When I phoned to make the reservation, they didn't sound professional. When I arrived, the bathroom was dirty! The corridor had a smell and the hairdryer was in 3 pieces, with a note that you shouldn't touch it!
I cancelled the booking, paid 25 pounds, was treated very unfriendly, but found a nice, cleaner place to stay...

I liked this place, but my wife was creeped out by it. The spiral staircase going up four flights carrying heavy bags was not much fun. Check-in at the bar was charming, but it did have a bit of a backpacker hostel feel. The room was fine, but a bit worn feeling. Mattress had sharp buttons that we were able to feel through the sheets. Hotel wasn't too far from the center, but not a good walk at night. Next time in Glasgow, I will book something a bit more central and slightly more upscale. The staff was very nice, though.

The location is not exactly central city, so for a tourist seeing Glasgow for the first time, you may feel a bit out of the thick of things. You won't want to walk into the center of town either as it is both a bit far and not exactly a scenic walk. This hotel is small, and feels it. For instance, the pub is the reception is the breakfast room is the manager's office, etc. That's fine, at least you know where to go to get something done. Like breakfast, which is decent, but takes something like forever, which, in the morning is annoying. The rooms are a minimum of two flights up, I think ours was four flights. No elevator, so if you are traveling with heavy bags, keep that in mind. Our room was compact but very comfortable and simple. The bed was near perfect. The shower was not. In fact, I think it was the worst shower I ever had and because it was so bad, I did not shower the second morning, deciding to wait until our next venue. It was that bad. Oh, and fumes from the kitchen did waft up to our room. The staff are great, I really liked them. They even gave us one of their only parking spaces for our rental car. The pub is lively. Of a Friday night, they have a group of musicians performing traditional Scottish music which was thoroughly enjoyable. Given the above, I would think twice before booking here again.

Loved the idea of the place from reviews here and their own website and we were not disappointed in the slightest. The whole place has so much character, the staff were friendly, the room was lovely, comfortable and clean. We didn't try the restaurant, but if breakfast is anything to go by it should be pretty good. The location is also amazing, right next to the cathedral and the necropolis, but not too far from the city centre. The only drawback for some people might be the stairs, we loved the spiral staircase, but it is three floors up to the first level of rooms and there is no lift, so not suitable for anyone who isn't able to heft their own luggage.
