I have stayed at McLays several times. The rates are great, my room is always clean and comfortable, the location is convenient to Sauchiehall Street, bus and train stations, Kelvingrove Park, etc., and the included breakfast is cooked to order and excellent. They have several different room arrangements, including rooms that will accommodate families or groups of 5/6 friends. Most... More

I stayed for one night and had a single room. The room was clean but very old fashioned. The bathroom/toilet was separate and quite far away. The very positive things were: The room was quiet The staff was friendly The breakfast was excellent (made fresh to order) It was in walking distance to Buchanan Central Bus Station and Central Station.

We stayed at McLays Guest House for 3 nights in October. After we got to our room through a maze of corridors we found it to be big enough, considering the budget. High ceiling was a bit of a surprise, considering the bathroom ceiling was so low you couldn't stand up right in the bath without hitting it with your... More

I stayed at McLays Guest House for several nights while staying in Glasgow. I had a single room and was happy with the size and cleanliness of the room. The large TV and free coffee and tea were an added bonus. The location is excellent, just a 15 minute walk to Glasgow Central train station and right down the road... More

- Not the cheapest but surely central location (located on a hill and just down the hill - 3 minutes walk - you have all restaurants and clubs). - Rooms were big enough, clean enough, towels changed daily. - Snack and drinks machine. - Not noisy at all! ......in a nut shell, it is not a luxury hotel but it...

I was booked in by my employer as I was on a course near by. The decor is very basic. Some of the staff are pleasant, a man, possibly the owner manager is very cheery, but some have an attitude! The bedrooms are comfortable but look worn out. The breakfast is a heart attack on a plate - very greasy.... More

I have been to this hotel on several occasions and each time the standards have been very good hence my return visits. The staff are friendly and attend to requests promptly with enthusiasm. The location is good with all that is needed for an enjoyable visit to Glasgow within walking distance.

This place is clean. It's a cost-effective way of spending a night in Glasgow. There's no Wifi in the rooms, but there's free Wifi in the dining room. That was good enough for me. No fancy stuff there, just the affordable basics to spend the night.
