Advantages: Good mid priced hotel.

Disadvantages: None really.

Have stayed here several times over the years. Last stay was last weekend.

A very consistant hotel. Comfortable rooms, air con, quiet location - we have stayed in many Glasgow hotels and have had a lot of outside noise but never have had any bother here.

We stayed in a king room with a comfortable superking bed. The room had a minibar but this was only stocked with wine and beer, there was however space to add your own items which is pretty useful if you dont want to pay a fortune drinking in bars, ice imachines are available by the lifts and you are provided with an ice bucket and glasses. The rooms are a pretty average size, but clean and equipped to the usual standard. You can upgrade to executive rooms, but I dont really see the need unless staying for several nights.

Breakfast is the usual buffet choices, and can sometimes be pretty busy in the mornings but they seem to have extended the breakfast hours - they are 7-12 at the weekends and this certainly seems to have improved the atmosphere, it was pretty quiet when we went down. My one moan is you have to make your own toast - my pet hate in hotels - though on the first morning it was brought to us, I guess this depends on how busy they are.

There is a pool and leisure facilities but we dont tend to bother with them. The bar has been refurbished and is pleasant to sit in, it is a bit pricey for drinks but so are most hotel bars, but certainly not the dearest in Glasgow. We did not eat in the bar or restaurant other than breakfast but the food others were being served looked pretty good and not too badly priced.

The hotel has its own car park and it conveniently located to the motorway. It is about a 10 minute walk the St Enoch Centre, Kings Theatre and Sauchiehall Street, which has a good range of bars, restaurants and shops.

I would recommend this hotel as a good mid priced hotel for Glasgow, very convenient for catching a show at the Kings Theatre and only a short taxi ride from the SECC - I'm not a fan of walking if I can get a taxi! Taxi is usually around £7 to SECC and £5 to the Buchanan Galleries shopping centre. The hotel tends to offer quite good value for families with younger children as they often can stay free. They also had a couple of teddies at reception which children can borrow if they write up what adventures they have had with the teddies during their stay which was quite a nice idea.

Well worth checking out their deals as we have never had any problems here.

Summary: Consistant Glasgow hotel.
