Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the service was excellent, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. However, the dining options were limited, and the price could be a bit high for some travelers.
The hotel is in a convenient location close to Glasgow city center. The rooms, despite having extremely small bathrooms, were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent quality. The service was good, but there could be improvements. Overall, it offers decent value for money.
The hotel is located in the vibrant Finnieston area of Glasgow, close to the Kelvingrove gallery and within reach of the city center. The rooms offer an excellent breakfast but come with extremely small bathrooms. The service at the reception desk is top-notch, but there is room for improvement in housekeeping. The hotel provides a prime location while facing the challenge of limited facilities on-site.
The hotel is located in a nice area really close to the city center. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with extremely small bathrooms being the only downside. The breakfast was good, and the service at the reception desk was excellent. However, the tours/ticket assistance could be improved. The facilities are well-maintained, but the Wi-Fi is not included in the price.
