Expert reviews
“This former church is a longtime favourite for its decadent decor and plush lines. Stylish rooms with mood lighting have a dark, brooding tone and opulent furnishings.”
“Nothing orthodox about this former Greek Orthodox Church, transformed into a stylish modern boutique hotel in a city centre location. There’s a lively lounge bar, excellent brasserie dining and a casual bar.”

Fabulous
The room was lovely with a wonderful deep bath. The staff were so helpful from start to finish. Martin went out of his way. Ideal location.
The lighting in the room was a bit dull for me.

Perfect post Christmas break
Enjoyed our recent stay the hotel felt relaxed and calm which suited us following the Christmas hype! Staff friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast was very good.
Parking costs! The bedroom carpet wasn’t as clean and tidy as the rest of the room and hotel facilities, felt like it needed a good vacuum.

Lovely overnight stay
We had a lovely overnight stay in this beautiful old building. The staff were absolutely lovely. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were great and the cocktails were very good. Huge room. Nice and quiet.
The sink was very slow to drain and the bathroom could generally do with a bit of maintenance.

Clean, value and central location
Clean and great location. Nice bar too.
Parking was expensive although handy but that’s price you pay for being in centre. Noisy guests too, but appreciate not hotels fault, but after 3 hours staff could have said something to them!

Great stylish boutique city hotel
Check in, cleanliness, style of room, breakfast
Nothing really. If anything, the bar area could be a bit more cosy, divided up a bit. Due to the high ceiling, its a bit too open

Glasgow trip
The building was amazing, beautiful and very clean.
The location was very difficult to get to. Top of a hill for people with mobility problems like ourselves was quite difficult. When I booked the map said it was city centre but it's not.

Hot cooked to order

1 night stay
Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable of local area for parking etc and bed and bedding was very comfortable
felt the rooms were a little basic , and a little tired looking. No charging point or suitable plug at beside and lighting in bedroom was either very dull with beside lamps on or very bright with spot lights on . Also bathroom sink was leaking didn't notice untill we were checking out so reported to reception on our departure
15 December 2024
nice night
We were only there for a short time However it was a good experience. The best part was the staff who were lovely.
A bit expensive
9 December 2024
Very pleasant stay in convenient central location with excellent staff and restaurant.
Staff were super-helpful and pleasant to deal with The heritage building has a lovely ambience. The restaurant and bar were excellent too.
Nothing important. Maybe having to climb up the stairs.

One night stay
Good location for Hydro (15 min walk) One of ladies at reception was very welcoming and chatty when checking out. Lovely comfy bed with good feather pillows, clean white sheets, towels and robes.
For us, the room was too dark; Need lights in cupboards to see when making tea/coffee and for hanging clothes, Very loud creaking floorboards in our room and rooms around making it noisy, no full length mirror or make up mirror in bathroom, no face cloths or rail for hand towel. Room was dusty esp bathroom and radiators, crack marks in sink, No fridge in room. Our personal suggestions would make it a deluxe room as sold to us and match other deluxe rooms we’ve stayed in.

Pleasant
It was nicely decorated. Reception staff were very friendly.
5 December 2024

My bathroom smelled a little "musty", maybe an underlying damp issue, without this I would have scored my stay higher, room was very comfortable.

Most enjoyable stay in a city centre hotel.
Lovely building with tasteful decor and decorations. It started raining just as we were about to depart to our concert but the receptionist called for a taxi. Breakfast was delicious with a choice of continental or more tradional cooked items cooked to order.

Fantastic Location in Glasgow
Nice hotel Great location Comfortable bed
Didn't like the room on the ground-floor behind the reception, asked to be moved, also requested an upgrade (pre-arrival), no communication or knowledge of this with the reception staff Bathroom a little outdated, could do with a refurbish

23 November 2024
I think average sums it up the hotel was fine and I enjoyed it but nothing wowed me
Nice hotel for a night away with out the kids
The pillows were the worst pillows I’ve ever experienced in a hotel, only two towels in the room
22 November 2024
5 stars all round. Brekki could be better
Staff were outstanding. Friendly and Welcoming as always Rooms were perfect, and comfy lovely and chilled. Wine with dinner was nice.
Bar menu after 7pm was limited to burgers and wee bit pricey. Breakfast was a tad on the dry side , like not as fresh as normal even though it was 7am.
18 November 2024
It was lovely and we will definitely be back
The room and bathroom was very clean
The showers temperature control was broken and we could hear the room next door talking

Sufficient For Overnight
All staff encountered were helpful and courteous. Room was a bit dark - new lights would help. Absence of guests bar after hours was a minus. Parking facilities too far away from Hotel.
