John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly and efficient breakfast service. Great location for venues, bars and restaurants. Single room was nice despite the bathroom being a tight space. Duvet was thin and rather small but otherwise no issues. I'd stay here again for sure.
Tom, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall the hotel was good value for the money staff on breakfast duty were lovely however Check in experience was awful!!!! The guy sat with headphones on and his head down in his phone, he didn’t speak to us on entering hotel which was very hard to do as reception desk right next to front door, I had to initiate conversation he was vey matter of fact one word answers to my questions, and on leaving hotel to go out for dinner did not look or speak. Considering this is a very small hotel, a bit of polite conversation and a smile would have gone a long way. Other than that hotel was value for money.

Amazing little hotel in great location
Marta, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Zero local parking, small room and tiny bathroom. Couldn't even sit on the loo with the door closed, or get on the shower. Clean on the surface, but as layers of dust around the TV and sockets. Rusty fittings in the bathroom. Staff were generally very pleasant
Alan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Tired and dirty. Some staff helpful, some disinterested. Bed was extremely worn, mattress had collapsed and was very uncomfortable. Great location.

Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable beds in a quaint hotel. Surprisingly quiet for a city location. Very friendly staff, great location to explore the West End, Ashton Lane, Univ of Glasgow, Botanical Gardens and they serve a hearty breakfast! Parking is not onsite but plenty of free parking just a 5 min walk away.
Teresa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very nice hotel with all necessary amenities. Close to bus stops and the botanical garden. Loads of cafés, pub and restaurants in the neighbourhood. 10 mins from the subway. Moreover, the owner is a lovely person. Recommended !
Indrayush, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well located for the Kelvingrove Museum, Huntarian museums, botanic gardens and the University of Glasgow. It’s also about a five minute walk to the nearest subway station which will take you into the centre of Glasgow. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and all the staff were super-helpful and friendly. It was also well sound-proofed which I appreciated as I’m easily disturbed by traffic noise etc! The area is nice with lots of cafes, restaurants and bars, and some interesting shops.
Clare, 4-night trip

Overall this was a good hotel. Staff were lovely and accomodating. Lovely breakfast, best scrambled egg in a hotel i think I've ever had! Clean, only thing is a bit dated, maybe needs upgrading.

lovely easy check in. staff really helpful breakfast was lovely to. Only downside was that the remote did not work the t v. Not a massive problem - I found the buttons at the back of the T V, but it would be nice if it had worked.

It’s a good value for a nice lodging if you are planning to spend most of your time out and about. The interior is a bit dated and worn, but clean and tidy.
