Great hotel. Lovely room. Friendly and helpful staff. Only one small thing, larger bath towels would be better.

Mixed experience
Firstly the good, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was quite good but the bad outweighs this unfortunately. The rooms are small and the beds are both small and pretty uncomfortable. There is no parking available nearby, which to be fair I should have researched before booking, and unless you know Glasgow, it’s difficult to find free on-street parking which there is about 15 minutes walk away. There isn’t really a car park nearby. For the money we paid, I would have expected better rooms and comfort, so despite the friendly & helpful staff, I wouldn’t return

Good
It was fine. Room at the back was nice and quiet but peeling wallpaper near the door so was a bit tatty. Clean though. En suite was hilariously tiny but just me so not a problem. Bed was a bit hard but all fine overall for one night.

Nice hotel but lots of flaws
No options for parking at all unless we went to an overnight car park a five minute walk away which we had to move the car by 8am. Really noisy at 5am onwards outside our room as we were right next to the kitchen/dining room. Lots of talking and moving and banging around from the staff preparing for breakfast. Was a pleasant and clean hotel but the rule about being in bed asleep by 10pm wasn’t reciprocated when they were making lots of noise at 5 am

JENNIFER, NEW BEDFORD

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
My room was not the cleanest it could have been with mold in the shower and random splotches on the walls. The neighborhood while awesome because it’s lively and young but the trade off is that this also means it’s loud at night … like till 3, 4am . I’m hoping I just got a tired room and that the others are fine.

Older But Desirable
Older apartment house type accommodations. I had three heavy bags to take up to my third floor single room. The interior bathroom was probably 3 x 8 ft….felt a bit pinched. Most rooms in independent hotels have 24” televisions and don’t carry Sky Sports…a must during the biggest sports week in Scotland during The Open Championship. Management were attentive and above average in skills. A good British style breakfast is served daily the subject property is located in the West End not far from the University of Glasgow and is accessible to the subway !
