Checked in on sat 17th nov, to be told had overbooked the hotel by 26 rooms ( they have a 53 capacity ), we had booked 2 rooms and we were told would have to share or go to another hotel in Paisley they had sourced rooms from due to their incompetence. we had specifically chosen the hotel for it's location as we were going to a concert that night in Glasgow, and with no prior warning and lump or it leave it attitude we accepted the change. We left the hotel to get something to eat, came back 4 hours later to get changed and discovered another guest's bag in the room which we thought was each others..we again complained about this, the manager was very apologetic and gave us a lift to the concert venue in the hotels limo..However the final nail in coffin was the noise that came from outside ( I know it's central and Saturday night in Glasgow , but have they heard of double glazing, ..??!! ), coupled with a 4am wake up call with the night duty manger followed by another guest, ( who after letter of a apology was ascertained to be owner of bag left )..the hotel's decor is very modern and chic but you can tell has been done in hurry as hot tap in our room was wonky and hot water running through the cold , which we found out was due to an old boiler system..??!! And the awful breakfast offered - on booking on internet we were told was scottish breakfast, but found out all was on offer was horrible processed continental one, which if had been made and offered in right manner would have appeased our anger and disappointment slightly..apparently was our internet booking site's fault for mis-information, however, the signs directing you to the " Breakfast Room " from reception raised hopes of comforting and delectable fare...on arrival of said room were we met with dark and dingy basement space( that would not have looked out of place in any small office) , that had four or five office like tables and chairs squashed togethe with a larger table housing an office coffe machine and pre-packaged pastries...If this hotel's marketing and concept is aimed at the demographic that would use the likes of the Somerset Apartments ( now Fraser Suites ) in Albion Street , Merchant City ( which I have stayed at and are far superior ), then they really need to start from scratch, not only by recruiting and retaining experienced and well trained staff, but by an overhaul of hotel's layout, presentation etc.

Stayed in this hotel Nov 07 to aid a christmas shopping trip to Glasgow.

Hotel is nice, very good location, just round the corner from Kings Theatre and maybe 200metres from Sauchiehall Street.

You dont have to walk far for a wide selction of bars and restaurants - the hotel had discount vouchers for bar Budda maybe 250 metres away that got you a 15% discount, so dinner with a cpl of drinks was only £22.

The room itself was nice, maybe not the biggest ever but not cramped - Plasma telly and complimentary mini bar with red and white wine, whisky and gin in decanters, as well as water and tonic water were a welcome touch.

The express breakfast which is included in the room rate was more than adequuate, coffee, croissants, pastries and muffins on a self service basis.

Staff were very friendly and couldnt be faulted.

As for the rate, we paid £60.56 for thru bookinhotels.com (sourced thru Kelkoo). I asked when checking out what the rate is if phoned direct, and was told it varies between £79 and £109 per night so our rate was a bit of a bargain.

I would deffo go back again

Great location (2 mins from sauchiehall street!) Great room, great staff. Room was a bit on the small side but we were only sleeping there! out and about most of the time! Free mini bar was limited but the wine went down a treat!

We requested a quiet room on resevation. On arrival we were offered an upgrade to an apartment 3minutes walk from the hotel which we accepted - big mistake! The apartment itself was fine, clean , spacious and simply furnished. However the noise from the many bars and clubs nearby penetrates right through the building ( granted it was a Saturday night) . The racket went on until well after 4am after which we were disturbed by noise from drunken revellers returning to the flats. In the morning the main entrance door was smashed and beer bottles decorated the lift. It is possible that rooms in the main hotel are ok as they are on a quieter street and the building is of substantial stone and looked to have been well upgraded - we certainly regret the free upgrade and wish we had stayed in a room here as booked instead

This hotel looks great on the webpage and the set-up looked idea. Yes there wasn't a restaurant but it had a central location and boasted deluxe interior design with high speed internet, flat screen TVs, alarm clocks and DVD players.

In reality the internet connection was either slow or broken until the night before we left, there was no DVD player in the rooms, the mini bar was limited (although complementary for the first night) and the alarm clock was attached to the mains which meant that everytime you left the room taking out your card the alarm had to be manually reset. So all in all the TV was as described.

We had some problems with both check-in and check-out but the staff did try to fix these, although not in the most timely manner.

The bed was very comfy but tight on the size of the room. If two people were staying in the room together you'd have to get on very well together.

For the price and a central location this hotel is fine but it wasn't what I expected from this well-reputed chain.
