Good Points: It was clean and the staff were friendly
Bad Points: We got told on arrival that we had been upgraded - if that was an upgrade I wonder what the original room was like.
Further Comments: The room was very small and not represented from the pictures on the website - this was after an upgrade?

Good Points: Location and friendly and helpful staff
Bad Points: Bathroom not as clean as it could have been
Further Comments: Location fantastic within walking distance to all the shops. Buchanan Street shops are fantastic with good restaurants all around. (TGI Fridays was also worth a visit but would perhaps recommend booking on a Saturday night) Only approx 10 minutes to Hampden Stadium. Hotel staff ordered taxi and it arrived very quickly. A good hotel if you want to see out an about!

Good Points: The hotel is clean ,spacious , and bedroom is adequately furnished. I found staff very courteos at all times,the hotel is situated above a disco i believe, to be honest, i intially only heard it for 5 mins before falling asleep. Hotel is centrally located with only a short walk to nearby bars etc ,rail stations and bus terminals are close by. Would not hesitate to use again.
Bad Points: Only one minor problem it has no sign indicating it is a hotel i actually walked by it twice a minor detail which i believe should be rectified this is the only thing i would critise on
Further Comments: Over all a excellant hotel in a central location read reviews prior to arriving and formed the opinion we were in for a short uncomfortable stay but I was soon proved wrong Having stayed in hotels all over world this is near the top however if you want to pay 5* go ahead,this hotel would suit the traveler on a perhaps a lower budget than 5* but a bed is a bed for the night when you are tired who cares would use this hotel again.

Good Points: Not much at all
Bad Points: Claustrophobic decor and size of rooms
Further Comments: Good location but this hotel was a great disappointment. Poor signage outside was the start of a poor experience. The decor was dark, trying to be trendy. The room was small with a solid brick wall for an outlook. Room 403 was between the office and a storeroom both of which were accessed regularly, i.e. every 15 minutes or so, throughout the evening with someone carrying a bunch of keys to rival Marley's ghost. At 11.45 I complained about the noise of the slamming doors and they did then try to keep the noise down. I could not recommend this hotel.

Good Points: Not very much: the room was tiny and noisy due to the night club next door.
Bad Points: The night club music disturbed us until after 2am, and the clubbers were noisy leaving. The reception was disorganised and not very friendly. The room was extremely small although I had asked if we could have a reasonable sized room. The decor was almost non existant and the room felt not so much minimal as paltry and bland. You could not walk comfortably around the bed because the room was so cramped. There was no remote control for the TV and the lighting was harsh.
Further Comments: I could not recommend this hotel. I didn't find it value for money in any sense and I would not stay there again. The quality of service was generally poor and the decor was bland and tawdry. It was also noisy and cramped and we would have left if it hadn't been so late when we arrived. I did not think it a good choice at all.
