My stay was fine. The weather had turned quite cold and the temperature in the room was fairly low, with no means of turning on a heater. But this was manageable.

Really good sized triple room, easy walking distance to lots of restaurant options and safe walk back from the Ovo. Reasonably priced overnight parking just a couple of streets away. Can walk into the town centre and back too. Staff on reception very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay again

Generous breakfast, quiet neighborhood location. Good size room. However sheets and duvet were rough and itchy, bathroom toiletries nearly non-existent, shower very tight, ceiling light harsh and cold, chair cushion broken. However it was less expensive than neighboring hotels

Very welcoming when we arrived by Joe. Lovely big immaculately clean room. Joe gave us recommendations of eateries nearby and ordered a taxi to the concert. Finally topped off our stay with a delicious breakfast. Will stay there again when next in Glasgow 👍
