My first excursion to Glasgow was made thoroughly enjoyable by this excellent hotel.

It's easy to find and has secure (valet!) parking, rare for a city centre hotel.

Reception and foyer are spacious and welcoming and the reception staff were efficient, very very friendly, knowledgable and totally accomodating.

Our room was on the 5th floor with great views over to the city. Twin beds were comfortable and the room although not overly spacious was clean and welcoming. Bathroom excellent.

Hotel spa facilities are very good and open for very convenient hours (7am-10pm).

The hotel is an easy 10 minute walk from the city centre (if you walk slowly, only 5 minutes if you're a bit quicker!) and it's nice to have a little distance away from the hustle and bustle of the Glasgow nightlife!

You're close to Central Station, Princes Square (excellent eating, Barca Cava and Tapas bar highly recommended!) and Buchanan Street shops. A little further away is the bars and clubs, but again, all within easy walking distance or a short taxi ride for girls in silly high heels!

Taxis are very reasonable and all the drivers we had were very friendly and happy to impart local knowledge. Taxis can be ordered by the concierge and arrive within minutes, even at peak times.

I booked through laterooms and got a very reasonable price for two nights. A best-price guarantee is offered through the Menzies website - price matching and and additional 10% discount...look there for details.

In summary, a fantastic hotel, excellent facilities for the price and a great base for exploring the city. I'll definitely stay there again next time I visit Glasgow, which will be soon!

We missed the turning for the road to this hotel a couple of times as we couldn't believe such a lovely hotel could be in such a lowly location. It is practically underneath the flyover for the M8. There seemed to be a lot of building work close by too, although you cannot hear any noise whilst in the hotel. It takes approx 10 mins to walk into the centre of Glasgow, so is good in terms of proximity to shops/bars etc.

The interior of the hotel is modern, bright and clean. The staff are efficient and friendly and the concierge was brilliant. The bar seemed clinical rather than relaxing and comfortable but again the staff were good.

Our room was as expected in a hotel of this standard with a large, comfortable bed. The view from the room was not picturesque but then we weren't expecting mountains and waterfalls within the city centre.

We didn't use the spa but it looked very nice although was viewable from the reception and from the front of the hotel as you entered.

The buffet style breakfast was very good with lots of choice and plenty of hot food.

We would stay here again.

This is an outpost in a bit of a run down area, but is handy for Central Station and the new offices on Atlantic Quay. It has an absolutely gorgeous pool, and the rooms are very spacious and well decorated. Lovely toiletries (The Tub) provided.

The bar is a bit small and not exactly cosy, being open and right next to reception, but service is friendly. Bar snacks are good but can take a while when they are busy.

Service at breakfast used to be excellent on earlier visits, but on the last few times I went, I don't think they had enough staff on, so coffee and toast never arrived promptly and the hot breakfast kept running out of items.

Would return again though.

We stayed here for my wifes birthday in january. The standard rooms are very spacious , with all the facilities you would expect. Both the bedroom & bathroom were very clean on arrival.

The hotel is centrally located in Glasgow a 10 min walk from the city centre or take a cab , the staff will book them for you. Be warned on Fridays & Saturdays book at least an hour in advance as there is always a wait for a cab.

The staff were excellent very helpful and welcoming.

My only minor criticism would be that there is not a lot of parking at the hotel , so if you need to check in early if you wanta parking space. Also the bar lacked atmosphere mostly due to its design as it feels like part of the foyer.
