Wow, my stay at this hotel was a mixed bag of surprises! On the positive side, the rooms offered fantastic views of the Clyde, Science Centre, and BBC Scotland, along with lovely little chocolates on the bed. Access to the lounge was a real treat with complimentary snacks, canapés, and drinks. However, the downside was the absence of Sky TV and free slippers or robes. Some minor inconveniences, but overall a delightful experience.

The hotel needs a refurbishment and redecoration but offers friendly and helpful service. The location is good for concerts but has some noise from a toaster. The dining experience, while having some gluten-free options, needs improvement in temperature and service. The facilities are adequate but require some attention to detail.

I was thrilled with my stay at the hotel! The room was fantastic - very clean and comfortable. The room service was brilliant, and they were right on time as promised. However, the room showed some signs of wear and tear, like scuffs and tears, and needed a bit of repair work. Our wait time was longer than expected, over an hour and a half, and the 'River view' turned out to overlook a car park. Despite these minor flaws, we would definitely consider staying again!

Staying on the top floor with fantastic views of Glasgow was a delight, despite the stuffy atmosphere in the room. The rooms were spotless and well-equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, a decent bathroom, and a huge bed, although they could benefit from a modern upgrade. The hotel's services were mixed; while some staff were a bit off, others, like Jackie and her team, were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The location was excellent for our visit, especially for activities at the Hydro/SECC and exploring the West End. The dining experience offered decent quality food, although the black pudding wasn't up to par. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few areas for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was really convenient, especially for attending concerts, but the rooms felt a bit tired and in need of some updating.
