    We stayed in the loft style room, and when we had the skylight open, we noticed the food smell from the fan extractor. The smell was nice, but stuck to our clothing. Not a deal-breaker for us, but thought it was worth mentioning.

    Views of the necropolis. Food in attached restaurant.

    Didn’t get clean sheets my first night, the mattress is quite uncomfortable, and the walls are paper thin.

    The aesthetic charm of this hotel and its rooms, along with the unparalleled views from the room windows made this place amazing. The bathroom was very well equipped and modern, and the soaking tub was a treat.

    It was a tad noisy at night with the cars but with old building I was expecting it. The door to my en-suite bathroom wouldn’t close or lock so I used a chair to ensure it would close when I was using it.

    Nice old property, really close to the centre of the town ideal location. Easy to fine and access with the information sent. Lovely facilities and shower.

    None of these things would stop us coming again but given the high standard of everything else the hotel might want the following feedback. The shower door was a bit tricky. I couldn’t open it from inside and needed my other half to come and rescue me! It looked like the handle was perhaps on the wrong way round? The handles were also missing from the drawers in the desk in the room so they couldn’t be used. Fine for us as only staying a night but made the room seem not as grand as the rest of the furniture suggests. The tea tray with the kettle is no where near the two sets of plug sockets. So only option is boiling the kettle on the floor beside the bed or faffing around to reach the plug socket under the desk. It’s small details like this that make the difference between a good hotel and an exceptional one. For the price we paid I was happy with good but given the beautiful building and the high standards of everything else, there is so much potential for this place to be exceptional.

    Room was comfortable and very clean. Lovely old building and it was great to stay somewhere walking distance to the city centre that isn’t a big chain hotel. Really liked the decor in the bathroom and lots of nice touches. Great biscuits and toiletries. Enjoyed our breakfast too - once we’d got over the shock of it not being a Scottish fry up we were delighted by how fresh and good quality the ingredients were. And the home made bread was delicious. Laura the host is wonderful and made us feel very welcome and special mention also to the lovely housekeeper. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

    It’s an old building (part of the charm) and as such can be noisy, cannot be helped.

    The breakfast had a limited choice which if you are not a fussy eater, would be quite appetising and enjoyable. Given this, the hotel were very accommodating and offered alternatives that were not on the menu to meet the desires of the guest.

    It was in a perfect location, 10 minutes walk away from the station but not directly in the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The room was cosy, which made good use of the space and the bed was exceptionally comfortable.

    There was a bit of confusion on arrival as there was no one there and the pin code I'd been given didn't work to open the door. The phone number given went to voicemail and the box was full so I was unable to leave a message. The staff in the restaurant were very helpful though and the hotel contacted me later via text to make sure everything was okay.

    The room we stayed in was beautiful with stunning views of Glasgow and the Necropolis. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and although I didn't use it, I loved the free standing bath tub. The room was furnished to a high specification and was immaculately clean.

    What a historical building and in such great condition. Room was spacious and filled with water, teas etc. Breakfast was a lovely continental which I didn’t expect to love as much as I did. Location is excellent and communication from the owner was brilliant in making sure I knew how to access the property. Amazing stay and took a wander around the Glasgow necropolis whilst there which was visible from my room. Will stay again.

    Pillows. We needed extra pillows but had no way of speaking to someone to get pillows unless we called a mobile number to someone out with the hotel. We loved the breakfast but not everyone likes being told what they are having and not given any options.

    Location. Rooms were perfect for what we needed. Amazing shower. You had a key for the room and a pin number for the door to come and go. The breakfast was lovely and fresh. We are not picky so it was perfect for us.

    I didn't realise our room would be at the top, and it is a lot of steps with a leg injury.. buy again, worth it for the beautiful room.

    It was a beautiful room with views across the necropolis and cathedral. Breakfast was lovely as well. It's a little further out than we would normally go, but we'll worth the extra walk to be staying in a part of Glasgow that you walk/drive past without noticing.
