Friendly staff, perfect location”
The place was clean, with a good size room, and helpful staff. There are several places for breakfast around the hotel if needed, and walking distance to all main sites (or metro stop not far away). I would stay here again.

Wonderful and historical accommodation”
After finally finding this place from front of Waverley train station via Google Map going a back way, everything was fine. Part of a great historical complex of Royal College of Surgeons, it's an excellent place to stay with partial donations going to ongoing charitable support for medical research as an added bonus of their Corporate Social Responsibility. Great!

Did the trick for me.”
Great location if you are around Merchant City. Definitely no frills and extra for cooked breakfast, but if all you need is a bed in a central location, perfect. Staff pleasant too.

Above average”
The room I was allocated had no natural light, felt claustrophobic . Better use could have been made of the room space e.g. I turned the bed thro' 90 degrees to gain more floor space. The toilet area though clean and bright was cramped, the position of the toilet paper dispenser meant you had to nigh on do a 'three point turn' to use the WC. If I had known I was to have been allocated this room I would not have booked. JB, Glasgow Boy from London

Short stay”
When I reached the hotel, my son-in-law was with me to help with my luggage. He asked to use the toilet and the staff told him that the toilet is not for non-residents. What a way to treat customers. He had to wait until we finished checking in and go up to my room and then he used the toilet in the room. Totally heartless and unfriendly. And then the staff charge me for the room when I had already paid through the internet booking. I had to ask for a refund after checking my online booking. I had a heavy luggage and asked her whether there is an elevator to go up the three floors. I was told there was none and I had to drag the heavy luggage up the three flights of winding stairs. Certainly not for the elderly to stay. Really disappointing experience.

Noisy, cold, dated”
Nice staff, decent location but far too noisy & cold as old building. No lift, and 4 floors. Would not recommend. We were contemplating going home rather than staying overnight. Rooms are very dated, wooden flooring, bed uncomfortable. Clean room. Lovely breakfast staff Called reception re noise and got told we were at the quiet side.

Good location, friendly staff”
I stay at the Merchant City Inn for one night. The hotel is well situated in heart of Glasgow. The reception staff was very helpful. I needed to have access to wifi and not always availble on the top flooe. I was moved to the ground floor in a nice doulbe room with all confort and acces to wifi. Would definitely recommned this hotel.

Lovely hostel in the middle of Glasgow City Centre”
stayed for 1 night as a stopover in glasgow to other parts of scotland. the inn/hostel was great value - superb location (right across george sq. from the queens st. train station), amazing staff (i had to leave at 5am and the staff made sure i had some breakfast (which came with the room and usually starts at 7am) before i left!), and clean rooms. the rooms are a little old, but sheets and towels were clean. comes with tv, complimentary coffee and tea, kettle, and soap.

a very good hotel!”
This hotel is very good, near to shopping and all amenities. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make your stay a pleasant one. Although we were only there for one night, the stay was very satisfactory and when next in Glasgow, will book again.

Very romantic feeling. perfect location for the young at heart/”
We loved it, Not for those who want all the frills. You have to be fit to carry your bags up the spiral staircase and not mind some happy noises from the nightclub nearby but its a perfect location to walk around the old city. We walked from the bus depot about 15 minutes away . All the staff were very friendly and helpfull,The room is small but very clean. Bathroom had nice hot shower. The tv could be moved more center on the wall as the sound is muffeld if you open the large window pane to allow a beeze. We would return again .

A Good hotel in a handy location”
Have stayed here quite a few times before, i have always found the hotel to be clean and tidy and the staff freindly. rooms can sometimes be of an odd shape or layout but thats not surprising as its a old building. having said that i should also say that i have never found the rooms to to small, they tend to be of a good size. The breakfast here is one of the best that you will get in Glasgow and its seved up by a freindly cheif. The only negative points i can say about the hotel is that the spiaral stairs are not the best if you have a lot of luggage and also as its a popular hotel you need to book well in advance to get a friday and sdaturday together.

Ideally situated”
This hotel is situated in a street behind Ingram Street and The Corinthian Club. Ideally situated if you require to be in the city centre. The hotel is in an old building with character. Reception staff were always friendly and polite. My room was clean, very warm and had TV, hair dryer and tea/coffee making facilities - all that I needed. The only fault with the room was that the mattress should have been replaced as it was uncomfortable having been well used. I brought this to the attention of Reception. Breakfast was adequate, Continental style included with the room rate. Hot cooked breakfast was available for an extra £3 if wished. There were no other facilities that I could see but as I was attending a course and out all day I didn’t need anything else. I was woken one weekend night with ‘the party’ beginning at 0345....other guests singing, shouting and speaking loudly, ... they had no consideration for those already sleeping. It can happen in any hotel.
