Arrived late (after 11pm) but they'd left a note for me and my keys were in a Safe box. Lovely hotel and great location for the West End. Managed to get a spot in the rear carpark at the rear so very happy.

6/10 Good

Whilst parking is available, the spaces are tight and made difficult if other cars are parked poorly. The lane leading to the parking will test your suspension, so go easy! The room itself was spotless with good heating and ventilation. It could do with a bit of modernisation and the floor are uneven. Its an old building so to be expected. Staff were friendly and attentive. I didnt have the breakfast but it smelt good as it wafted into my room!

Excelente location with friendly staff. The lack of an elevator was an issue. If you can't climb stairs, request a ground floor room. There's a nice river trail steps from the hotel. The Botanic Garden and many good restaurants are a short walk away.

Great Location.

The hotel had limited off site parking, so ended up having to pay for street parking which was quite expensive. However, the location was ideal for the West End of Glasgow.

10/10 service and nice hotel

10/10 for man on reception stayed in room 15 which had no view other than roof plus room has support beam right next to bed but room was satisfactorily clean with exception of few high areas with dust but overall clean and tidy and nice hotel. Breakfast was ok nothing great but to sum up service and hotel lovely and definitely would stay again maybe not in that room.

8/10 Very good

Lovely little hotel, very clean, excellent service in a beautiful location. Only small criticisms is a very wobbly wardrobe in the room which didnt feel very safe, no toiletries in bathroom (soap dispensers empty), and a poor choice of drinks in room. Not enough to put me off staying again, I would certainly be back, but I'd be aware to bring coffee, soap and shower gel next time!
Verified review

6/10 Good

they don’t have any lifts and lots of stairs so don’t advise staying if you’ve got luggage! The room wasn’t the most comfortable and it was a bit overpriced for what it was. Always wanted to stay there so I’m glad I tried it and it was comfortable enough but there’s a lot better offering in Glasgow
