"I really like this hotel. Ease of check in and checkout and the use of an ipad to control all aspects of the room, temperature, lights, blinds, curtains and media. Room is clean and efficient. Bed is comfortable with wonderful bedding. Only negatives i could say is there was a bit of a musty smell in the bathroom/shower area and there should be a drinking glass in the room. I will definitely stay there again. Convenient to Buchanan Bus Station and Buchanan Galleries and Sauchiehall Street. Staff were friendly and welcoming"
