An ideal base for exploring the city and surrounding area. Staff very friendly, and hotel facilities all very good. Room was clean and comfortable and we all had a good night's sleep. Lots of information available for those new to area and excellent transport links a short walk away.
The staff was wonderful, the breakfast was great. The location has a bus stop right at the entrance so location isn't a problem. The room was comfortable.
Very clean and comfortable hotel in a good location by the Clyde River. Many restaurants and pubs in the immediate area. Easy access to the downtown area.
Really good location. Close to station & centre. Very clean & comfortable rooms. Loved the Dove toiletries. Breakfast was ok but maybe a bit more variety would be good. All in all enjoyed our stay & would definitely stay again. 👌
Very friendly hotel. We had our 6 month old with us which provided us with a cot. Room had good space. Breakfast was 10/10. And only few minute walk and your at glasgow green/ st enoch centre. Parking was £35 for 3 nights.
Great hotel. Super conveniently located, clean and the breakfast was great. The staff deserve a special shout out, and I regret not taking their names, but I had a medical emergency during my stay and the staff were incredible. Helped me to navigate the healthcare system (we are from out of the country), directed calls to our room from the hospital, held doors for me when I arrived back from the hospital and even checked in to see how I was doing. They were also kind to my daughter amd were helpful with directions. I can’t thank the staff enough for their kindness!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
There was hammering going on from at least as early as 10am, which is just NOT good enough - people at a hotel are entitled to sleep in if they like. It's their paid privilege. Not to mention the woman next door at 8:30am shouting at her child through the paper-thin walls that he was being selfish through the night playing them music and keeping them up. Thankfully I didn't hear the music, but I certainly heard her! Finally, the hash browns at breakfast were embarrassingly stale.
I chose this hotel for its proximity to Glasgow Green. It’s the perfect place to stay to attend concerts there. 5-minute walk. The room was lovely. Great breakfast. Friendly staff.
The walk to Buchanan street is fine once you get to Argyle. I never felt unsafe but I would not want to walk this stretch alone at night. Also, I heard some noise from another event in the Green. It was quiet after midnight though.
