There was no one there when I arrived - 7.15 on a Friday evening although I had been warned about this and given instructions in how to let myself in. The check out time was 10am! and at 9.45 a member of staff tried coming into my room as I was on the toilet with the bathroom door open - it was just me in the room.

Probably the worst hotel I have stayed in (& that includes some dreadful ones in London). I was bumped from my booking for a double en-suite and found myself in a single in the basement. And I did mean “found myself” as only contact I had with hotel was with owner on phone when I arrived - no sign of any staff throughout stay - who provided directions and an explanation of sorts. Filthy carpets; musty smell; too cramped for proverbial cat; basic shutters on window - no curtains; no fixtures in shower ‘room’ beyond basin, shower and loo - although tap was only just hanging onto basin; tv had no working channels - despite being digital; furniture wonky and drawers not great; door handle loose with missing screws; radiator filthy; either bright ceiling light or dim bedside lamp; and to top it all I discovered kettle wasn’t working - probably to stop me using boiling water to sterilise the carpets or surfaces! I went out and bought an air freshener and tried to stay out as long as I could as unfortunately there was nothing else available last minute nearby - if there had been I would have been out of there. The ONLY positive was its location as the venue for my concert was across the road and the Botanic Gardens were across the junction. I will not be using that hotel again and cannot recommend it to anyone.

Clean and tidy but overall condition of the property not very good eg shower tray filled up and nearly flooded the bathroom, took 10 minutes to drain, shutters wouldn't stay closed properly so light coming into the room, curtains only covered half the window, bed felt uneven and rough. Small things but added together made the room quite frustrating.

Avoid at all costs
I travelled to Glasgow for a concert with my 9 year old Nephew and 60 year old Mother. We arrived at the hotel and after ringing the doorbell a young man let us in, along with another group. He told us that we had been given an 'upgrade' and that we would 'like it very much'. He gave us an address to go to, which when we got there, it was like a scene from a horror film. An eerily quiet large house converted into individual flats / rooms. Nobody was there to greet us and after looking around for 10 minutes we travelled back to the hotel. We rang the doorbell a number of times but nobody answered. With time getting on we made other arrangements. An hour or so later we had a phone call from the woman who owned the room we had been sent to, who was very apologetic when we explained what had happened and told us to cancel the booking. Due to all of this we missed the start of the concert which we'd travelled 3 hours to see. Terrible.

Very poor hotel. It's worth looking for another.
The hotel is a bit "scruffy" and could do with the rooms being cleaned and decorated. Especially the bathroom needed attention. There was no hairdryer even though that was in the details. The kettle was on the bedside table but the socket below it was faulty. One bedside lamp wasn't plugged in because the flex wasn't long enough! The space between the bed and wall was almost too narrow to squeeze through. No double glazing so the traffic noise was awful, especially at night. Couldn't find the TV remote but it was under the bed. One bedside table had a drawer which fell apart then opened. All the furniture, including bed and wardrobe was tatty. For £150 a night i feel ripped off.

The young man who greeted us was wonderful. (His name begins with O). If it wasn't for him I would have gone ballistic but he had been left to look after a disaster of a place. I thought it unfair to express our serious dismay to him and we were staying one night only. Perhaps other rooms are OK, But room 10 is a disgrace. and at £104 a night, outrageously so. Never, Never again.

An absolutely appalling place yo stay. We knew it was dated by the website vut we qere deaperate as nowhere else was available. In real life we were faced with broken shower,stained carpet, soiled chair which i am sure if you were brave enought to sit on would have collapsed.mould in showers,marks on headboard, uncomfortable beds which shoukd have been disposed of years ago ali g with the flimsy pillowss and paperthin duvets i could go on but you gt the picture this is the worse olace i have ever stayed in in my life! If this is yiur onlh option stay at home or book yourself a apot on a park bench it will be more desirable..if i had travelled by car i would have left like another faniky dod that couldnt face anothr night in this hell hole. The place itself is in a great location spend some money on it and stop being greedy. I would hate to include this venue on any website associated with yourself and it is just not up to standard you would expect of a half decent location

No free parking
The hotel was clean & in a convenient place to get to work.the downside it said free parking which was 1 of the reasons I booked but when I checked in they charged me £15 for parking for the 3 nights I stayed.i showed them my hotel confirmation which clearly stated free parking but still charged me for it.the private carpark they have is in great need of refurbishment no tarmac just lumps of rubble lucky I never got a flat tyre.needless to say I will not be using this place again have 2 wait & see if Hotels.com will refund me for the parking because of the false advertising & owners greed.

