Had a lovely one night stay. Check in with Fiona was very welcoming and efficient. The welcome drink is a nice touch, especially if you’re on your own. Used The Nook a couple of times. I felt the 80’s music in the sauna wasn’t necessary but if that’s your vibe! Breakfast was busy and I had to wait a few minutes to be seated, another staff member on the door would be beneficial.

I like the service very much in a purely British hotel. I have to check out at 11 o'clock because the flight is still early. I negotiated with the hotel for a late checkout. The hotel originally said that it would charge 15 pounds for every hour of delay. Later, the hotel paid the delay fee. It’s worth recommending if you don’t need it.

Great hotel in the Centre of Glasgow, very modern. Down side is no kettle in room for tea or coffee. Also was very noisy around 0330 in the hallway but with it being a Saturday night I thought I’d hear more noise from outside but was quiet. Decent Breakfast, the turnover on the food buffet was a bit slow.

This is a lovely hotel which I’ve stayed in a few times. The hotel is fabulous, great location and very clean. The breakfast is top class. I found their night security staff a little challenging and not altogether pleasant when coming back at night. HOWEVER… I felt very ill the second morning of my stay and the reception staff were amazing. They looked after me and then helped me to my room and brought me water. I couldn’t thank them enough! So due to that so would highly recommend this hotel.

I’ve stayed at several Easyhotels across the country and you know what you’re going to get. It looks like this one was refurbished quite recently as it was in good nick. Paid £36 for a room. Had one without a window and to be honest I’ve got used to not having one. Good quality air con unit, bed was comfy and bathroom clean. Would definitely stay again, it’s spot on for what I need.

Basic but nice. There is currently a lot of building works going out right outside and we couldn't even hear our TV over it. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. Staff were miserable for the most part. The fan was ineffective and noisy. However, you get what you pay for and town was a 10 min walk away.

Great location. Stayed here before. Staff are friendly but it's really let down in other areas. Our room was filthy. Bed was fresh but the desk was sticky, carpet looked like it hadn't been hoovered in weeks and when I went to plug in my phone beside the bed there was the remains of someone's peperami snack lying on the floor. Bathroom had a brown poo mark on the loo seat (which we cleaned!) And the loo floor was covered in long black hairs. I am platinum blonde and my friend has long dyed red hair... We told reception who offered to comp us breakfast but we had already paid for it so they just took the feedback. We asked for an iron and ironing board, and they were really pitiful appliances. They could do with an upgrade for sure. Oh and during breakfast the coffee machine was fully broken and was being taken apart...
