Guest scores & sentiment

From 75 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-20

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, generous breakfast, convenient location near Hampden Park, and clean rooms with free parking. However, frequent events, adjacent bar music, and thin walls cause significant noise. Several rooms feel dated with unreliable showers, and the lack of a lift may inconvenience some travelers. Occasional reception gaps and price surges during events also draw criticism.
