Location is absolutely brilliant. Everything one might need is nearby - cafés, restaurants, bus stops, train station, and markets. Staff is helpful, kind, and efficient. Breakfast is delicious, and there's a lot to choose from - hot drinks, juices, fruits, scottish traditional breakfast items, and some more.

Michelline Brazil

The breakfast was fantastic- a full breakfast buffet. I love the location in Glasgow City Centre- convenient to everything.

Patricia United States of America

Room was bigger than most in the city centre, even had 2 double settee's, breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly.

Colin United Kingdom

Location suited me more than well and breakfast was consistently very good. I have now stayed here multiple times as the hotel meets all my needs.

John United Kingdom

The comfortable beds. Staff were lovely. The breakfast was good, the original features, lovely staircase and iron railing were gorgeous. Beautiful art work on the walls. High ceilings, with lovely plaster work, with Greek design along the top of the wall at the reception.

Linda United Kingdom

I stayed in one of the newly refurbished rooms and it was wonderful! My room was spacious with tall windows letting in tons of natural light. The bed was comfortable and I slept soundly. It is a very close walk from Central Station, a bit longer from Queen Street but definitely still doable. I was only a couple of blocks from the Airport Express bus stop, which was very convenient. There were many tasty options from the breakfast buffet. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful in retrieving an item I had left behind when I stayed there three weeks prior. A very convenient and affordable place to stay.
