If your on holiday in Glasgow. Or celebrating an anniversary with the wife. Or lord&lady Muck on the way to ones horse racing at Hamilton. This place will just not suffice. However if you're a contractor just looking for a bed for the night and want a pint in the pub with a curry across the road or your with someone else's wife , a hot shower this place scores 10/10. . No music there on a Thursday. Good luck every one

Sadly this was going to be 4 star but things took a turn for the worse on Friday. The room is large, clean and the bathroom is well appointed. Location is about 15 minute walk from station with direct trains to Glasgow Central Station. Seemed ideal for us for a 3 night stay. The room is directly above pub and Friday night is Karaoke which is extremely loud and the bass notes vibrations can be felt. This goes on till 1am. The owner is aware of the effect on the guests but chooses not to do anything as can be found from others reviews. If the music stopped at 11pm that would suffice for most guests I would suggest. I write this whilst sitting in the room on Saturday night at 11pm and there is another karaoke whilst the people in the bar wait for Scotland's World Cup kick off at 2am. Looks like the next sleep I will have will be on the train home tomorrow. Maybe just bad timing but the pub does advertise other events.

Accommodation was relatively easy to find.. Booking in was unusual as I had to check in at the India restaurant apposite the accommodation. Staff very friendly. Room spacious and clean. Comfortable beds. Toilet clean and tidy. Yes/coffee facility available. A bit noisy during the evening with the pub being below the accommodation but not a major issue. Reasonable priced... Now that I know the setup .Yes Id probably stay again..

Provided a room which was comfortable at very reasonable cost. The only downside is the Kareoae in the Bar which goes on until midnight. But I took part !

We enjoyed our stay - the room was large and spacious, however it would have been helpful to have a small fridge. We stayed for the week but the first night seemed to be karaoke night, so it was on the loud side until about midnight All in all the space was great

It was a nice ensuite room, it was clean but amenities were not good, TV was not working, Internet was slow. Although there were complementary tea and coffee was provided but the electric kettle was not working properly. Bathroom was clean and amenities were placed in. Overall it was not bad in such a low price.

A convenient place to stay the night to break my journey from south of England to central Scotland. An unremarkable but adequate room in an unremarkable place. More noise (pub and traffic) than I'm used to
