“Perfectly adequate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

This is a bed-and-breakfast hotel in the heart of Glasgow close to Suachiehall Street and opposite the Glasgow School of Art. The building is one of a terrace of elegant Victorian town houses which are all small hotels.
I booked through laterooms.com and paid £25 for an en-suite single room including the £3 breakfast supplement.
The hotel is accessed by steep steps from the street and is unsuitable for people who need assistance walking or who use wheelchairs.
My room was on the second floor and faced the street, which is generally quiet at night in any case. The room had just been repainted and there was a fairly strong smell of paint as a consequence. The room was clean. There weren't any curtains at the window, which would be a problem in the summer. The en-suite shower room was satisfactory and soap and (smallish) towels were provided. The bed turned out to be a queen-size, new and comfortable, although with no headboard and only two pillows, sitting up to read in bed wasn't ideal.
Breakfast was served in the basement dining room and was just about acceptable. No frills, but I wasn't expecting any for £3.
The location is fine for the city centre if you don't mind walking - and I don't.

“Room was ok but the breakfast was not”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

people found this review helpful

not to be confused with the rennie mackintosh station hotel which i reviewed at another date.
the room was ok and if you dont mind walking up and down very steep streets it is nicely situated. the price for the room was fine and clean with a brand new mattress. the only major minus was the breakfast: it was cheap enough but i´d rather have paid a pound or 2 more for decent quality. it was also overcooked.
on the plus side: the staff were helpful and there are loads of good and value for money restaurants close by. i would stay there again if the rennie mackintosh station hotel is fully booked.

“Great inner city boutique hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

I really enjoyed my stay here, it is very central to the city. Room was clean and had new modern amenities, like the tv. I would stay here again.

“For what you pay this hotel is great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Stayed here for just 1night. I'm a 22year old girl & was going out in Glasgow so just booked somewhere cheap to sleep for the night. Paid £50 for the room ( between 2 of us ) so wasn't expecting much but I was really pleasantly surprised. Our room was massive, had a twin & single bed, flat screen TV with free view, tea & coffee making facilities. Bathroom was okay, could do with being re-grouted but it was clean enough. Hotel is in a great location, a back street but only 2mins walk from 1 of the main streets ( can't remember which one )

Overall, for what you pay you really can't moan. Staff were friendly & rooms had everything you need

“Exactly what it says on the tin!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

Its a cheap hotel in a big city. The bed linen was clean, the towels were clean, the room was a bit shabby but the carpet was fine. The bathroom was fit for purpose. I stayed in a single en suite for one night and it was absolutely adequate. Its in a bit of a dodgy looking area but the staff were friendly and helpful - the policy is to pay on check in but sufficiently inexpensive that its not a problem. If you want the Ritz - go stay at the Ritz but if you want a comfortable homely no frills hotel close to central Glasgow this is absolutely fine - manage your expectations and enjoy it for what it is. I would stay again - not for a weekend but after a gig or when I have to go to the Glasgow office for a few days. The breakfast, by the way, was bl00dy marvelous - much better than either the Marriot, the Novotel or even The Mint. and the service was friendly, informal and welcoming.
