Expert reviews
“Discreetly hidden atop a timeworn railway administration building right alongside Glasgow Central, this small, well-priced hotel is a modern, upbeat surprise. Rooms are compact but well-appointed.”
“A stylish independent penthouse hotel hidden above Glasgow’s bustling city centre. This oasis of calm is situated atop a converted Victorian office block, and its luxury rooms have stunning views over the historic Central Station.”
“Not visible from the street, this hotel occupies a sixth floor above Central station; guest rooms are on the small side but have expansive windows overlooking the glass roof of the station on one side and across the rooftops of Glasgow on the other.”

Lovely boutique hotel that is quiet for central Glasgow, with great acces to trains and local restaurants and tourist at
Central quiet location. Rooms were a good size. Comfortable bed. Good size shower. Compact size bathroom. Liked that we were given an access code to the building so felt safe. We were able to check in early which was very helpful. Lovely free baking available throughout the day. Great artwork as well.
Bathroom sink clogged up but they fixed that very quickly.

So convenient and beautifully comfy. Was a bit worried as a solo female traveller about the reviews mentioning the surrounding dodgy area - wasn't even a thing. Perfect. Will stay again

As room was spotless and warm and in a great location as we traveled by train, I would rebook.
Great location for central station. Room warm, spotless, comfortable bed with good quality bedding. Added touch of free cake. Ice-cream, tea and coffee. Bottled water, teabags provided in room. Toiletries hairdryer supplied. Good choice of TV channels.
On arrival at doorway on Union street, pressed intercom to speak to staff and gain entry. No answer.. Had to wait on the street with luggage untill a young man came out so we could get into lift area. This should not happen. Teatray in room only had tea and sugar. Should also provide coffee and uth milk.

Very good
The location was very convenient next to the train station. We booked single beds and we got upgraded to two double beds for free so we were really happy. Staff was very helpful. Complimentary, tea , coffee and a selection of cakes at all times !!
The only thing we didn’t like was the bathroom door that didn’t close all the way.
15 January 2024
Everything was lovely, the complementary cakes were very cute. The room was just what I needed.
You can hear the train station but it’s not so bad

Stumbled across this wee gem of a place whilst looking for a place to stopover. It is very well presented with large roo
It’s a secret gem, hidden away at the top of an old Glasgow building. Very well presented, immaculately clean with large rooms.

Fab location. Super friendly and helpful staff
This is a fabulously, homely, scandi facility with a Scottish twist. It is exceptionally, centrally located but the fact that it is located six floors up means that it is quiet. The sitting room facility is so good - especially when meeting up with people traveling a distance. LOVED the artwork. Every room is slightly different and some are quite quirky in layout which adds to the charm. The bedding is excellent. The best thing however is the staff - which can make or break your stay - they were so, so helpful and cheerfully answered (even inane) questions and provided helpful, local advice!
Nothing.

Lovely little hotel
I absolutely loved this hotel. Clean room/bathroom, comfortable bed, and free goodies everyday! Conveniently located next to the Glasgow train station. Would 100% stay here again.

Wonderful, homey stay in central Glasgow - perfect base for any trip to the city!
This hotel is perfectly located right next to Glasgow central station. You'd think that with being so central it would be loud but it's not; located on the 6th floor, the hotel is relaxed and chill - you would have no idea you're literally overlooking the glass roof of the station (pretty awesome as well!). When you arrive the staff are welcoming and friendly, easily booking you in with rooms ready and all decent sizes. The room is clean with it's own bathroom , comfy beds and bottled water - and smarties! - free of charge as a little welcoming gift. Card access to rooms is easy and desks are in all rooms which is great for me as I am a travelling remote worker. There is breakfast and supper for an extra charge which I didn't book but smelt amazing as well as a lounge area where there is 24 hour tea and coffee facilities to self serve - lovely touch. Something that made this place homely and unique was the ice cream self serve and homemade cakes table, both of which seemed to be always fully stocked and delicious! My cake intake tripled during my 2 day stay but I have no regrets! Overall, a wonderful stay with lots of quirky homey touches that means I would highly recommend and be coming back!
Sometimes hard to find plugs in the room or not near the desk where I needed it BUT such a minor thing and didn't impact my stay whatsoever!

Entrance is a bit underwhelming

Perfect hotel
Located a short walk from Central station. Room was bright, spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was spotless with a good shower. Tea/coffee in the room plus a common room for tea/coffee also. There were also free cakes and ice cream! Didn't have breakfast but will try next time.

Worth using it again if I didn’t book through Booking. com as we had to pay £44 more for breakfast
The Staff and fresh cakes and ice cream
A dangerous kettle which had a short mains wire which was attached to the kettle and not a separate base. This caused me to spill boiling water over my trousers, table and floor when I lifted it to fill my cup.
