    convenient amenities

    This place suits me perfectly with free Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, and luggage storage. The staff helped me with my room issue at night, which I remember fondly. I recommend the express check-in for a smooth arrival.

    cozy room
    games room
    garden area
    slow wi-fi

    I had a cozy night where the kids loved the simple and clean room, and we all enjoyed the games room to unwind. There’s also a nice little garden area perfect for relaxing after a long day. The only downside was the Wi-Fi could've been a bit faster, but overall, I’d recommend it for families looking for a chill spot! 😊

    Can just recommend for a short visit

    Clean room, friendly staff, and the excellent location made our stay enjoyable, with a refreshing shower after exploring the nearby areas for the day, and the complimentary wi-fi available in our room was a nice bonus.

    All good.

    The hotel offered a clean and comfortable room, with friendly staff making the experience nicer. Though the décor seemed a bit dated and the mattress could use replacement, the location was fantastic for sightseeing. It’s a solid choice for budget travelers seeking convenience.

    great park access
    friendly staff

    fantastic access to parks and cultural landmarks for city strolling

    My weekend stay was made perfect by the hotel's proximity to kelvingrove park just 500 meters away and the stunning kelvingrove art gallery and museum, which was also a short walk, allowing me to enjoy leisurely strolls through beautiful greenscapes and immerse myself in amazing art during my explorations. the friendly staff were helpful, making for an enjoyable experience overall, though the room could benefit from some updates.

    Perfect place for a solo traveler

    I had a well-deserved break here. The staff were so friendly, they even remembered my name the next day. Plus, they had a kettle in my room that was a lifesaver for those long nights. Can't believe I got all this for a good price!

    It wasn't the most economical option out there, but it was certainly acceptable.

    quick wi-fi
    frustrating check-in
    inconvenient shared bathroom
    rushed staff interactions

    The top-floor single room was clean and had quick Wi-Fi. the check-in process was frustrating as my room was still occupied, leading to a longer wait than expected. the shared bathroom was a bit inconvenient, and some staff interactions felt rushed. Street parking was easy after peak hours, though, adding some convenience to the location.

    Decent English breakfast that hits the spot. Great location for exploring the Kelvingrove area, just a 20-30 minute walk to the city center.

    The room had a small queen-size bed that felt a bit cramped for two. No shower towel—just a thin tea towel, which was a surprising letdown. The noise from the adjoining dining rooms and kitchen made it challenging to relax, especially considering the lack of soundproofing in a basement room. if you just need a place to crash, it might suffice.

    spacious room
    soft beds
    nice size tvs
    stained towels
    malfunctioning hairdryer

    My stay was delightful, as I appreciated the spaciousness of the family room, which helped create a relaxed atmosphere. The soft beds and nice size TVs were a bonus. we did encounter some cleanliness issues, such as stained towels and a hairdryer that malfunctioned. the environment was cozy and welcoming, which made up for a few minor hiccups.

    great location
    friendly staff
    decent breakfast
    no lift
    tired decor
    cleaning issues

    The hotel had a great location. I could easily walk to most attractions in the area. My room was small but tidy, which met my needs. Breakfast options were decent and provided enough fuel for my day. The staff proved to be friendly and accommodating, which made my stay comfortable. there was no lift, making it challenging to carry my luggage up to the third floor. The decor felt a bit tired, lacking a refreshed look. Some amenities needed improvement, like cleaner shared bathrooms. the experience balanced convenience and quality.
