“What stands out is the riverside terrace, where you can dine al fresco and enjoy the views; plus, parking is ample, a rare find in the city center. It strikes me as a convenient option for business trips to the SEC, and the modern Art Deco design is a nice touch. A solid Glasgow base.”

A Sufficient Stay

clean roomcomfortable bedpoor breakfastodd glass
The location was very close to the venue. The room was also super clean and the bed was very comfortable. I slept great! Checkout at 12pm was a massive bonus. The bathroom came with all the bits you could need.
Our room was not ready when we arrived. The drinks weren't great. They came in odd glasses. Breakfast was also poor quality.

Amazing Staff and Convenient Location!

great varietycomfortable bedfantastic location
The breakfast offered a great variety. I choose from continental to full English. The room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable! The hotel location is fantastic. It's close to transport and sightseeing locations.
The keycard did not work for room entry! on the 3rd trip to reception within a matter of minutes, I asked if someone could come and let me in the room. This offer was not forthcoming. It was resolved for my return from the event I was attending however.
