If you are after a bit of independence with some hotel advantages this is for you.
Each suite has a well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to heat up or even cook meals. and M&S food hall is near, also a Tesco etc..... so all is convenient.
Nicely furnished,if a little tired. but cosy and comfortable.Rooms at the front have a nicer outlook but can be a little noisy at weekends but nothing a pair of earplugs can't sort! Rooms at the back look onto a car park - its a bit grim and not too tidy down there.
They are in the process of up-dating the bathrooms so make sure you get an up-graded bathroom.... the older ones are really in need of attention. I was booked into one with a very nasty rusty bath, but was moved immediately by a most helpful desk-clerk, who agreed that this bath was un-useable. The location is great for the town centre, for Merchant City shops and restaurants -Try the fab Cafe Gandalfi- and the business centre. I would also ask if there is a room with Venetian blinds or screens because you can be overlooked by the offices over the road. .... They leave their lights on all night and I prefer not to close my curtains at night - like to see the sky, but not a lot of bright office lights!
This is city centre living and makes for a great choice if you like to be able make your own breakfast, coffee, supper etc - what you want, when you want it!
Do also make the trip up to the West End though, Hillhead metro -its all a bit more village like up there - beautiful architecture, and everything you need in the lanes and gardens around the centre of the universe "the Byres Road"
Room Tip: ask for an up-graded bathroom, at the front for a better outlook.
