My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were quiet despite being on a main road in the city center, clean, and exactly as expected. The whole hotel was lovely and clean, and my room was nice and warm with a really comfortable bed and a lovely view over the river. However, the option for a more centrally located property for future visits could be a consideration. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, always ready to help with a smile. The location was perfect for the event I was attending, offering a breathtaking view of the River Clyde. The dining experience was superb, especially with gluten-free options, and the included hot food was a bonus. The facilities were excellent overall.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was nice, the bed was comfy, and the shower was great. However, having to keep the windows open made it very noisy at night. The staff were friendly and even offered to hold my dog's lead while I collected breakfast. Overall, a helpful and welcoming service. The location was convenient for Glasgow nightlife and shopping, but the noise from the busy street was a drawback. The dining experience was okay, and the breakfast options were limited. The facilities were clean, and I appreciated the little extras like the microwave in the reception.

I must say, staying at this hotel was quite a mixed experience. While the rooms had an adjoining door which was fantastic for my large family with kids, it was so cold that we had to jump into bed to warm up. Unfortunately, there were no vegetables or fruit available, and the room felt a bit dull and dark, only relying on side lights and a lamp even during the day.
