What an amazing find this hotel is. Perfect spot in the city centre to travel to and from the train station during a concert. Staff could not do enough for us and a special shout out to Joy who goes above and beyond and lives up to her name. Gorgeous food mad by the chef and breakfast was superb. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

A good hotel but extortionate cost. I know rates were higher because of the Commonwealth Games but how can you justify that cost, particularly as the breakfast was nothing much to write home about. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly an oriental lady.

They were doing some work on one of the elevators but that was not a problem. The room was small but fine. It is well located near Queen Street station and a great place to use as a base for visiting the city.

I often pick this hotel to stay at when in Glasgow. The first reason is because it is near all the places I have to be and like to visit. The staff has always been very helpful in catering to my needs. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the breakfast is worth paying for. I don't drive in the city, so I cannot speak about parking, but I know the hotel always sends a message concerning where to park. The hotel is doing some renovations at this time, but I found it still a good place to stay.
