Friendly and professional reception staff, our room wasnt ready for half hr, gave us complimentary family drinks. Room spacious, good bfast and great dining room staff. Very accommodating. The only negative is the pool, rabbit warren to gain access and crowded(small pool). Great location too, 2min walk to CaltonHill steps. Would recommend hotel.

The room was charming and Vinny at the front desk went out of his way to accommodate our needs with a senior and young family members.

check in was rough. the service was not very friendly. however it was more than made up with early morning breakfast goodie bags made for all family members as we got in our arranged car to the Glasgow airport. also breakfast is a great value and the staff was amazing!

We paid ahead of time through Expedia for 5 nights in a family room which is 2 beds. The gave me a room with one double bed. I said I needed 2 beds. They were booked and would not honor my family room reservation. They put us in the "dungeon" - 1st floor when main level is 5th floor, no visible windows, backing the alley with constant trash can noise. They would not refund me the difference, saying I had already paid Expedia. The manager was apologetic and comped a dinner, but that did not make up for the hassle, inferior room, and price difference between what we paid for and what we got. They even charged us at our dinner for ordering a side. I asked Expedia to assist as they told me I had to go through Expedia, and they only contacted hotel who again refused to refund any portion of what I overpaid.
