"At first the building looks intimidating, but once you step through the doors the ambience has this dim intimate mood to it that is personally my style. I love the dark wood accents and plenty of relaxing seating. The room is spacious and clean. It’s close to the airport which made the last two days there less stressful knowing the hotel provides transport to the airport. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again"

"Everything was very good and its proximity to OVO Hydro was great, Only negative was that the bar food offering is not great and the pizzas were too doughy for amount of toppings and we ended up leaving it. Other than that we had a great stay, rooms were spotless, beds were good and room was excellent too. We would definitely return here, should we be visiting SEC in the future. I would also say that the Premier Inn across the bridge was £170 and Moxy was less than £100 and was well worth it, whereas Premier Inn was obviously profiteering."

We were allowed to check in early at no additional charge but room itself had virtually no natural light l, had window that couldn’t be opened and looked out onto a wall. Room facilities good though with bottles of water provided. We would definitely ask for a higher room overlooking the Clyde next time around but apart from that couldn’t fault,"

"The location is perfect. The hotel is an old building but has had money spent on it. We paid for half board, which worked out very good value. We got £35 towards our evening meal and a very good breakfast. My gripe with the hotel is everything is extra, parking £10 a day (we pre-booked through the company running it and it was cheaper.) The swimming pool is extra, breakfast not included in some prices too. However the food was excellent and it I would return. Staff excellent but like a lot of hotels now service for our excellent evening meal was slow."
