Let me start with the good points, although there were few- the bed was comfy and clean and the room was quiet.

Now for the bad- the toilet was leaking, the tv didn't work, the phone didn't work, the heating didn't work and the room was cold. I have only just found out after reading other reviews that the hotel has shut off the whole heating system (a money saving measure?)

The area directly surrounding the hotel was rundown also the decor was quite shabby. The whole hotel needed refurbished and it wasn't quite as central as I had thought.

All in all you could get a much nicer hotel in a better location for the same amount of money. Anyone who considers this hotel to be good value for money cant have stayed in many Glasgow hotels. Had I been booked in for more than one night I would have cancelled and gone somewhere else. I won't be back.

I stayed here with my girlfriend for one night in May 2006. The hotel looks kinda drab from the outside but when you enter, the reception area is quite nice, with a small coffee shop next to it. Check-in was quick and efficient. One of the 2 lifts was out of order and the other was so slow, you'd be quicker walking up the stairs.

The rooms are small, and I mean tiny! If you take your cat with you when you stay here, don't expect to be able to swing it! The rooms are very nicely decorated though. Its about time they employed the services of a window cleaner though, because the windows in the room were filthy, barely able to see out. The bathroom smelt badly of dampness.

Even though it was a hot sunny day when we arrived, the room had a chill in it and the heating was off. On phoning reception, we were told that people had complained that the hotel was too hot so they'd turned off the heating system, but that she would have the heating switched back on for a little while. We are still waiting though!! In the morning the room was very cold and we had to use the hair-dryer to warm it up a little for coming out the shower.

The bed was comfortable and we slept well with no excessive traffic noise.

Breakfast was nice but the self-service toaster in the buffet area was not working and so we could'nt have a slice of toast. On asking the waiter if they could make us some, we were told no. It would only have taken 2 minutes for the chefs to throw a couple of slices of bread under a grill. Not good!

Plus points are the location and the bar & restaurant. Its only a short walk along to Central Station and the Argyle Street shops. The bar is spacious and comfortable and the resaurant is a lovely, modern area.

All in, I was'nt impresed with this hotel and I won't be back, theres much nicer hotels nearby, ie the Holiday Inn, SAS Radisson and the City Inn.

This hotel was clean and resonable price. It was also a short walk from the train station and the city center. The front desk staff was always helpful with information. The shower was good, bed ok. Room size was fine for U.K. Funny thing though, the radiator was behind the curtain, under the window, so to get any heat in the room you had to pull bad the curtain. We stayed for 4 nights with no problems. Extra towels were in the drawers in the desk. Each bed had two pillows.
We would use this hotel again, as the price left us budget money to see more sights.

the hotel itself was ok,clean with a nice bar and a good location but you can find the same standard of accomadation elsewhere in the city for a lot less money...overpriced.
