Do not i repeat do not stay at this hotel
Bottle's emptied outside at midight then again at 1pm - No offer of a room change !!! then at 2.40am the bins were emptied and that lasted for a good 30mins - never heard so much noise

“internet drama”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

The food was good, people were nice but internet was drama. I regretted i din'nt stay in a hotel where internet is easier available. After several tries with help i was online only once. Internet was very important for me, so i don't think i'll come back and won't recommend this hotel to anyone.

“Something different”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

I was attracted to the hotel with the promise of the on-site Michael Caines restaurant...

Got to the hotel quite late but the receptionist was still cheerful and welcoming.

Went up to my room in a quaint old lift (the ones where you have to close the gate behind you!) which was rather fun.

My room was okay - clean enough, quiet and had what you expected (although ironing board had to be brought up - which they happily did), but did not measure up to what I had hoped as it was a bit pokey and has seen better days - not very inspiring.

Went down for an evening meal and the Michael Caines restaurant was a 'funky' basement place, but was almost empty - however the service was excellent and the food equally so.

I did some work back in my room but after I finished I needed to escape and so I had a drink or two in the bar - the barman was very friendly and made the evening memorable by recommending one or two unusual cocktails.

Overall would stay again so long as I just use the bedroom as somewhere to sleep.

“Great location, dirty/old inside”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed for 2 nights on business at 150/night

Location - 5/5 city centre
Facilities - 3/5 no minibar in room, no complimentary water, but has "Michael Caine" restaurant. Has free Internet but you need a laptop with LAN cable port so no wifi (unless you are at lobby area)
Cleanliness - 1/5 bathroom very dirty. Cracked floor tiles, moldy bathroom, paint flaking off
Bedroom - 3/5 mattress too soft for me, cheap/no frills furniture, TV system very basic

Top tip - book a room not facing the main road if you want to get some sleep. Too many drunken lads shouting all night as there is a pub next door. Newspaper is not complimentary so expect a nasty surprise during check out.

Overall - this is better than Travelodge etc., but it's certainly not somewhere you take your missus for a weekend.

Room Tip: book a room away from main road

“Room Very Poor”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I am a business user who spends many nights in Glasgow. This hotel appeared on our approved list so i gave it a try - what a disappointment. Arrived at 10pm to a less than friendly welcome from the receptionist. Given a 3rd room (312) which was disgusting. Mould around the bath/shower, sink taps that were not fixed properly, sink plug mechanism broken, no iron board/iron in the room. Internet access was via a cable from the behind the television which had to be run across the room to the desk - a health & safety hazard if ever there was one. The noise was unbearable and overall i would not recommend this hotel. The only saving grace was the breakfast which was excellent aside from my server having very bad body odour (BO). A experience to be forgotten. I would have given my feedback on checkout but the reception was busy, understaffed and i gave up waiting.

Room Tip: Choose another hotel!
