The hotel is undergoing a facelift but it really could do with being updated internally as well. Our room had no door chain & the bathroom door had been hacked at the bottom so the light showed through. …

It was an ok stay as one would expect of a budget hotel. The staff were always helpful and always friendly. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on the food there. The room was average, and dated. …

4 Stars overall. I booked this because it was reduced massively from £160 per night to £60 because of the building work. My logic was that the work going on would be happening during the day. We were here for 4 nights. We had to move rooms on the second night because of the noise from the toilet waste system flushing all night, as they were still lagging this. They moved us from the annexe part of the hotel to the main part and a room at the end of the hotel that was huge and looked out to the west side of the building. I was more than happy with the new room. The staff were fantastic with us. It is a Thyme Restaurant, so it is a cut down menu and closes at 10pm. The hotel is only two streets from the underground and so I intended to go into the centre to eat which worked out perfectly. Plus, there is a huge amount of public art in the centre. Scultptures, statues, and art installations, which is my thing. Tick Tick Tick. If it is a similar price next time, I will definitely stay again. Parking is expensive, but it was included in the price when I booked my room online, so check this out. Beware, the vending machine costs a fortune, so bring your own snacks.

Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Easy check in, restaurant is great value. Rooms are always clean, well suited and quiet. I've stayed here many times without any issues. It's can get quite warm in the summer as there is no air con but they do have fans on request.

Rooms seem a bit tired, no USB charging points and only a mains socket on one side of the bed, rather outdated.||On the plus side the staff were pleasant and helpful.|Plenty of car parking and only a short stroll to the city centre.||Easy to get to and just outside of Glasgows LEZ.||Room was clean and comfortable.

I’m currently staying at this hotel because of major repair work being done in my house. I am thoroughly enjoying my stay and the staff are absolutely fantastic and have gone above and beyond in terms of service and they are so helpful and friendly with that extra special personal touch. I’m disabled and wheelchair reliant and the facilities are great and my room is comfortable, clean bed is huge and comfortable. The room has its en-suite wet room toilet with grab rails shower chair etc. I’m having a great time. It’s close to amenities the city centre being a stone’s throw away from the hotel. I use an electric wheelchair so I’m there in no time! I would highly recommend this hotel. The meals are fantastic too! 💯 🤤😋💖
