Very Good

The staff were very helpful looked after us really well. The breakfast was excellent. and the hotel was in a great position in the middle of town and close to the bus and railway stations
They were doing some work on one of the elevators but that was not a problem. The room was small but fine. It is well located near Queen Street station and a great place to use as a base for visiting the city.
I often pick this hotel to stay at when in Glasgow. The first reason is because it is near all the places I have to be and like to visit.
The staff has always been very helpful in catering to my needs.
The rooms are comfortable and clean and the breakfast is worth paying for.
I don't drive in the city, so I cannot speak about parking, but I know the hotel always sends a message concerning where to park.
The hotel is doing some renovations at this time, but I found it still a good place to stay.
Centrally situated for pubs restaurant's theatres etc would stay again, breakfast was good and staff friendly and helpful. Room was good and bed was comfy
