Janet, London

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed here for 2 nights, my room was on the top floor and there’s no lift, and there was a lot of stairs to walk; this my only negative side. You can control the heating in your room by entering your 4 digit code! Busy area for shopping, party, and eating out. Located next to Glasgow Queen street station and few minutes walk to central station. The room was very big and spacious. No mirrors in the room so had to do my makeup using the toilet mirror which was very dim. Pillow was flat but bed was comfortable. Yea and coffee was provided aLao including decaffeinated coffee sachet which I only drink. Be mindful that This apartment is self check in and out, the code to open the mail door and your room door is the last four digit of your telephone number. You will also get another four digit code to control the heating.

The current ‘Exceptional’ rating was an overstatement and misdleading in my opinion. The location was prime, close to the city center and easy access to public transportation. Unfortunately, the following were my concerns: Stinks of smoke (not sure if this is coming from outside) -Loud noise from the strret -Rust in shower -clogged drain in the shower -Mold in washer -Hair and stains on bedsheet I know I shouldn’t be expecting 5 star quality but the exceptional rating definitely caught me off guard.

Excellent location and well appointed
Gantastic apartments to stay in, great location and very well appointed with everything you would need. The only downside is that the pillows are very flat and hard, this may be your preference, but did make for a slightly stiff neck in the morning!!

uncomfy bed but would stay again
our stay was great! instructions were easy and the room was lovely! However the bed was personally pretty uncomfortable:/ Pillows were flat and mattress was rock solid - nothing that can’t be fixed with a nice thick mattress topper though !

The location of the apartment is great for shopping, travelling, eating out and as a general base to explore from. There was no lift and we had quite a bulky case for an onward holiday so it was a bit awkward. Ideal for an overnight stay but quite odd sleeping in the kitchen. Didn’t receive communication (yes I did check my span) until I contacted the property. Everything was clean and fine but not a place for a long weekend, overnight stay at best.

Nice modern place convienantly located in Glasglow. Our unit was on the top floor and there was no lift so lugging our heavy suitcase up wasn’t ideal. Need more dishwasher pods and larger pots (as we cook) would be nice. We would stay here again.

Loved it, location is truly hard to beat. 2 mins from Glasgow queen st, stones throw to the subway and right in Buchanan st. Only thing I would change is the bed size, it was a little small for me and my girlfriend (I fell out twice lol)

5 minute walk to the train station, close to bars, shopping and great dining. I wasn’t sent an email by property managers with my unit number or access code. Thankfully another guest arriving at same time told me access code would be last 4 digits of my phone and the maintenance man inside told me which unit would be mine.

Great location and modern clean apartment
Very modern brand new apartment in a great central position for Glasgow Only 2 small issues ….too much light into the bedroom so I would install black out curtains over the blinds And annoying the light into the bathroom comes on automatically through the night which blinds you a little and wakes you up fully
