Right in the city centre, basic accommodation but expected at the price. Friendly welcoming Glaswegian staff....would recommend for the welcome alone! :-) Argyle Street just yards away..shopping on the doorstep.

We enjoyed a short break here while doing a city tour. Only 5 mins from Queen Street rail station, it is handy for the city centre and close to the Argyle St shopping centre. Find it by winding your way behind the Corinthian bar and the Mercure Hotel and it is on Virginia St, just up from M&S collect by... More

Hotel was basic... Bit overpriced in my opinion in hindsight. Couple of faults with room but biggest one was the flush didn't work. Reception desk staff were very helpful and courteous. The breakfast chef whilst probably being a nice guy and meaning well was a bit over the top with his nonstop chattering.. was like he'd overdosed on duracell batteries...... More

We do not mind facilities which are quite basic if they provide good value so the spartan bedroom would have been okay for a one night stay, even if the aged TV did not work! What is unacceptable is the poor condition of the building fabric in the bathroom. Woodwork had wide cracks in it. Pipe work behind the sink... More

When I arrived I was delighted. The interesting curved staircase. My room with its stripped wood floors, tall wondows with thick curtains, crisp white clean bed linen of a good quality, fee wifi, free view tv. Roll on 10 mins of being in the room, the TV is an old style portable and the sound is on the way out.... More

For £35 what do you expect? Clean rooms, good service, half decent breakfast and friendly staff? Well that's what I got and for a one night stay it ticked all the boxes for me. I would use again as it is in a good location for nights out in Glasgow.

We stayed at this hotel on 13th April 2013. The first room we were offered wss on the first floor was very tired, dirty and clearly been a room where people had smoked. We requested a change of room and were given one on the ground floor. This was much better and clearly had been refurbished although the furniture was... More

Stayed here in August 2012 with a group of girls all in our mid 30's. Entrance to room was via a metal outside staircase which led on to a further internal filthy staircase (there was black bags full of dirty bedding on the stairs too).
