Well maintained older property adjacent to botanic gardens. Located in a very walkable, pleasant part of Glasgow. Friendly, helpful staff.

Excellent location near the lovely park, and tons of restaurants and a bit of shopping. We had a very comfy couch in front of a huge bay window that was very nice, and we loved the old details in the room.

Great location- steps away from the Botanic Gardens which led to other West End places.

The room was well appointed with a desk looking out to the nearby park. It was an excellent location, short walk to local shops/cafe/restaurant. It was easy to find and I was able to park without issue. Staff very friendly.
