Nice clean spacious room. Was quite cold when we first checked in. Rang reception who said they would sort it. After an hour it was still cold so went down to reception, was given a portable heater, thought it was a bit strange I had to take it to my room myself but anyway it heated the room up.
Our room was right outside the lifts so was quite noisy through the night and early morning with people coming and going .
Beds were very comfy and the room very clean.
Breakfast was great, lots to choose from and staff really friendly.
Would stay again but would probably ask for a room away from the lifts.
Great hotel, the reception staff were amazing, very friendly and really helpful.
We checked in late, but they helped us with a smile and offered food and drinks.
Thank you for making our stay great.
Really good service.
Very clean cosy room, comfy bed and hot shower. Quiet at night despite a road facing room. All staff were friendly and professional. Great value for money - would definitely stay there again
The people in the front desk (Kelly and Mihaus) were beyond excellent service.
They made our family trip to be even better than we planned.
Because of them we really to go back soon
I had a very good night's sleep. Comfy bed and blackout curtains. Quiet on the first floor - thankfully. Lots of choice at breakfast. Shame no Earl Grey tea option.
We were 2 friends going to see Simply Red at the OVO Hydro. Hotel was clean and comfortable and very friendly staff. Only had breakfast which was lovely. Was not too far to walk to the Hydro and the price was very reasonable.
We stayed for one week during our first international trip and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House keeping cleaned the rooms daily and were very thorough; parking was directly across the street and affordable compared to other parking locations! The St. Enoch shopping centre and Princes square along with all downtown amenities were all within walking distance! Daily complimentary breakfast was very good with many options! We had an excellent stay!
An excellent stay for the last two days of our trip! Conveniently located, good sized room and a friendly staff! We would definitely stay here again when back in Glasgow
Desk staff was very helpful storing luggage until check in room was clean and comfortable location great access to city centre easy access to the airport
