The room was ok for what we paid but the parking was a nightmare ! We didn’t have coins for meter parking and wouldn’t take USA credit cards and nothing was close at all and we didn’t feel safe two older ladies walking 15minutes from possible free street parking down 5 blocks; it was close to the university , food choices & shopping areas ; the owner was nice to help us next day ; the rooms were just room with lumpy beds but clean .

For the price we paid excellent place, close to the westend for visiting son at uni. Room was clean and well equipped. Cons - bed too small and uncomfortable, also parking is an issue. The car park the hotel mention (Ashton road) is not actually free. Drove to Kirklee road through Botanical gardens which is 10 min walk away

Hotel advised where we could get free parking which was a bonus considering the price of the parking in the area. It was only a ten minute walk away through the botanic gardens which was lovely so many squirrels to see was lovely. Hotel very clean and tidy, lovely tartan accessories which was a nice touch. Ensuite small but adequate. Breakfast was excellent, the best breakfast we have had in a long time. A good selection and the sausages, bacon, mushrooms etc was excellent. All tasted great. 5 ***** for breakfast. Very quiet area and 30 minute walk to hydro. Bed a little firm for me personally but enjoyed our stay.

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 location and spacious room for the price but I'd understood there was free hotel parking. There is no hotel parking and couldn't stop the car outside. Was advised to use free on-street parking a 12-minute walk away. Could be difficult to carry luggage that far, and in the dark when Botanical Gardens is closed the walk is a bit longer.

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.

Check-in was easy, despite being street-facing the room was very quiet. Perfect location & cutely decorated. Reduced stars for cleanliness - black stains all over the sheets and a moldy growth in the bathroom. The stairs and hall leading to the room were quite grungy as well.

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.

The Hotel is in a good location on the great western road, which was why we chose it for the trip. Check in was ok - the desk guy was efficient if not very friendly. We chose a delux room, which had double height ceilings and lots of light. The furniture and bathroom was tired but clean. The bed needs a new mattress. The bathroom lighting was weirdly configured with the switch away from the door in the main bedroom. The towels were tiny and scratchy. But I slept ok and that is key. Just expected a little more for the money. There was no fridge, no iron in the room and breakfast was £10 a head more. I waited to give some feedback but no one came to the desk

The front of the hotel is appealing and safely hidden from the main street. The complimentary traditional Scottish breakfast was good. The only real problem was the bed- which was basically a long high mound in the middle, slipping down to shallow valleys on either side, like a topographical map. Shops and food are a short walk away. The nearest subway stations are about a 5-8 minute walk.

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.

Not suitable for children, had no high chairs for breakfast time for our two year old. Had a family room but it was tiny, room was outdated and needs upgrading or a good clean. Staff pretty much sat behind hotel desk on their phone, no helloes at all. All in all it was a place to sleep but wont be staying here again.

Absolutely brilliant hotel. I always judge a place by how the bathroom is and I’m pleased to report it was spotless, the shower was a good size (good if you’re plus size) and the water pressure was great. Knocked one star off as the bed was a bit lumpy, but I won’t grumble too much. Loads of free on street parking (weekends only) if you arrive at night after pub chucking out time. And it’s a perfect crash pad for after gigs as the front desk is open overnight.
