The room had a weird smell. The elevators were broken a few times. There was no toilet paper. The sheets had stains. Felt unsafe as well. There were men who were not staying at the hotel using the outside lobby as a smoking area despite it being forbidden.

Hotel is a good location next to Charing Cross station. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming and checked us in early as we had an early flight. In general the place was clean despite being slightly run down. The room had tea and coffee facilities, hair dryer, mini fridge, iron and ironing board and the bed was comfy. We were quite surprised by the massive(!!) tv on the wall which seems very out of place. The hotel would look and feel better if their budget was spent on paint and maintenance rather than such extravagant entertainment. The breakfast was offered a lot of choice but wasn’t very fresh so some of the bread and pastries were stale. Lastly, the hotel was being used to accommodate asylum seekers which we were not notified of during the booking or upon check in which I feel was misleading.

When we arrived at reception, there were two staff members behind the counter, neither of which acknowledged us. One got up and walked away, while the other kept working, right in front of us. No acknowledgement we were there. Eventually they decided to acknowledge we were there! The room was tired looking with lots of marks on the window sill, bath and shelving. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was nice. Would not stay again, especially at the price we paid.

Great location

My latest stay here and was on the top floor this time, meaning I had a brilliant view. Perfect to see how close it was to The Hydro where I was going to a concert. I usually get the train to the hotel but as I had a liitle time from my bus arriving and my check-in I decided to walk from Buchanan Bus station. It was closer than I thought to the city centre.

It was necessary to ask 3 times for toilet paper. Even then, the room was not serviced with coffee replacements or trash emptied. Hotel was advertised as having a bar and restaurant, neither of which is true. They have a fair breakfast, but no restaurant for other meals or a bar. Very disappointed in this misrepresentation as it caused extra stress finding meals within walking distance for two seniors.

The staff at the property are friendly and serviceable, but prior to our stay never answered emails with basic questions. Also the room was very small and outdated, tv size was the same as my laptop and there are very few outlets to charge various devices at the same time.

Stayed here due to a cancelled train. Paid £130 for the pleasure. Bed was stained and plug hole was completely blocked by hairs. Not sure when it was cleaned. Won't be rushing back anytime soon.
