Reasonable for a city centre hotel. Car park is NCPover the road, so a little difficult if you have a number of bags.
Staff friendly and hotel very similar to others in chain

Excellent stay
Amazingly friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast that's included as well as a menu with toasties (my new fave food!) Soft drinks and a small bar are available. At another place now for triple the price in another city and their toasties don't hold a candle to them. Beds were firm, and soft and firm pillow provided. The Scotia, oldest pub in Glasgow, was at end of the block. Very enjoyable stay!

The hotel inside was excellent with very respectful and efficient staff who offered a wealth of information. The breakfast was first class and well presented
Unfortunately, the hotel is located in an area of Glasgow which is still being redeveloped and in serious need of improvement however, it was only a short walk to the centre and good attractions

Good location, good breakfast, discounted parking
Nice comfortable stay. Room was a little cold though. The shower water was discoloured so had to run it for a while before it ran clear. Bit noisy during the night with latecomers. Good breakfast, discounted 24hr parking across the road.