Good location, that’s it.
Lovely chap on reception, very helpful. Curtain hanging off the rail which I fixed for them. Mound of cut hair on the floor in bathroom and around the sink. Looked like a beard trimming...I hope! Also a pill left beside the bed on the table. Very odd. Don’t think had just been cleaned that day or not at all. However, comfortable bed. I did keep my tights on as was suspicious of the black specks in the bed.

Do Not Stay Here. Pictures are very Misleading
This is not a place people should even consider. The reception process is poor, the rooms are disgraceful and the hotel has a rancid smell about it. We requested a change of room due to dirty, unsafe furniture and bed as well as rotting window-frame making it a very noisy place. The next room was marginally better but unsurprisingly they allocated the dangerous bed to another couple we spoke to and the bed had collapsed! I would not call this a hotel or guest house, it is more akin to a cheap rundown hostel. Had we not had very busy and tight schedule we would have been in another hotel, the worst £160 we have ever spent. We met other guests who also stated the place was mingin and were going home to shower!! DO not stay here and ignore all the pictures on the websites. If Hotel.com were honourable, they would remove this hotel from their site. A refund would also be a fitting response!

Disappointed
Good communication with elizabeth, however the cottage was not what we expected, it requires desperate need of updating, lick of paint etc, there was no room to manouve with all the furniture in one room aswell as a small single bed, I didn't expect to see a used bar of soap left on the bathroom sink for us time use, and upon arrival was no towels and Elizabeth asked if we needed any and where we would like them from. I would expect these to be waiting on our arrival . I was quite disappointed as what I thought I'd booked showing pictures of the hotel guest house was not what we got and unable to see any pictures of the cottage prior to our visit. It's a shame as the cottage could be made superb

Great location next to the Botanical Gardens. A short walk from Ashton Lane, good eats around. Right across from a Loop & Scoop. Bus stations all around. Service was excellent. Host went out of the way to make sure our stay was great. Space needs a bit of touch-up. But otherwise value meets.

Absolutely grim!
Truly awful place. The room was nothing like the pictures. Walls and carpets covered in various stains, dust on skirting boards, bed had no headboard (just cushions rammed into the space where it should be), there was hair in the bed and the wardrobe door looked like it had been kicked in. Absolutely disgusting, we ended up not staying - booked ourselves into Apex for £15 less and a much better experience. Lost the night but rather that than stay there!

Average enough guest house. Obviously it was just looked after by the youngish guy who checked us in and not the owners. Phoned and confirmed I could check in at 12, I arrived at 1230 and got told check was not until 4pm and to come back later by the same you guy who had obviously just got up. Breakfast was a shambles not enough bowls or cutlery and what was available was all random shapes and sizes and nothing matched

I would go so far as to say this place is a health hazard. There is mold on the ceiling of the bathroom in at least one room (I asked to be moved), the carpets are very old and have stains all over them, and there wasn't even proper flooring in one of the bathrooms of the 3 rooms I saw (it was a piece of rough-cut vinyl thrown on top of an old tile floor). The management is completely absent, and I think it is safe to say they do not care at all about the conditions of this guesthouse. The staff is barley present and my room was not serviced once in my 4 nights there. I have stayed in many similarly priced accommodations throughout Europe and this may be the worst.

Comfortable but property needs attention.
A tiny room, bed was comfortable but very little room for luggage or to work. The toilet seat and towel rail were broken when I checked in and despite reporting it on the first day, remain unrepaired as I leave. Close to transport and other amenities, would be good if a little more care was taken of the property.

This guest house is nothing like the pictures portray do not be deceived. It is shabby dirty and run down . There is no customer service and the breakfast is poor. There were foreign guests staying at the same time and I was embarrassed at the hospitality they received.
