8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The room was perfectly adequate to my needs: nothing fancy, just a desk, a bed, a private bathroom (tiny), and access to a shared kitchen area. It's location was good, close to St Mungo's cathedral and a short walk to Buchanan Street. The only negative was the traffic noise, but that is to be expected in a city location. (It was a hot week and I had to keep the window open. I imagine the noise would be a lot less with the window closed, but earplugs might be advised for a light sleeper.)
