cold to guests. Dark reception. Some staff tried to be helpful but the receptionist from hell was still there when we left. Message system for guests is confusing. DONT STAY HERE (2008-July)

Stayed for two nights over the weekend Saturday/Sunday. First impressions as you enter are OK, although the check in took ages. However, once you get passed the ground floor everything goes down hill fast! Only one of three lifts worked, the rooms although they had been recently decorated were not exactly clean and the bathrooms were ancient. The decor /carpetsin the halls/stairways left a lot to be desired. A food tray sat outside a door on our floor from the Saturday when we booked in and was still there on the Monday when we checked out! One time we came back up from breakfast eight Polish (most polish anyway) were sitting in the hall to our room having a wee chat!
To finish things the first night we were there the fire alarm when off five times!
Basically it is central and great for being close to most things in the centre of Glasgow, it is cheap but even for what you pay it is too much. Avoid it unless you are really stuck.

First the good points.
Location is excellent;
The beds were really good and the rooms large;
Overall the rooms were clean, modern and well presented. They had been recently refurbished. Our room was quiet and we had an excellent night's sleep.
We were allowed to leave our baggage there during the day and on our return on monday when we did not stay in the hotel - a very obliging touch.
The bad:
The corridores where we stayed on the fourth floor bore all the hallmarks of the presumably former hospital status. There were filthy store rooms adjoinging the corridore which left a dreadful impression - eerie really as other reviews have pointed out.
The carpet on the beautiful staircase was shabby and the staircase itself dirty - inexcusable really. There appears to be underfloor heating and our son spent a very uncomfortable night, as his room was too warm and there did not appear to be any method of regulating the temperature. His room, a little distance from ours, was noisy due to a night club on the street outside. There was no hot water due to an accident in the city with the gas works. The hotel took no responsibility for this but did offer a 10% reduction or offered to try to book another hotel, which at this stage was much dearer - we declined. No extra effort was made on the breakfast that was provided - it was basic but not objectionabe.

Overall a decidedly mixed experience - the price was reasonable and the rooms large and good. If you can get over the shabby eerieness you may be luck with a large comfortable room as we were but "Quality" it is not. I guess its a case of "the lady doth protest too much" and, in parts, this is a very shabby lady. Really, only suitable as a place to rest one's head in the centre of Glasgow and little else.

We booked this hotel without checking with trip advisor and that was the biggest mistake we made. I always check but it was a late decision. My friend and I decided to go for a shopping weeking end. The Photos on the web site looked great and the location was perfect. However on arrival we nearly fainted it is straight out of a horror movie, dingy and dirty. Torn carpets, worn furniture and a musty smell. We booked in went up to our bed room, we had to walk the three flights with our cases as the lifts were not working.The rooms were just as bad old fashioned and smelly. At that stage we had had enough. We asked for our money back. There was nothing good at all to say about this hotel. Even the price of the room was not cheap.
