Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
they don’t have any lifts and lots of stairs so don’t advise staying if you’ve got luggage! The room wasn’t the most comfortable and it was a bit overpriced for what it was. Always wanted to stay there so I’m glad I tried it and it was comfortable enough but there’s a lot better offering in Glasgow

Worst bed I have slept in a long time. Rock hard bed that seemed to be on a slope. Cheap pillows and duvet. Modern fitted bathroom but sink so small the floor was soaked when trying to wash. Pleasant staff especially lady in the breakfast room. All areas nice and clean.
