    "I have stayed here on a number of ocassions over the last year and the standard of the room has been generally reasonable. i would recommend you get your TV reception sorted and reinforce with penalty clauses if needed that it is a non smoking establishment." (97808904)

    self contained secure parking - although the gates were open on both times of entry/exit this visit.

    Although a non smoking hotel the room smelt strongly of smoke on entering.When offered an alternative room that room was dirty - smears all over the TV screen, dirty window ledges and surfaces - hence choose the original room and froze keeping the window open to air the smell. the TV had exceedingly poor reception and in the second room there was no reception at all. the fridge in the second flat smelt very strongly of gone off produce (although it was empty) and would have been unhiegenic to use.

    "This hotel is fine if you are not too fussy about luxury. It is plain, but clean enough. Perfect for someone without too high demands on standard, wanting reasonably cheap accommodation." (97643293)

    It was cheap, reasonably central, perfect if budget is a prime concern and you don't mind staying in student-accommodation type room.

    The plastic toilet-cum-shower cubicle put me off the desire to attempt having a shower.

    "its suitable for groups as its student flats, fairly central location, compact rooms but acceptable, could do with a good clean but again it was acceptable. You get what you pay for. I would not say it is suitable for families as people were coming in at all hours. You are not informed that it is student accomodation until you get there or look at the reviews online. The website does not state that it is not a hotel, and it states the wrong postcode, so its best to phone up and check the postcode." (97749365)

    Secure parking. Excellent Recepctionst. Close to bus and taxi. Area good no roudy behaviour at weekend. Good Quiet hard working cleaners.

    Room not as on website. Computers not working. Tv sometimes defective.Room well used would need a spruce up.

    just one bad point the bed was rubbish and needs throwing out.the springs were sticking up and made the night very uncomfortuble

    "should not describe close to arena and would be good place to stay." (97184632)

    clean and tidy great for a short stay

    was advertised when booking close to hampdon park and we wanted to be in walking distance.This was not the case and it ended up after the concert taking three hours to get back. we were all cold and wet so it did spoil our weekend in Scotland (all six of us)

  • 7/10 Anonymous ( Young couple) 

    on  June 24, 2008

    Room was clean with brand new towles provided. Ensuite was adequate and clean.

    Window in room could not be closed as hing was broken and heater had been left on full to compensate. Rained very heavily and water was coming through window through the nigh.

  • 8/10 Peter ( Other) 

    from Manchester , GB  on  June 18, 2008

    "Overall, very pleased. The room itself was great value for money, just a shame that the booking/checking in process was so stressful." (97865063)

    Hotel was well priced and very good value for money.

    One of the rooms in my group hadn't been cleaned and we had to change. I didn't receive my e-mail confirmation and had to chase this up, I was then referred to "Head-Office" to request a confirmation. This took 15 minutes for a simple e-mail to be sent. Although check-in is usually 3pm, the management agreed to let us check in at 12pm as we had been travelling overnight. Upon arrival I found that the promised "note on the system" hadn't been made. Fortuanately the lady on the front desk was very helpful and agreed to let us check in anyway.

    "GENERALLY A GOOD EXPERIENCE AND GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY HOWEVER THE EN SUITE FACILITIES WERE FAR TOO SMALL." (97694458)

    IT WAS QUITE CLOSE TO CITY CENTRE AND IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE SECURE PARKING

    THE EN SUITE SHOWER ROOM WAS FAR TOO SMALL

    "The hotel was very secure; i felt safe due to the fact that we needed a scanner to get in the building. The rooms were clean and warm. The area was good, and maps were provided which was helpful. One thing i would say is- although i appreciated this hotel, no mention of the fact that it was student accomodation was made on the website or at any stage of the booking process. I am a student so student accomodation didn't phase me; but for anyone who wants to stay in a traditional 'hotel' this might not be the place for you. The hotel is excellent value for money." (97846485)

    The rooms were clean and warm and in a good location

    The en-suite is a shower 'pod' and it was a bit too small.

    "Cheap and cheerful university halls room. Didn't strike me as particularly nice area of Glasgow but the price is fantastic. Tea and coffee making facilities, shower, toilet and TV. The only thing I would have liked is some breakfast facility. Also only a £5 taxi ride from the centre. Would thoroughly recommend for anybody wanting somewhere cheap to stay where they won't be spending much time actually in their room." (97977835)

    Great price

    No breakfast available

    "The general review is that it was good accommodation with all the things that are necessary for a short stay. The staff were helpful and the secure parking was a bouns. I would have liked to know perhaps a lttle more about the restaurants in the area. This might be done with a small handout or locations shown on an online map." (97712770)

    Previous occupant was a smoker and the odour was still there

    Practical/ nice with our own kitchen.

    Beforehand they appear to be a hotel, but once you realize it is a student housing, renting out the spare rooms. This should have come across more clearly.

    from Fpo ap , US  on  November 2, 2007

    The facilities were less than desireable. No alarm clock was in the room, a hotel staff member walked into the room unannounces whild my wife an I were sleeping. The shower facilities was like taling a shower in a phonebooth, and the hallways reaked of cigeratte smoke.

    "Management must be organised, don't confuse students who staying there and Guests who coming there for few days or weeks. I booked for 2 adults and hotel staff gave us 1 teamug insdead of 2. I complained about it to reception, the answer was 1 teamug per room. I and my friend were frustrated." (97137471)

    Cheapest stay.

    We stayed 4 nights nobody came to clean our room and even to change bedsheet, can you imagine that for a couple?

    "This is definitely student accommodation and this should be made clear. It is in a fairly rough area but I never felt unsafe (although I always got taxis home late at night). If all you're looking for is a cheap place to lay your head with basic amenities then this place is perfect. It doesn't look like the photo though and it's really not a hotel - more a halls of residence block of newish flats." (99143844)

    The price is good. You have access to a kitchen which is useful. It was easy enough to get in to the city from here.

    Some of the other guests were a little noisy one night (pack some ear plugs)

    "Very good value for money The accomodations were centrally located and very clean. The staff was very helpful. We were able to save money because it had full cooking facilities including a microwave. I was provided with a broadband internet cable and electicity converter at no chanrge. The converter did not work in spite of the numerous configuration - I should have brought my own. However, I was able to use my laptop no problem. We had to leave at 4:30 a.m. to catch our flight so the cable movies and playing on the internet kept me up." (97416775)

    It was very clean and the shower was pewerfull and hot.

    Would have been nice if there was an alarm clock.

    "The only thing was the distance of the hotel to the city centre. There are two buses that went to the hotel and taking a taxi was not to expensive but where the hotel is located there are no stores or attractions within walking distance. In the morning you had to make breakfast at the facilities provided or bus into town before you had breakfast. Also the bathroom is very small, but very clean." (99496792)

    "The hotel, for the cost, is excellent value. We were able to do our own thing without any problems and felt the location was secure during our stay. More information available on location and nearness to places of interest would have been helpful. We had a car but felt information on transport (buses/ taxis) would help the ambulatory visitors. Generally very good but leaflets on general matters etc would make it really cater for all clients." (99661944)

    Access to sitting room, Nearness to centre, secure parking, secure areas needing key access

    Towels not changed at all during a week stay.
