Basic amenities, good cleanliness and overall good stay. Only thing worth noting, during breakfast don’t leave your table unattended to get food, as you’ll come back to your drinks being thrown away and someone else at your table!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Due to Storm Floris and all cancelled transport to Scotland, we could not proceed to our intended destination, Glasgow, on Monday. The bed and pillows were really comfortable and the room was really clean, renovated and looked great. The staff at check-in and at breakfast were pretty friendly and efficient as well.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel is a little tired, carpets in hallways look scruffy with stains and lifts are grubby. Room ok, basic but clean and bathroom looks updated with nice shower. The lobby is unusual as it has strange blue lighting which looks cold and uninviting, we didn’t use the bar or have breakfast for that reason. Not sure we would stay again but the location suited us this time.
