"As so many other reviews have said, really good atmosphere, staff very friendly and approachable. Real buzz about the place with it being a workspace by day also - even spotted a few snoozy dogs at people's feet while they were working away. For me, the absolute highlight is the gym - compared to hotel gyms (and I travel quite a bit), it's absolute tops for me. Just to say also, I read quite a few reviews mentioning it's mainly a space for young people - it is in some ways but it's in no sense exclusionary, quite the opposite and I felt very welcomed and at ease (I'm not a young person!). A real collaborative vibe in the communal areas, I was visiting for work and ended up having some random stimulating chats with other guests/workers. Happily recommend and will be my go to when back in Glasgow."

"We had a one night stay to see a show at the OVO which is literally across the road, so location is brilliant. The hotel is modern and clean. Our room was lovely, floor to ceiling windows with blackout curtains, the bed was a king (very comfortable) and the bathroom was a good size with a walk in shower. One of the Key things for me was that it was so quiet, no noise from traffic or other guests and we had a really good sleep. The buffet breakfast was good with a pretty good choice of hot foods and continental options. As we arrived on a Sunday afternoon, we wanted something to eat before heading to the show and, for convenience, would have liked to have eaten at the hotel, however it appears that the food/menu at the hotel restaurant is limited (only does pizza(?) which is absolutely fine if that’s all you fancy) but we decided to take a walk and find somewhere else for food. There are plenty of places around a 10-15 minute walk away from the hotel. Parking at the hotel was a little pricey at £25 for 24 hours but that appears to be around the standard these days for most large cities. There are other car parks nearby that you could research beforehand though. Staff were really nice on arrival and professional. Overall, I’d highly recommend the hotel and I’d definitely stay here again!"

"If you have only one and a half days in Glasgow, as we did, this is the place to stay. It's within walking distance of the Clydeside Distillery and its excellent whisky tour, and Elena's, a Spanish restaurant where we shared delicious tapas. It's also a short walk to Kelvingrove Museum, the University, the Hunterian Art Gallery and the Mackintosh House. Pick up supplies from the Tesco Express, and finish with an excellent dinner at Ox and Finch. No. 77 bus nearby takes you to and from Buchanan Bus Station."
