The hotel inside was excellent with very respectful and efficient staff who offered a wealth of information. The breakfast was first class and well presented Unfortunately, the hotel is located in an area of Glasgow which is still being redeveloped and in serious need of improvement however, it was only a short walk to the centre and good attractions

Property was in a central location and close to shops restaurants and amenities. Ideal for an overnight stay. Plenty of parking close to property at discounted price. Quick and easy check in and staff friendly. Bed and pillows extremely comfortable. Breakfast busy with slight waiting time for a table but nothing unreasonable. Adequate choice of breakfast items and all good. Ideal place to stay if you don’t want anything with all the frills. Would use again

Warm welcome and comfortable room. Had the air conditioning which needed to be on full blast to warm the room as it was a very cold spell. Very comfortable bed and not noisy outside. No sockets at the bedside but 3 elsewhere in the room. Staff helpful and friendly. Enjoyed our stay and would go again.
