It was a bit overpriced in my opinion. Also when i arrived the receptionist had her head down reading something. Waited a few mins then said Evening to get her attention. Although she was very polite and helpful.

I asked the staff to clean my room and bathroom twice. I asked for extra towels but didn’t receive either of my requests. The bathtub was unclean. I could see pubic hair on the wall. The bathroom curtain was unclean. The washroom fan was noisy. The heaters didn’t work and the room was really cold. Overall I couldn’t wait for my stay to finish there. Such a terrible setup for that expensive rate.

Very basic and functional. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was powerful. The hotel had few amenities and it was like being in a university hall of residence. Would have been acceptable at half the price

This hotel is very well located. It is within walking distance of many of Glasgow's best landmarks and it right next door to Charing Cross train station and a multi-storey carpark. When this hotel was a Premier Inn, I stayed in it several times. It was in need of refurbishment then, but it was always clean and comfortable. However, since Britannia took the hotel over things have gone downhill. It is still in need of refurbishment, but it is no longer clean and comfortable. The room I had for this stay was not clean. It was dusty, there were haris on the wall on the bathroom, and there was a red stain (possibly blood) on one of the walls on the bedroom. It was also uncomfortable. The AC unit in the room was not working and neither my partner or I could figure out how to turn off the radiator (although that is probably our fault). Fortunately, the windows open wide enough to let in a good supply of fresh air. They only supplied one pillow each and they were very thin and not very comfortable. My partner did not get a good sleep. The staff are friendly. Check in/out was very easy, although check in doesn't open until 4pm and one has to check out by 10am.

Stayed here for 2 nights and did not enjoy it one bit. First off it was by the road so very noisy,especially at night! The bathroom fan was also extremely noisy and continued throughout our whole stay. The room was very hot and the windows did not open. We were not informed about the wifi situation at all and then found out we would be charged an extra £7 a day for wifi, in which the staff did not inform us. The staff customer service was mediocre at best. Wallpaper coming off the wall. Cleaner came in without any warning could have been doing anything, there was no do not disturb things to be able to stop this and we were asleep as he came in. The lift was absolutely disgusting, filthy floors, dirty mirrors, empty bottles i could go on and on. They did not seem to care for their job or show much hospitality for guests. Although the hotel was cheap it was not worth the money spent. Definitely won’t be coming back.

Stayed for 3 nights,i had been visiting for a few days as a quiet break. With the exception of a very small and poor heater which took ages to heat up and still kept the room cold - no radiators in the room,what was strange was there was a little thing at the door what looked like you would use to turn the heating up or down but yet searched the room for a radiator but nothing. The room wasnt layed out very well,the 2 hangers were to the side of the table that i had to search for. Had to squueze past the corner of the bed and the tv to be able to get into open and close the curtians. Again there for 3 days and not once did i get a visit from hoisekeeping regarding towels or anything i needed. Only thing decent about the room was the bed was comfy,it was higher than usual hotel beds,this was ok for me but if this was an eldery person not ideal. Website advertises a restaurant & bar,both of which were closed. Restaurant open for breakfast only,however i went down at 9.15 on my last morning,waited almost 10 mins at the hot buffet station and no one appeared so i gave up and left and went into town for breakfast. Told restaurant was closed due to it being January,fair enough but guests shoid be told this when booking. Advertised a vending machine,what kind of vending machine has coke,diet coke and water in it,no other drinks and certainly no food,no crisps or sandwiches. All in all a pretty poor experience.

Avoid
Put up 7 of my colleagues and every one of the was complaining about the place to me. Rooms next to railway line basically felt like you standing in the station such was the noise. Most rooms had drafty windows meaning the rooms were freezing and picked up all the noise from the street. Only heating available were plug in heaters. One colleague left his room at 4am to go to his car to get warmed up. Breakfast awful too. Would strongly advise to avoid this hotel.
