Excellent value for money , can’t moan and would definitely stay again if needed too.
Very basic but this is reflected in the price you pay
Good location for the 12min walk.
A strangely located budget hotel; the room itself is good but location above a pub is awkward in the evening

It was all over good but hotel was above the bar which was noisy at night and unpleasant for family stay. Water kittle was not cleaned properly. Towels were not sufficient. Main thing is hotel front desk was another side of the road in an Indian restaurant and restaurant get closed after 8 or 9 pm and no intercom in rooms . It was literally horrifying after getting dark.
Yes very helpful and polite enjoyed our stay. Will book again in the near future.

If your on holiday in Glasgow. Or celebrating an anniversary with the wife. Or lord&lady Muck on the way to ones horse racing at Hamilton. This place will just not suffice. However if you're a contractor just looking for a bed for the night and want a pint in the pub with a curry across the road or your with someone else's wife , a hot shower this place scores 10/10. . No music there on a Thursday. Good luck every one
Very disappointing stay
Cold unfriendly welcome
Nowhere to park
Tv did not work properly
Bed very hard and uncomfortable
And to top it all, no sleep due to the live music until 1am banging doors and shouting customers leaving the pub.

It was a clean room with excellent bathroom and very comfortable beds. Pub below was a little noisy but that stopped and everything was a good nights sleep

Shower in room 5 needs the tile grout bleached and cleaned properly. Also the room window is not sealed and locking properly. noise from traffic is constant as a result.
All fine otherwise

Sadly this was going to be 4 star but things took a turn for the worse on Friday. The room is large, clean and the bathroom is well appointed. Location is about 15 minute walk from station with direct trains to Glasgow Central Station. Seemed ideal for us for a 3 night stay. The room is directly above pub and Friday night is Karaoke which is extremely loud and the bass notes vibrations can be felt. This goes on till 1am. The owner is aware of the effect on the guests but chooses not to do anything as can be found from others reviews. If the music stopped at 11pm that would suffice for most guests I would suggest. I write this whilst sitting in the room on Saturday night at 11pm and there is another karaoke whilst the people in the bar wait for Scotland's World Cup kick off at 2am. Looks like the next sleep I will have will be on the train home tomorrow. Maybe just bad timing but the pub does advertise other events.
Accommodation was relatively easy to find.. Booking in was unusual as I had to check in at the India restaurant apposite the accommodation. Staff very friendly. Room spacious and clean. Comfortable beds. Toilet clean and tidy. Yes/coffee facility available. A bit noisy during the evening with the pub being below the accommodation but not a major issue. Reasonable priced... Now that I know the setup .Yes Id probably stay again..
Provided a room which was comfortable at very reasonable cost. The only downside is the Kareoae in the Bar which goes on until midnight. But I took part !

Apart from check-in didn’t have any interactions with any staff

We enjoyed our stay - the room was large and spacious, however it would have been helpful to have a small fridge.
We stayed for the week but the first night seemed to be karaoke night, so it was on the loud side until about midnight
All in all the space was great
