Very convenient location. Very nice neighborhood. Very much liked the walkway and park across the street by the river. The facilities are very nice and would stay there again if we visit Glasgow in the future. The cab drivers even commented that we were staying in a very good neighborhood. Thank you for a wonderful stay. The picture of the room with three beds and showing the kitchen is what we expected. The room we were in did not look like the picture. The web site pictures are deceiving.

Fabulous value and a great base for exploring Glasgow! This self catering unit provided an amazing amount of space for my group of 4. The separate kitchen and dining area worked out wonderfully and the huge studio provided ample accommodations for 5 (3 twins & 1 double). The beds were arranged around the perimeter of the large studio room and living area. The Embassy Apartments are located right behind the beautiful Glasgow Botanic Gardens, within easy walking distance of the Kelvingrove Art Museum and just a short subway ride into the city center from the nearby Hillhead stop on Byers Road. A fabulous Waitrose grocery store is also located on Byers Road very near to the subway stop, making it easy to pick up what you want to cook for dinner on your way home from a day exploring Glasgow's city center.

The apartment was so much better than I'd expected. The lady who checked us in (early) was really nice and helpful. The location was ideal. Nothing at all

Really central maybe the car park is hard to access, and we had to move our car in the morning as another couldn't get out!

Our room was very huge, had a nice and big kitchen, and a few chair, couches and a table in the main room. Clean, comfy and really nice. Located a few miles from the actual city center of Glasgow, so we took a cab back at night (cost us about 8-10 pounds). Really recommended, and good value for the money.

This apartment suited my needs i.e. quiet, clean, nice outside area, near Botanic Gardens and easy access to City. The young woman who changed the bed and supplied clean laundry was extremely pleasant and seem to have a genuine interest in me as a guest. Although it was self catering it would have been useful to have had the bin in my apt emptied or where I could have emptied it!!. I did cook and the bin was full of parts of food etc there was no advice on who and when put the trash out!
