Our stay here was unforgettable, great place for exploring Glasgow. Our guest room was pleasantly decorated and huge. True 3-star experience, outstanding service. Staff were knowledgeable, setting is in 15 minutes' walk to downtown. Food in the beach restaurant was outstanding.

I stayed 1 night and would stay there again when visiting United Kingdom. The breakfast was perfect, plenty of affordable food. The beach nearby was wonderful and the view was particularly good.

The staff were awesome, the bed was big and the food was brilliant. It was basic double, good enough for short stay. The location was exceptional, at a near distance from a high street. Early check in and late check out. It was a perfect stay.

Wi-Fi didn't work, made me a little nervous.
