The hotel is conveniently located close to the subway and the botanical gardens. The rooms with a shared bathroom were basic but clean. The reception service was efficient and helpful. The dining options, including a barbecue, were satisfactory. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay, though not luxurious.

The hotel is ideally situated in the West End of Glasgow near the botanical gardens, close to public transport and restaurants. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the staff at the reception desk is friendly and helpful. The dining experience offers succulent organic chicken, but the facilities could use some improvement. Overall, it's a great value for the money.
