Good Points: Very friendly and helpful staff. Position of hotel close to area we wanted to visit.
Further Comments: Had a problem checking in as the hotel were unaware that the were coming. By sheer luck, they had available rooms to suit our needs. They had not been informed by yourselves that the reservations had been made. Had they not had availability, our night out would have been ruined. Hotel staff very helpful and willing to accomodate us.

Good Points: We were desperate for a good night sleep and were very pleased at how quiet the room was considering yours is a city hotel.
Bad Points: The bedside lamps were almost too dark to read by and one of the bulbs was dead. Also the light on the shaving mirror was on working.

Good Points: Reasonably priced, clean, excellent breakfast.
Bad Points: Thought check in could have been at a more reasonable time. We jhad an appointment at 3pm(check in time) but the problem of luggage storage was immediately sorted out.
Further Comments: From the outside and on the inside, it looked a good place to stay, reasonably priced and well kept. Travelled light and arrived at noon but room was not ready until 3pm. But what luggage we had was safely stored away. Room clean, bed comfortable and TV worked. The only minor criticism was there was a stain on the carpet, the toilet would not flush first time (sometimes 4-6 flushes) and although the shower worked, they had this weird dispenser for soap, shampoo etc on the wall but it was outside as I had to lean out and press a button for soap. The hotel recommended a few restaurants near-by. The Greek one was terrific as was the breakfast in the hotel next morning. There are only minor problems with the room and it will not deter me in making a return visit in the future and it did not detract from the great/memorable day we had in Glasgow (28.7.07)

Good Points: This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Room nicely furnished and fairly spacious with good amenities (shampoo, gel, heated towel rack, tea/coffee). Front desk staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast and parking included. Great location near park, museums, restaurants and shopping.
Bad Points: Size of double room bed was not specified on web site - would have preferred the king size bed as opposed to two singles if I had known this was an option (one of the couples had a king size bed in our booking). There was a bit of mould on the walls of the shower.
Further Comments: Location was perfect for our purposes - within 10 mins. walk of many restaurants, the famed Kelvingrove Museum, a lovely walk through Kelvingrove Park to Glasgow University's Hunterian Museum which includes 'The Mackintosh House'. Also within 15-20 mins. walking distance to more central Sachiehill pedestrian shopping/eating/pub district, and maybe 30 min walk to central railway station. If you're looking for traditional Scottish cuisine, can recommend Blas restaurant which was right across from the main entrance of the Kelvingrove Museum (10 min walk) - lovely ambience, nicely designed, delicious food and knowledgeable staff. 'Blas' means taste in Gaelic. (lamb stew and venison were excellent, cheesecake was actually cheesy not sweet - wonderful)

Good Points: The size of the room was very good.
Bad Points: Radio alarm did not work. No shampoo in bathroom. Previous occupants rubbish (newspaper, empty bottle and carrier bag in drawer)No decaffinated coffee in the room.
Further Comments: The hotel was very convenient for the function we were attending. The check in staff were excellent, but the dining room staff at breakfast were very poor. Not one of them knew what decaffinated coffee was, and I had to have tea instead.
