McLays Guest House  

The only thing I liked about McLays Guest House was the price and even then it was debatable if it justified even the low cost.

In my opinion McLays Guest House is the shoddiest, most badly maintained most ill equipped Guest House I have ever had the misfortune to stay in. The walls were cracked, black mould on the windows which were permanantly covered in condensation , the radiator did not work in either of 2 rooms (I was advised later that they did work it was just that they took some time to work!!!!), the TV did not work properly- I have never stayed anywhere before where basic BBC was not available (this was expalined by the Digital/analogue switch over - peculiar as it was recieving Sky Sports!!), the food was very greasy ie eggs dripping fat. It also has the added joy of having a nearby nightclub booming away into the late early hours without the benefit of any double glazing. I will never set foot there again and would recommend others not to do so. It also has very steep steps and no lifts. It is cheap and you can see why.

I'd definetely recommend McLays to anyone who is looking for a cheap accomadation. It was cheap, room was clean and comfortable and the staff was always friendly. And don't forget that its really close to buchanan bus station and sauchiehall street :) Breakfast was maybe not so full of diversity but it was more than enough for me, especially for this price.

It was a great loccation for going into Town.

Only thing i would say about room was the TV channles you recieved, as i was staying with my 6yr old we were back to room in the early evening & dissapointed that you only got sky sports & sky 1, it would of been nice to get the normal 1-5 channels.

It was close to the Glasgow School of Art, and it was quite inexpensive. WiFi was free but available only in the dining room.

Staff were a bit dour but helpful nonetheless. There were a lot of hills between it and the main train station: they should recommend one go to the Charing Cross station which requires climbing only one his with your suitcases.

Mclays had very few redeeming features. One of the four i spoke to was helpful and knew what she was doing.

Where do i start? The exterior upon arrival is awful and the interior reception area is no better. Reception staff looked like they needed a good wash, which doesn't bode well for the rooms. The rabbit warren of a building is difficult to navigate and no attempt is made by the reception staff to help direct you to your room. The corridors of this hotel, from paint work to carpets make you feel like the building is ready for demolition and quite frankly, it should be. The rooms were a varying degree of unsanitary nitemare. One of our group failed to sleep because of the overwhelming smell of faeces in his room. The walls were paper thin. Regardless of whether a B n B is cheap, it doesn't excuse the place being unclean. Would i recommend this place to people seeking a cheap place to stay in Glasgow? Considering this is the worse place i have ever stayed, which is quite a claim seeing as i have travelled consistently on business for over ten years, i will be going out of my way to do the opposite. Just say no, kids!

It met our needs for a central location with an excellent breakfast and we were quite satisfied and have booked for our next visit to the City.

The corridors and carpets could do with a lick of paint/cleaning but we were satisfied

the price

it was a bit gruby could do with redecoration

The staff are always really friendly. Have stayed there a few times and they always recognise us. You get a lovely cooked breakfast in the morning

Friendly staff, great rooms, super breakfast, great location. Excellent value for money.

Waiting to get key back on return from going out but costs involved in changing locks to modern type would make stay more expensive so can wait a wee while :-)

Very nice, friendly and helpful staff good value for money tea cattle on room

A basic bed and breakfast hotel, but in the right part of town, with nice friendly staff, and clean faily spacious rooms, cannot recommend highly enough, and yes, I will be back

Could be done with a bit of a freshen up, but thats not a complaint but any means, it would just make it even better than it is

Facilities comfy and clean plus the hotel is in the centre

Cheap & Cheerful.
