The Room was small but it had everything that was required and it was clean. The two reception staff whom i talked with were cautious and polite, the breakfast was good and reception was helpful when i asked about buses. It is a 40min walk from Buchanan Bus Station but quite easy with google maps. The music venue Oran Mor just a five minute walk away also The Botanical Gardens just the same.

Friendly and efficient breakfast service. Great location for venues, bars and restaurants. Single room was nice despite the bathroom being a tight space. Duvet was thin and rather small but otherwise no issues. I'd stay here again for sure.

Easy walk to restaurants on the West End, as well as the University of Glasgow and the Botanical Gardens. This is a boutique hotel, so please be prepared for smaller guest rooms, including small bathroom and limited closet space. Staff was very kind to us throughout our stay.

Overall the hotel was good value for the money staff on breakfast duty were lovely however Check in experience was awful!!!! The guy sat with headphones on and his head down in his phone, he didn’t speak to us on entering hotel which was very hard to do as reception desk right next to front door, I had to initiate conversation he was vey matter of fact one word answers to my questions, and on leaving hotel to go out for dinner did not look or speak. Considering this is a very small hotel, a bit of polite conversation and a smile would have gone a long way. Other than that hotel was value for money.

Zero local parking, small room and tiny bathroom. Couldn't even sit on the loo with the door closed, or get on the shower. Clean on the surface, but as layers of dust around the TV and sockets. Rusty fittings in the bathroom. Staff were generally very pleasant

Well located for the Kelvingrove Museum, Huntarian museums, botanic gardens and the University of Glasgow. It’s also about a five minute walk to the nearest subway station which will take you into the centre of Glasgow. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and all the staff were super-helpful and friendly. It was also well sound-proofed which I appreciated as I’m easily disturbed by traffic noise etc! The area is nice with lots of cafes, restaurants and bars, and some interesting shops.
